NEW YORK.-Thanks to a new
construction trick, the newest crop
Of make-it-yourself crocheted hat,
bag and belt ensembles have all the
oomph and chic of fabulously pric-
&c custom matchmates.
That trick is to make meshed-
in effect as heavy as felt-and as
easy to drap-out CT cotton thread
by carrying four strands all at the
same time On your crochet hook.
This trick also wins huzzas from
busy women because it cuts down
considerably on the time it takes to
whip up style tricks like those
shown above.
Only a few evenings and eight
balls of thread, for instance, are
neeced to crochet either one of the
two ensembles pictured. So COM
pactly meshed are the four strand
weaves that no millinery wiring is
needed for either the berioboned
beret pictured left or the chou

War Wife Must
Add TO Duties
A Daily Letter
BY RUTH MILLETT

A letter from a soldier overseas
scoffs at the excuse many young
wives give their men for not writing
them every day. He Gays some wife
is forever explaining to her hus-
band: "By the time night comes and
I've done the housework and put
the baby to bed I'm often just too
tired to sit down and write" The
soldier thinks that is utter nom
sense.
Any woman could probably un-
derstand mcther's being too tired
at the days end to sit down and
wlite gay, happy-sounding letter.
But that's beside the point.
The point is that men may not
understand, and so expect daily let
ters from their wives no matter how
busy or tired they may be, or how
little time they may have for writing
letters. And if that Is true. the
women who fail to write as many
letters as their husbands expect are
making a sad mistake.
SAVE HOUR A DAY
somehow Cney ougnC 10 manage
to save an hour of each day or
night for letter writing. They would.
if they were convinced that daily
letter was as much their duty as
giving the baby his cod liver oil
every day or making beds and wash
ing diSheSai 7.s-f.e' -nSsa .a-'se
Nc matter how strongly woman
feels that she hasn't time to write a
letter every day or hasn't enough to
say to war; ant daily letter-if her
husband expects one she should
manage to get one off, somehow.
For it certainly isn't going to dc
her marriage any good for her hus-
band to be building up the resentful
feeling that she can find time for
everything the baby needs-but no
time for what he needs-a daily let
ter from home.

Dampen your hair with cologne
not water-when rain, snow or a
leaky shower cap blots out curls
and you want to reset them in a
hurry.
But warns a girl who touts the
merits of this trick-Mary Ash
worth, former Boston deb now sing
ing star of radios Supper Club:
Because cologne evaporates quick
ly, you must work fast to get your
waves comh-clinched and pin curls
UP before it dries
BY retracing your hairdresser's
technique, says Mary, you can work
faster-because your job is already
mapped out for you-and curls are
not nearly SO apt to look like duds.
