dress doesn't look too neat, and,
furthermore, our caller said she
didn't like the additional laundry
involved in housedresses that would
have to be fresh every day to look
jpreSentable.
The coverall is the one-word an
swer to the problem of How to Be
Smart Though Scullery- ing" The
coverall may take several forms,
but the principle is the same. You
get cotton garment that cov-
ers your entire facade, protecting
what you're wearing beneath.
Pockets are the big requisite of this
piece of apparel-great big ones, so
you can tote with your dust cloths
and other small cleaning impedi-
menta. as we'll as your cigarettes
and matches zone mark of distinc-
ton from your dear departed
jewell.
AS one gal said to us the other
day: If I only had something with
really big pockets so I could carry
dust cloth and an oiled rag with
me, I wouldn't have to walk past a
desk with thin film of dust on it
and leave it-just because I didn't
happen to have cloth with me
and didn't want to run to another
end of the house to get it
A fine answer to the problem is
the corduroy version of the cobblers
apron photographed with its huge
pockets that reach to the bottom of
the apron. The same idea in
checkerboard gingham is a honey;
its gay, perky and protective. Stacks
and a shirt look fine under these
with a sweater added for warmth if
necessary. A fine buy, too, Is a
carpenters apron of heavy awning
stripped cotton. This has an as
sortment of pockets that would
probably accommodate everything
from feather duster to a spray
gun. This job would wear forever
at least we don't see how you could
wear it out.
If you like a touch of whimsy in
your life, look at a coverall of dark
blue sailcloth with huge kangaroo
pocket in front printed with chicks
or piglets. But don't get ideas;
you'd better leave the baby in the
baSsinet and use the pocket for
cleaning gear.
An unbeatable idea is a little
number called the "Popover," which
is nothing more than a one-button
made of sturdy striped
denim. 1t has good, deep pockets
and bright quilted pot holder at
tached to the adjustable Waistband.
You could wear it solo-per-
hapS with a long sleeved pull
over under it for warmth with the
neck and cuffs of the sweater flash
ing spots of color-or you might
slip it on over a pretty little house
dress. Oh. yes-the "Popover" has

and then let stand open in the sun

Is another idea for coverall. 1t
seems that the efficient little house
wives have been wearing them for
years for housework over sports
dresses or over shirts and slacks.
The latter costume, we may add,
dispenses with the need for hose,
which is no small consideration
these days. incidentally, corduroy,
which can take an awful beating, is

a good choice for slacks-and we
have seen some that look like lot
for little money.
BY this time you've probably fig

coverall is that you can be scrub

flashing across European skies 1t is the hard
hitting Vega Ventura whose binding speed
and heavy fire power have been making it
more than match for Nazi defenses.
1t has already been delivered in quantities
to the U. S. Army Air Forces and to the Royal
Air Force. Bigger than the famous Hudson,
which it resembles, it cruises at about the
Hudson's top speed and sprays 50 caliber bull
lets from five gun positions.
A nautical version, the PV-1, is now in pro-
duction for the United States Navy. Hidden
in its belly it carries depth charges or stand
ard torpedo. Its mission will be to seek out and
destroy submarines. Land based, it will fly
farther than the Hudson with heavier useful
load. Droppable gas tanks plus tanks within
the fuselage give the Ventura, it is claimed,
range far in excess of any high speed planes
until now possessed by the Navy. Its land
ing speed is less than 80 miles an hour,
enabling it to operate from small islands in
remote areas where long runways are not
