brigade on the home front. you'll
be wise to consult your local sew
ing experts. who'll be glad to show
you the latest fashion tricks and
modern sewing shortcuts in an
afternoon or two. You'll find that
this patriotic trend need not be
limited to dressing up worn or torn
areas on garments. but can also be
used with great fashion success to
enIiven an unadorned dress, coat,
skirt or jacket.
Saves on Fabric
For instance. II your sewing plan
includes one of those daytime day.
out American dirndl skirts with
front gathered fullness, why not
inaugurate the fabric saving idea
OF adding pockets of colorful
patches from your rag-bag? In
practically a matter OF minutes. the
little zigzagger attachment will APP
plique these diversified pockets on
the skirt. after you have placed
them in position. Then, il you want
to add a really unusual touch, use
the handicraft guide attachment to
make narrow wool fringe border
and edge the pockets with 1t
around the sides and bottom.
II the pockets on your favorite
Jacket have suddenly developed
that "all-gone" look, rip them of
and replace them with little tri-
angular shaped pockets made from
some odds-and-ends of wool fabric.
You can achieve miracle Of firm
edge stitching on these pockets. II
you use the edge stitcher attach
ment to anchor them to the jacket.
When Sleeves Split
So often when sleeves split at
the elbow from constant. hard
wear your choice Of remedy was
usually limited to cutting them off
above the worn part on the Slight
chance that the short version
would look all right. Now. you can
keep those sleeves intact. and what
is more, you can add to their at
tractiveness by appliqueing a COL
orful patch or patches over the
worn spot. Two overlapping
patches Of different colors look
even more decorative than just one
big patch. For instance. you can
combine square patch OF one
color with an oblong patch OF an
other color overlapping it.
You can add gay touch to WOOL
en- or knitted mittens and gloves
with bright patches OF calico cot
ton or some other printed fabric.
These are Just a few thrifty ideas
that you can introduce to brighten
up your war economy wardrobe.

to linger in the lavatory, to hang
up his outer garments in the cloak
room and not to interrupt when
another had the floor. they would
never get on with their daily les
sons.
Why Is 1t that a teacher dealing
with SO many children may be
obliged to resort to no more discip-
linary action in the course Of the
day than parent. let us say. who
has but three children to handle ?
1t is admitted that the answer lies
to some extent in a desire on the
part Of each child in a large group
to behave more or less as others.
But that isn't the entire expla-
nation. A big factor In the teach
ers success where the parent fails
is that her emotions are ordinarily
not involved. These children are
not her own and mother love does
not interfere with her ability to
deal effectively with her charges.
Her attitude toward them Is guided
by rules which either she or the
school authorities have laid down.
The children know the inevitable
consequences Of bad conduct and
habitual inattention. The impor-
tant thing here Is that the conse-
quences are inevitable.
AS rule. the parent knows what
he should do in a situation calling
for punishment. Too often. how
ever. he allows his feelings for the
child to interfere with his better
judgment. For example. he may be
willing to dispose of the matter by
threatening the child with punish
ment II the offense is repeated.
Sometimes this acts as q chal-
lenge. In any case. postponement
Of due punishment does not consti-
tute correction. It teaches the
child rather. to gamble on his hold
upon parental affections - some
thing which he dare not do with
the teacher.

he is right, that he can marry any
old time. and that he can't marry
the girl of his choice seems bit
far-fetched. Anyway. it's risk he
is willing to take.
Mistake Not to Marry
But being married and being sim
gle are habits which in middle life
are pretty hard to break Most men
marry in their twenties. II they
survive those susceptible years.
they are quite likely to be "sot" In
their ways and not marry at all. or
at least until they wake up to the
fact that lonely old age stretches
drearily before them. Then they
marry. not the woman OF their
choice. but the woman who has en-
terprise enough to be on the spot.
Now my old friend confldes in me
that 1t was mistake for him not
to have married and he refuses to
be comforted by my suggestion
that 1t is not too late. ANY woman

could not bear it"
But why not? All marriages are
based on gain of one kind or an
other. Girls marry to better them
selves. so do men: they marry to
possess the one they love. which Is
gain. They marry to better their
living conditions. or at least so
they believe and hope. They marry
In the hope Of side-stepping a lone
ly life. to gain children, compan-
ionship. the joys OF family life-it's
all gain of one kind or another.
Unwilling to Sacrifice
Why should my old friend object.

order to gain affection and COM
panionship? He feels. even admits.
the lack of these things. yet even
now he Is unwilling to risk a gener-
Gus impulse. He finds no warmth or
comfort in the Golden Calf: he is
appalled, at the price he has paid
for the stocks and bonds on hand.
A woman is not always to blame
for finding herself in kindred
plight. but a man who has never
married Is to blame. True. one may
have married once. or any number
of times. and still be left alone at
the end. but that's as may be. at
least one has not elected to be
alone.
Bachelors have a lot OF fun-but
they pay for it. It's something Of
racket to be desirable extra man.
