The new maternity
clothes have real
style. Look here %.

Pr YOU'RE expecting a baby, you're
part of a revolution - not be-
cause you're having baby, for
that's been done before. but because
you are demanding something new in
maternity clothes. And you're get
ting it!
Designers took one look at recent
birthrate figures (highest ever re-
corded in the U.S.) and got out the
tape measures and their ingenuity.
In II leading cities the demand for
maternity clothes is up 200 per cent
and three-fourths of that demand
is in junior sizes.
So designers went to work devel-
oping new techniques and clever de-
signs. They had free hand, too. for
the WPB imposes no restrictions on
maternity dress material. Result:
What used to be just maternity
clothes have become maternity fash
ions.
The newest trend is away from
trying to disguise pregnancy and
toward emphasis on the best lines
under the circumstances. With lin
gerie touches and little round collars,
you can ,Ga.k demure as a schoolgirl,
or 10 2 tailored, draped street dress
you can be a sophisticate.
Play Your Favozitss
"WHAr do you like to wear?" is
the first question one buyer asks the
expectant mothers who come into
her speciality shop. Chances are
you'll find your pet kind of dress -
smart shirtmaker. classic wool. or
navy sheer. The original maternity
dress was a wrap-around; after that
came the dress with elastic at the
sides. Now there are Improvements
on these, including the drawstring
to let out, laundry-bag fashion; vari-
ations of the dirndl; pleat adjust
ments which you snip with scissors
as time demands; the hook which
has series of eyes, spaced about an
inch apart in a waistline row at each
side of the skirt, so that fullness can
be let out eye by eye.
They have made maternity slacks,
too, deliciously comfortable and as
tailored as you could wish. You can
also pour yourself into completely
lavish housecoat, in any style and
such colors as moss green and coral.
And most practical innovation is
the maternity skirt, as old as grand
mothers time really, but made wrap
around or with front fullness. You
can wear your own blouses or sweat
ers with the skirt and it comes in
long version for dinners at home or
out.
Two-Soasoa Wardrobe
WAIsTLRE expansion varies from
8 to IL inches. If you're in the r.
inch category. you may find your
hemline hiking up, although much
of this has been done away with by
design. If necessary. however. 60 to
the shop where you got the dress
and have it let down for you. That's
what that wide hem is for.

two cottons, get daytime dress
with several collar changes; a mater
nifty skirt to go with your blouses;
and hostess gown or dinner dress
and presto, you have mother
to-be outfit for every need. You
might, if you like them. add pair
of the expanding slacks and long
ish jacket. You can top slacks with
blouses or jacket - and the jacket
also goes with your skirt.
Safe Dress Formula
AL maternity dresses don't have
to be discarded after the baby is
born. either. Some manufacturers
are specializing in dresses that can
be taken in easily - or worn as is
long afterward. Opinion is divid-
ed as to the practically of this idea.
but what with wartime shortages,
II s eOmethlng to CONSIDER.
Now that fashion has come to
maternity clothes, you can apply the
style principles you've always known
- namely. highlight what you want
noticed and tone down what you
don't. Have a print dress with a
foam of organza collar and cuffs
as on the Eloise Glover designed
dress worn by our model. Or startle
black dress into spring with yellow
gloves and hat and a single yellow
tulip on your shoulder. For a dinner
dress try long skirt with a red silk
coolie coat.

Most pregnancies go through more
than one season, from now into fall,
for instance; or winter into spring.
The cottons you buy in May won't
be warm enough in October; 80
don't 20 all out for summer things.
About the only practical solution to
the seasonal problem is to buy two
of each kind of dress, one for now
and one later.

EARLY CHRISTMAS
MAILING Is URGED.
All Packages And Parcels
Should Be Posted Be-
fore December 10

Wilmington postoffice officials
said Saturday that mailing of greet
ings and parcels for this Christ
mas should begin in November
and most of them should be depo-
sited in the postoffice before De-
cember 10.
The slogan Of previous years of
''Shop Early and mail Early" is
more important this year than ev-
err before, it was said. Over 10000
United States postal employees have
entered the armed services, Great
ing serious shortage in trained
personnel. Transportation lines will
be overburdened with war traffic
during December.
''It is imperative" officials de-
clared, ''that the public respond
to the appeal to mail in November
-last-minute gifts not later than
December 10.''
Every effort is being directed to-
ward having all Christmas matter
lIldI1Gu LII lille lOI uCllVCly pClO4 e
Christmas, and all preparations,
plans and organization are being
made by the Wilmington postoffice
with that end in view.
Large advertisers are being re-
quested to Withhold heavy mailing
of catalogs, calendars, etc., during
December. Calendars should be
mail sufficiently in advance of De-
cember l to permit delivery be-
fore that date. This does not apply
to current advertising pertaining
to holiday sales.
In connection with extra help
for Christmas, competent men and
women on the Civil Service regis
ter of eligibles will be given first
consideration and next, competent
persons who were employed in pre-
vious years. No maximum age
limit is fixed in the employment
of temporary substitutes.

leadership Of which he is so
supremely capable"
He urged that the United States.
Britain, Russia and China agree
soon on basic principles for post
war world, to constitute 1.-The very
foundation" of an ultimate in
ternational organization" whose
two moral principles would be
1.-THE inalienable right of all peo-
Piles to enjoy the freedoms of re-
ligion, of speech and of informa-
tion," and the conviction that mo
nation has the inherent and I'M
limited right to govern subject
peoples"
Points in the agreement, he
said, should include the joint task
of keeping the peace; the ma
chinery for progressive armament
reduction; common policy of
realistic justice for conquered
enemy powers to render them in
capable of future aggression;
willingness not to undertake in
dependent action affecting SOW
ereign rights of other nations
without concurrence of all four
powers, and perfection of a uni
versal world organization.

BILE, our wealthy men passed that
bleeding soldier on the other side.
But what did these negroes do?
They answered the call to the
Red Cross. They gave till it
really hurt for they were poor.
They did not pass by on the 9TH
er side. They ran to the aid of
that Ashe County soldier. They,
through the Red Cross, poured in
oil and wine for his wounds, they,
through loving hands of Red
Cross nurses and doctors, saved
his life and paid his bills, and
said if that white soldier boy from
Ashe County needs more, we will
furnish it when the call comes.
who then is a neighbor to the
white Ashe County boy that lay
bleeding in African" 'He that
showed mercy through the Red
Cross gifts" go THOU AND
DO LIKEWISE"
This week, the Red Cross drive
is over. The Red Cross is non
political, non-partisan, works
through neutral countries to put
you in touch with your boy, if he
is a prisoner; tries to show mercy
by tenderly caring for him, if he
is wounded. So why not join the
Red Cross and show mercy. If
a boy from our county is in need
of help and the Red Cross gives
him aid when he is wounded and
bleeding, what will that boy say
when he comes home after the
war and finds that his father, his
mother, his neighbor, and his
friends, have not put one cent in
to the Red Cross? 1 am afraid
he would say to them, "They pass
ed me by on the other side, when
l needed them most, but there are
people who showed me mercy
Before the Red Cross books are
closed this week, my friend, won't
you hurry to the nearest Red
Cross worker and go, AND DO
THOU LIKEWISE?"
