Rules for BIuing, Starching
And Hanging Out Clothes
BY PRUDENCE PENNY

YESTERDAY WE considered
the basic problems that concern
the novice in the art Of launder-
ing. Sorting, soaking, actual
washing and rinSlng Of clothes
were discussed. Today we viii
talk about bluing, Starching.
drying and special wash day
occurrences.
Most people like to use bluing
TO Offset the tendency of white
clothes TO turn yellow, although
If clothes are washed properly
rinsed carefully and dried in the
sun, they will probably never
need bluing. Colorcd clothes
should never be bluod.
Two things 10 remember when

are thoroughly rinSed before put

easier 10 iron IT is usually de-
sirable 10 use only enough starch
10 restore fabrics 10 their orig

Colorcd clothes, however, starch
should be lukewarm. Mix = cup
starch with i cup cold water.
Add 5 cups boiling water slowly.
Boil 2 or 3 minutes or until
clear. Dilute with water to de-
sired thickness.
Clothes should be dried in the
air whenever possible. Since
sunshine acts as a bleach, white
clothes ideally are hung in the
sun, and colored clothes in the
shade.
Hanging Up Clothes
The general rule for hanging
up clothes is 10 hang them by
their heaviest, firmest part.
Sheets and tableclothS may be
hung right side out, hem 10 hem,
and placed on the line 50 that

Helen Dexter and Margot Ander-

Helen in a trim suit had added
one of the beautiful ruffled white

Logical Thought
Saves Energy
By Patricia Lindsay

Even though our lives have
been speeded up to double pace
there is no reason why any wom-
an or girl cannot be poised and
charming. There is an old adage
which cautions: Make haste
slowly" and it is one most women
can repeat to themselves con-
stantly.
You and I know that if we
tackle a day chock full of tasks
in a thought-out routine, we ac-
complish much more and are not
as tired at the end of the day
than if we go at those tasks in a
hurried, helter- -skelter manner
which uses twice the amount of
energy.
We can also conserve our en-
ergy by thinking logically. How
much body fuel is burned by
senseless worrying and the bor-
rowing of trouble! How we waste
ourselves fretting about the trivi-
al and the unimportant!
The times call for us to mas
ter poise and to hold unto it. The
times also call for us to radiate
charm, for the world Is upside
down enough without all the
women losing their heads and be-
ing unable to instill hope, conf
dence and good will!
Recently I was discussing the
home problems with a group of
women. One woman lamented
the loudest and it was about her
silverware. Il simply cannot
keep my silver clean and my only
maid hasn't the time for 1t either.
I'm desperate!" she walled. In
the group was q softly spoken,
charming woman who is heading
one of the largest relief jobs in
New York City. She quietly COM
mented: why not pack your sill
yer away for the duration then
you would have no problem?"
That struck me as being good for
a test
Let's all of us pack away the
troublesome silver for the dura-
ton! Silver might be symbolic of
all the extra little tasks we do
which are unnecessary; or it
might represent all the useless
little things we think and say.
We are at war, so let's pack away
the silver and let's have peace of
mind, healthy bodies, poise, self
assurance, self confidence. Let's
have enough energy to give freely
for the important task which the
emergency has created.

fullness, slim back lines and
shorter jackets.
Hats you'll adore this year, be-
cause they're feminine, frilly and
utterly flirtatious and because
there's type for your own hair
do. You'll snatch at the last of
the colored shoes and the two
toned pumps which still appear
IN this years collections. You'll
want colorful gloves because
they're a most important part of
your costume and because they,
too, can transform simple dress.
Probably you'll want old-fash-
ioned braid on your dressy suit,
jeWeled buttons on otherwise
unadorned tailored types. You
will learn to pin a flower or a
feathered bird onto the skirt of
your short dinner dress and re-
peat the effect in your upswept
or shorter hair. You'll learn to
like lower heeled shoes for all
occasions and over-the shoulder
bags to make travelling to town
easier.
In short, you'll be more
thoughtful, more clever fashion
plate this year. Your wardrobe
will be less extensive and more
versatile. And that means it also
will be more interesting.

