jews TO OBSERVE
FESTIVAL OF LOTS
Special Purim Services To
Be Conducted Here This
Weekend

Members Of the Jewish faith in
Wilmington as elsewhere through
out the world this weekend will OBJ
serve Purim, or Festival of Lots,
comm morating the deliverances of
the Jews from Hannah, the. min
lister of Ahasuerus, as related in
the shook of Esther.
Failing on AdAr IA and Is, the
origin of the festival is much dis
puted; some hold that it developed
from primitive spring festival
because it is celebrated just before
the, New Year in Nissan and that
the preliminary fasting was actu-
ally ordained in Esther 3, z.
Later Institution.
But the fasting is "a later institu-
ton and the feast is secular rather
than religious; it has all the
characteristics Of a spring carnival
including the ironical crowning of
the buffoon-king or vegetation-god
who was put to death after mock
cry.
During the synagogal reading Of
We book Of Esther, which is part
OF the Purim commemorative SER
vice, the reader hurries over the
execution Of the ten sons of Hama.l
{Estaer 1:7-10), pronouncing them
almost in one breath. This accord
ing to Jewish historians, goes back
to the Talmud and is ordained to
denote tehir simultaneous death
and to avoid gloating over a fallen
foe.
Religious Service
The Holiday will be observed
here by religious service, which
will be held Saturday night in local
Jewish churches at 1880 O'Clock.
All children of the syngogues will
be invited to be present and will
Purim gifts. According to
custom, gifts will be exchanged
and presents sent to the poor and
needy.
Purim services will also be held
on Sunday morning at Congrega-

Then, too, you have your choice
Of a soft trimmed dress that is easy
to cut and put together. The trim
ming on this type of dress may be
something added to the dress which
is easy to put on, or it may show
up in such easy-to-make details
as softness in the shoulders or gath
ers and tucks in the skirt.
Only if you are experienced with
sewing should you choose the So
phisticated, subtle dresses, and then
only if you are the type to wear
them. These dresses usually have
many different pieces and they
must be pinned together when cut
so they don't get mixed. They also
require painstaking work in sewing
as seams must be very carefully
finished. Outside stitching is taboo,
and every corner and curve must
be perfectly nodded to the figure.
Select your pattern first and then
the material. as patterns will guide
you to correct materials for the
particular style which you have
chosen. Always have matching
thread to make the sewing neat.

To Enhance Dress

Washing and ironing a shirt
is not the contrary job it's reput-
ed to be, even though there are
many older homemakers who
hate the thought of doing the
shirts. There's a trick, or per-
haps several of them, to doing
the job properly.
First of all, make sure the
shirt is clean. Put it through
two washings to make sure it is
immaculate. Use a soft but firm
brush for scrubbing collars and
cuffs, as they soil most easily.
Never rub the two together as
this simply paves the way for
fraying.
Turn the pockets out and make
sure there is no dirt, CRIME or
tobacco resting at the bottom Of
the pocket. If you don't do this,
there's bound to be trouble dur
ing ironing.
If it is a cotton shirt you are
washing, make the first rinse wa
ter warm, the second cool.
Rinse twice. Starch while wet
but consult the man as to how
he likes his, shirt starched.
When you hang the shirt to
dry, try to get most of the wrin-
kles out Of it by shaking them
out. This makes the ironing cas-
ier. When dry, dampen slightly
and roll in a towel, but do not
wad the shirt too tightly as this
will create wrinkles that just
need to be ironed
Start ironing with the wrong
side of the collar, then 60 to the
right side. Yoke and sleeves are
next. Then iron down the front
of the shirt so as to shape the
shirt properly.
If you make an addition to the
ironing board about the size of
a bread board, but quite a bit
lighter and pad this, it can be
slipped over the regular board
and used for shirts.

If you select suit for sportswear,
select one of the nice tweeds now

sure the pleats are deep enough to
allow for easy movement.

Woman's World
Semi-FOrmals Need Variety Ii
You Want Balanced Taste
& &,tta Haley

a FRIEND Of mine confded to
a me recently that she never
seemed to have as smart looking
clothing as her friends, although she
spent as much as they did. After
checking her wardrobe, we found
that she made one error from sea-
son to season.
It's an easy error to fall into, and
one you may be guilty of without
perhaps realizing it. This friend OF
mine had found one basic dress that
she liked and she bought similar
one every year, even though in a
slightly different color. Although the
basic design was becoming to her,
it finally became so monotonous
that she felt she was not having any
variety in her wardrobe, as were
her friends.
Every woman should realize that
every season requires something
entirely different in the way of color
and design if she is to be complete
ly happy about her clothes. I GER
tainly don't suggest that you go in
for bizarre experiments in clothing,
hats or accessories, but there are
many attractive colors and styles
from which to. choose.
Before you choose your afternoon
or semi-formal dress or your going
out, dress-up dress, whatever name
you give it, make list of the kind
of. interests and dates you're plan
ming to have. Then select a dress
that will fit all these purposes as
well as possible.
Even though black is smart, don't
repeat it every time you buy a
dress. See what navy blue can do
for you or royal blue or a deep
bright red or perhaps the new gray
beige tone with jeweled touches
about the throat or belt. You'll have
a nice surprise!
Select Dress to Fit
Your Type
If you are sewing the dress at
home, you can't do justice to either
material or pattern unless you real
ize your limitations with the needle.
Unless you are experienced in work
ing with material, don't choose
draped styles that may be hard to
handle. The soft, simple dress is
designed just for you, and it need
never lack variety.

To Enhance Dress
If you've received some particu-
larly attractive jewelry recently and
have nothing which really goes with
it, there's nothing better than an
attractive afternoon dress to set it
off properly. If the jewelry is large

Or, if you have very attractive
lacy dickey, make dress that will
truly show it off well. On dresses
such as these, use very good quail

Small tucks or pleats in the bodice
or skirt may be used effectively, but
they should be well tailored.
