Wanted are mems, women's, girls
and boys clothing and infants wear
in usable condition, as we'll as dra-'
peries, blankets, linens and worm
out clothing for rags.
Residents were asked to search
their attics, cellars and other storage
space for discarded clothing, make
bundle of the clothing and take 1t
to their own church or the church
nearest their home.
Churches were instructed to ap-
point a Women's Committee to be
responsible for the church's cloth
ing and rag salvage program. The
unusable clothing and rags may be
sold by the churches to regular
dealers or donated to one of the
four charity collection agencies par
ticipating in the drive.
Four Groups to Collect.
The four participating charities
Salvation Army, Goodwill Industries,
Red Cross and Volunteers of Amer
ica-will collect the usable clothing
and deliver it to designated dry
cleaners. These charities will be al
lowed to retain 10 per cent of the
usable clothing for relief work here.

Lamp Shades!
BY NarqGyet N0ureII

one OF our correspondents takes
Us to task bit for story on max
ing lamps accompanied by a pic
ture of lampshades, which are i'm
possible to find We admit we
were thinking about lamp bases
at the time-and at the pres
ent time she is correct in saving
My husband and l have made
lamps out of great variety of odds
and ends and we are always brought
up short when we reach the shade
stage. 1t has been our experience
that shades such as you show can
be bought only by buying the COM
plete lamp. We have been in every
store in Washington and have never
been able to find a separate drum
shaped shade in any size or color.
If you know where these shades can
be bought. will you tell us please?"
Up to six months ago we have
been able to find drum lamp shades.
Even were lucky enough to find two
pair in the five and ten not more
than eight months ago-but they
were not covered in a color or ma
terial We could use so that it was
necessary to recover them At the
present time-aS far as We know
there is not wire lamp shade frame
to be purchased-and we are in
formed that they are considered as
nonessential. So at the present time
it is case of recovering old frames
to bring that lamp up to date.
1t would not be too difficult for
our correspondent. with her huS-
bands assistance. to make drum
shaped shade out of a bell-shaped
one. A pair of wire SHIPS and
soldering iron would do the trick
Snip the side braces from the lower
wire hoop, snip the hoop and take
out enough of its circumference so
that it measures the same as the
top hoop. Then resolder the lower
hoop and when it is secure reSolder
the braces to the lower hoop.
Plenty of work." says you. We
admit that it is a bother when We
used to get these things so easily
but it Is worth the time it takes if
it completes a good looking lamp
which you couldn't buy for love nor
money
Just like everything else we do
these days, when we can't find the
things we want we make something
else do After the frames have
been recut. Or reshaped. they may
be covered in anything from paper,
sheer crepe, cheesecloth, heavy tex
tured fabric to what have you. The
handling of the materials at hand
is usually what makes it distinctive
Ordinary heavy brown wrapping
paper had delicate pattern cut
out of it with a razor blade. While
fiat on the table this was shellacked
and before the shellac was dry
cheesecloth was laid over the whole
and shellacked again to hold it in
place. When the shellac had dried
the cheesecloth was trimmed off
neatly, the pattern laid over the
frame and sewed at the top and
bottom. Trimmed with a COPPER
colored edging it made a handsome
shade on copper base.

'Chic Chill Chasers
BY EpeIpn Hares

Clothes are really fun this year.
After all, anybody can manage to
get by If she has an unlimited bank
roll to spend on her back. But we
give our vote to you gals who are
making heads turn by creating big
effects with more Imagination than
money. You're making last years
clothes do-and you're making ac-
cessories do tricks for them.
The newest clothes stretchers are
crocheted. They'll add warmth, as
well as whimsy, to your old dress. 1t
was a window display the other
day that lured us into one of the
shops to find this ainusing-and
amazing collection. 1t was a Wis
ion of black dinner dress with a
tie-on peplum OF black crochet spat-
tered with big, shiny wafer seuuins.
Fine stuff, we thought, and a great
idea because a gal can never tell
when friends house will be too
chilly these days. And wouldn't it
be cozy If you could simply say.
Pardon me while I get a shawl
and then proceed to startle your
friends by whipping of the peplum
and singing 1t over your shoulders.
We found inside that shop other
fascinating accessories of wool
crochet that for q few dollars would
pay large dividends in comfort and
chic. Take the peplum mentioned,
for example. You wear 1t as
peplum, you wear it as a cape with
dinner goWn-and then some
bright morning before the heats up
you throw it over your shoulders
for super de luxe bedjacket. You
can have it with or without seuuins
in lots Of colors-but we fell for
the all-black, although we can also
see merit in the shocking pink. In
cidentally, it's done in a great big,
loopy stitch that to our unpracticed
eye makes 1t look like a ouickie to
crochet, because there seem to be
more holes than crochet. Or are we
wrong?
Then there was a poncho-a bell
like effect in black wool crochet with
three-colored border. You slip it
over your head and it ,acez up to
a tight neckline, fits your shoulder
snugly and would turn any old black
dress into traffic stopper. If you
are on the lean side, you'll do we'll
to wear this number around your
hips for an unusual peplum. Believe
II not. we saw one girl try it on
as a hat-but we'd hate to be re-
Evening star., 1943-10-08

sponsible for what your husband
would say to that. There's a crochet
cap that matches the peplum; hss
feathers in colors to match the
border shooting out from the skull
for very whoopee effect.
We also loved the feathery-look-
ing wool crochet jabots. They start
out looking something the shape Of
a mans dinner tie-narrow at the
back and end in lots of loops at
each end that you tie over each
other to create drama at the neck
line of suit or tailored wool dress.
White and heavenly pastels for this.
You ingenious ones will find Wavs
to arrange this on your head for a
nice bit Of nonsense for your pretty
noggin.
If you already have one of those
zephyr-knit scarfs tucked in your
top drawer, take 1t out and start
doing pretty tricks with it. Drape
1t around the neckline of wool
dress-either fichu fashion or tie in
bow on one shoulder. Or you can
wear 1t straight, cross 1t over your
bosom and wrap the ends around
your belt to give an old wool dress
new look. If you buy another two
scarfs like it, or couple of pieces
of wide ribbon in contrasting colors,
you can braid all together to make
an attractive novelty sash. Or wrap
them into a turban for hat with
the new, neat look
You'll find lots of original acces-
sorry tricks in crochet to help yov,
double the life and the fun of last
years clothes. Best of all, you clever
ones can probably whip them up in
less time than it takes to say chill

The simplest way to do them is
to prepare by washing and cutting
as for any other preserving method,
then to put them into a crock in
layers alternately with salt, place
a weight q have used plate with
a brick on top on top and the
beans will form their own brine
Be generous with your salt layers,
and store the beans in a cool, dark
place. when living in the north

them in a cool corner of the room.

to put them, and they kept welD
When cooking these beans, wash

and drain, cover again with fresh
water, and do not add anv more
salt. I hope, Mrs. E. M. K, that
this will fill your needs.
