BY Virginia Smith

Adding an inch or more to a short
skirt to bring it in line with stvle
trends is often simple chore. But
sometimes a home sewer strikes {
problem---for example, if a facing
is required, or if the back Of the hem
is shiny from much pressing.
The following suggestions will
help you meet number of hemline
'ifs"
If a wool fabric is shiny on the
underside of the hem, rip the hem
and steam-press on the wrong side
of the fabric, provided the wool is
lightweight or has a raised pattern
in the weave. Steam-pressing on the
right side may be more effective
for thick wool.
To steam-press, cover the fabric
with a dry wool press cloth, then
with cotton cloth dampened in
warm water. Use warm iron. Set
down, then lift the iron, taking care
not to slide it back or forth. If shine
persists, try raising the nap of the
wool with a clean brush or rubber
sponge--the kind used for suede
shoes.
If acetate rayon is shiny, steam
pressing as for wool may be effect
i've. If shine cannot be removed, or
if dress lacks hem, consider len
gthening some way that suits the
style of the dress. For example:Con-
trast bands may be inserted in the
skirt; yoke may be added to
skirt; waist seams may be let out; or
a belt of some other material may be
set into the dress and covered with a
belt.
If hem crease is conspicuous,
try wetting the crease line on the
wrong side, then turning the goods
over on right side, and rolling the
crease back and forth in the fingers
70 work it out Press on the wrong
side, afterwards.
If a skirt hem must be let out to
is full extent, use seam binding or
facing material, or both. If the dress
fabric is heavy, the seam binding
nay be sewed directly to the dress
edge. Then turn the binding up so
that about one-fourth inch of the
lress fabric is on the underside of |
he skirt--that is, don't fold along
he line where seam binding and
lress fabric join, because this would
,ause the skirtedge to ripple unat-
.ractively. If the dress goods is light
weight, facing about an inch wide
when finished is needed to give body
to the skirt edge.
Lightweight rayon is a suitable
facing material for rayon or wool
clothing. For cotton clothing, light
weight cotton makes good facing.
Preshrinking facing material is
generally a wise precaution, if the
is not labeled preshrunk.
If a skirt to be faced is circular
or flared, cutting the facing on the
bias is good. If the skirt is straight
or pleated, use a straight facing; or
if this type of skirt is not made
straight with the goods, a shaped
facing may be best.
Wnen sewing ldclllS 10 Skill
edge, an ordinary seam will do, if
the skirt is of lightweight goods.
But with heavier material, it may
be best to turn under the edge of
the facing and top-stitch it to the
skirt edge.
When you've sewed the facing on,
turn it up SO that the fold is about
one-fourth inch from skirt edge.
Then hem the facing to the skirt,
or finish the edge with seam bind

Light Cruiser Houston To
Be Used For Training
By Naval Reserves

A tWo-weeks training cruise for
naval reserves of the Sixth Naval
District, which includes the Will
mington area, aboard the Navy's
light cruiser USS Houston will
originate April 6 at the Charles
ton, S. c., naval base.
The Houston, according to word
received by the Wilmington navy
recruiters, will arrive at the naval
base on Saturday, April 5, will en-
bark for r~eservists on the day fol-
lowing, and will depart to sea early
on the morning of Monday, April 7.
A complement of 20 officers and
200 men has been authorized for
the two weeks of naval reserve
training.
The Wilmington recruiters point
ed out that since the naval reserve
complement for the trip is expected
to be filled rapidly, all naval re-

She did catch it, but only by a
matter of seconds. The conduc-
tors big hand half lifted her and
her smart pigskin overnight case
up the steps. Sherry thanked him,
breathlessly, as the train slid into
motion. She made her way down
the aisle to an empty seat, placed
her bag on the rack overhead and
slipped out of her coat. Then she
settled back comfortably for the
hours trip to the little town of
Brundage.
At first the tram sped past the
drab ugliness Of grimy factories
and ancient, ramshackle flats,
their desolate back yards banked
with dirty snow. Not liking the
view beyond the windows, Sherry
let her attention dwell idly on the
cars occupants. Suburban COM
muters, for the most part, their

numerous suburbs that ravel out
like fringe from the edge of the
city. Brundage was in n sense a
suburb. It vas a town il its own
right, small, but surprisingly self
sufficient, a county seat, extend
ing almost as far west as the Fox
River.
When Sherry glanced out the
window once more, she saw that
the city had fallen away. Gone
were the drab back yards and ug-
ly buildings, the occasional crisis
cross of car tracks. Between the
suburban stops, the train sped
through unbroken fields of clean
snow, the bare trees etched in sill
houette against it, broad highways
curving away to the horizon be-
meath infrequent bridges. At every
stop the cars occupants decreas-
ed in number.

material of She had ever got
to know some of those people a

But when the war was owe the
plant closed down. And Sherry
didn't try to get another job. 1t
wouldn't be fair, not with unem-

girls who had to earn their livings
looking for jobs. So now she was
back in her old cushioned rut
again; she spent her days shop

Val had stopped teasing her. But
Sherry often felt so keyed up, SO

SO soul = hungry, that she didn't
think she could bear it. And she
would think grcpingly, there must
be more to life than this-there
must be! Else what point, what

When she was at the farm,
when she was with Steve, her ex-

was something there of reality. OF
simplicity, something fundamental
and sure in a confused world that
seemed sure of very little.
