Visualize Dress

When YOU are cutting out your
pattern. Try 10 visualize IL as 1t
will look in the finished garment.
This is vitally important with
prints because the way you
place the designs will make such
a difference.
Center large design, or
work any off center placement
as if it were done purposely,
balancing it on the other side.
Never be haphazard in the
cutting of your prints as that

Not a Vamp

A man can enjoy taking her
out TO lunch or dinner or even
dancing. without the dread of
being vamped.
She is interesting and always
good company. But he is not
afraid of her; because he knows
that she will not propose to him,
nor take advantage of his
weaker moments.
She can be business-l like, gra-
cious, understanding, chummy or
entertaining, without lapsing
into coquettishness or that oh

Protecting Cords

Electric cords should be han
died carefully so that they do
not kink or twist. When re-
moving a cord from an outlet
or appliance, pull the plug
not the cord. If the outer fabric
becomes worn, wrap II with
electricians tape.
Garden hose should be kept
on a reel or cooled on a flat, dry
surface. Greatest wear comes
near the faucet
All breaks in rubber hose
should be cut out of the hose
and couplings should be In
serted on the cut ends.
A break in the hose can often
be repaired by inserting a short
piece of pipe 10 connect the cut
ends-clamp the hose firmly 10
this from the outside.

Keeping Rubber Young

Be on the alert for rubber
enemies. Store properly. Take
off the spots. Mend in time.
These are among the tips on
ways to keep rubber young.
Store rubber in a cool, dark
place, away from hot air ducts,
steam and hot water pipes.
Heat and sunlight weaken and
crack rubber. If the article
being stored is part cloth, the
storage place needs TO be dry
as well as dark and cool. Other
wise the cloth may mildew.
Do not fold or crease rubber
articles before putting them
away. But where this Is I'M
avoidable, little talcum or
cornstarch may be sprinkled be-
tween the folds TO prevent
sticking.
Foundation garments, sus-
penders and other elastic gar
ments should be washed with
warm water and mild soap.
handled gently. and stretched
as little as possible while wet.
After they have been rinsed
several times. allow them 10
dry in a cool, airy place away
from heat or direct sunlight.
Likewise. boots, galoshes and
overshoes should be thoroughly
cleaned with water, using soap
II necessary. Stuff them loosely
with wads Of paper to keep them
in shape. Dry them away from
pipes, radiators and sunlight.

Wash Linens

In addition TO securing safe
storage place. the bride should
see that all washables are
washed before storing.

Is said 10 help preserve them
from following"
Wooden blankets should be
carefully treated with moth re-
pellants and wrapped securely,
even if they are to be placed in
an alright chest or trunk. II is
a good idea to air all woolens
about twice a year.