Washington Wears
Furry of Pastel Frocks Under Fur Goats

It becomes more and more APP
parent that the seasonal" aspect
of fashion is diminishing. Our
needs, as we'll as our likes and
dislikes, rule the clothes we wear.
If, for example, cotton is prac-
tical because of its instability,
there Is no reason why it should
not be worn in winter. If pastels
look as well under fur coats as$
they do with summer accessories,
then we will wear them all win
ter long.
This has been strikingly DEM
onstrated of late in the clothes
smart Washingtonians are wear
ing. Gay, frilly straw hats, pale
colored dresses and other spring.
like modes have cropped up right
in the dead of winter. Margaret
Jordan, for example, looked
charming in an aqua crepe frock
when she attended a party for
her soon-to married sister,
Margie Ennis. Also favoring
this color is Malvina Stephenson,
who wears black crepe frock
with aqua trimmed hat, gloves
and bow of aqua velvet ribbon
used as backing for a jeweled
pin.

The girl Of Is is at difficult

still have some of the chubbiness
of youth and curves may not

She is at the age when she
Is beginning to go out some and

Most girls use some cosmetics
at this age but heavy use of
them is unattractive. Skins often
give trouble. In fact, there are
dozens of problems which harass
girls and their mothers at this
crossroad period.
Careful attention given to
grooming, to health, to beautiful
carriage, to manners, to skin,
will lay the foundation for the
lovely lady she can become.
Overweight is a problem for
many girls of this age and causes
them to feel Self-conscious and
awkward. In many cases the
thickness will take care of itself
with the years. If it is extreme, it
Is wise to see physician to deter
mine whether there Is any glan-
dular trouble. If it is mild in
degree some curbing of the diet
is essential.
A girl of Is should not diet
strenuously but she can cut down
on rich desserts and candy, she
can order fruit juice instead of
a chocolate soda, she can leave
gravy, fat meat, macaroni and
cheese alone and should control
the amount OF bread and butter
she eats.

Plan Spring Clothes Carefully
With Discretion Adaay Uardyobe PAYS Duds

The other day we were watch
ing a promenade of spring fash
ions for Washington. And while
we were sitting there, it occurred
to US that this will be a history
making spring for fashion. 1t
will be a season in which clothes
will be regulated but not regi-
mented. 1t will be time in which
women will buy with more dis
cretion than ever, and it will be
the thing" to be ingenious rather
than extraVagant, comfortable
instead Of confounding.
Buying carefully does not mean
that you must be dowdy and drab.
Don't misunderstood the defni-
ton of careful shopping" which
is thrown at you so often these
days. Actually, women are being
encouraged to look their prettiest,
but they're also being asked to
cut out the 'foolishnesS" in fash
ion, the fadS that seem SO chic at
the moment, but which turn out
to be closet et-clutterers after the
first few wearingS.
So, before starting on your
spring wardrobe, go carefully over
the clothes you own. Decide what
can be worn successfully, but
prefer to keep a few becoming
things rather than an assortment
of Junk" in which you are at
your worst. Look at your suits
and figure how they can be
dressed up" with new blouses,
a change of jewelry, perky
handkerchief or a colorful veStee.
Eye your dresses and see what
can be done with a new belt, a
flower at the shoulder, a detach-
able peplum that you may make
yourself.
Look at your hats. See that a
bit of fresh yelling, new trim
ming of feathers or a peek-a-boo
edging of lace can make last
years cheapeau look like this
years model. Copy shamelessly.
Keep your eyes open for what the
designers are doing, what the
beSt-dressed women are wearing,
what the stores are showing, and
don't be timid about Switching"
their ideas.
Learn to use color to give
different look to your costumes.
Evening star., 1943-01-24

jackets sold separately under the
new regulations. If you buy a
print use imagination in adding
accessories. Pick up one color,
predominant or not, in acces-
sories and plan your wardrobe so
that the color will go with other
things as well. You'll like the
new look of shorter Jackets,
bolero type, and the feminine
appearance of eternally good
navy worn with frothy white
jabot blouseS or starkly simple
jade green ones. You'll learn to
wear striking black accessories
with toast-colored suits and you'll
like the look of suits with front
