Save Old Blankets, Woolens
To Make Youngsters Robes
by G,aa Haley

WITH youngsters growing out Of
w their clothes so rapidly, moth
ers with several children have quite
. tussle with the clothing budget just
about this time Of the year when SO
many warm things are needed for
them.
They don't have time for sewing
the fine seams, they argue, and yet
the budget doesn't permit buying a
lot Of ready-made things. One of the
easiest ways to solve this difficulty
Is to buy the things that require fine
tailoring and fine seams, and then
make those things at home which
can be put together quickly and
easily.
In the latter classification comes
the bathrobe, which is an essential
item. II you have any kind Of ma
terial that can be salvaged, such as
your own old robes or Daddy's, or
even some old blankets, then you
will not need to buy the fabric.
You won't need any time for care
full fitting because bathrobes should
fit loosely. Construction should be
sturdy for youngsters robes, as
they will spend some time playing
in them before bedtime, but this is
easily assured If you use the ma
chine.
There are no. fancy trimmings
necessary, so the time you spend in
making the robe Is cut down to a
minimum. You can probably turn
out at least one robe in just an hour
or two Of good work. Save more
time by buying ready-made cord for
the belt, and II necessary have the
buttonholes made commercially to
save some more Of your time.
Select Fabric, Style
For Its Usefulness

robe mainly in the morning before
getting dressed, and in the evening
after a bath, a good cotton blanket

these Helen Hokinson figures at
which everyone pokes so much fun,
spend a considerable portion of
their time in plotting how young
homes may be kept together, how
the love between man and his son
may be kept unbroken.
Our boys begin begging to 60 with
Dad, to do things the way Dad does,
to wear clothes like Dads, from the
age of three up. "There they COL"
say Mother and the girls resignedly,
when the racket and shouting, the
fishing rods or golf clubs or mixers
are out of the house.
What Foreigners Miss.
But I think I know what Gorer
misses between our fathers and
their sons. It is the old European
custom of thrashing the boys. We
don't do it. We don't allow it in our
schools. And time and again l have
seen resentment in Europeans and
Englishmen because our sons are
not caned.
Gorer indicates his position very
clearly when he says; Gwen if his
temperament made him (the Amer
lean father) tend toward dominat-
ing his children and exacting un-
questioning obedience from them,
he would get no support from his
wife, his neighbors or his commu-
nifty"
There is it, the old-world attitude
of bullying boys until they are old
enough to leave home. The outlet
for Dads angers and disappoint-
ments was often furious order for
the son of the family to meet him in
the woodshed. "Flog the young beg
gars!" said an understood master
in an American school. "Do 'em
good. used to get it hot and heavy
few years ago!"
When it was explained to him that
our American ideas are more sane,
that affection, example, reason are
our weapons, he commented in
amused despair at our softness. I
am sure it would be IN immense
satisfaction to him, and perhaps to
Gorer, too, to hear that American
fathers had laid in large supply of
leather belts.

BIGGER SUGAR RATION

More sugar will be available for
Americans next year than this year
if foreign buying power is further

Flannel, or fannelette, is another
good bet, especially for the girls.
These are not so sturdy as the blan-
ket materials, but if the child Is not
too rough on the robe, they will be

1 Y an American from his
immigrant ancestors, he rejects
his father as an authority, and
expects his sons to reject him"
This is one of the extraordi-
nary statements made in an
article called ''The American
Character" published in a re-
cent issue of a national maya
zine, and written by an English
man, Godfrey Gorer.
The entire article is possibly de-
signed to exasperate American
women, for most of Gorer's slight
ing generalities are incorrect, or, if
true, are also true in an even more
deplorable degree of all modern ma
tons, including his own. But today
I am only discussing his references
to the attitude of American boys to
American fathers. 1t is his idea that
generations back our migration
from the older world had the effect
of making us despise that world,
and that "the making of an Ameri-
can demanded that the father
should be rejected, both as model
and a source of authority"
That we are no longer emigrant-
minded, that thousands of us never
were, that moss of us brought with
us strong religious ideals embody-
ing respect for parents, evidently
does not worry Gorer. All through
our history, in letters. and biogra-
phies, family love and unity are
stressed as they are stressed in the
books of no other nation. Hasn't he
read any of them? In most Ameri-
can homes, excluding the tiny
fringe of intellectually rich folk, and
the still-emigrant-minded newcom-
ers, Dad is a loved and important
figure; all problems, plans, pleas
ures are brought to Dad for the final
word. Nothing in Gorer's article in
dicates to me that he knows the
small-town, modest income, typical
suburb at all. Yet these are Amer
lea.
Companionship.
Let him stand in Grand Central
station some Saturday afternoon
and watch the easy laughter and
companionship with which Dad and
the boys go off to the game. Let him
watch grimy-handed teen-agers in
December shops, giggling over
Christmas Jokes for Dad. Let him
walk through any modest residen-
tial section of any of our towns and
see who is helping Dad wash the
car, running to and fro on picnic
errands, or sprawled in the parental
lap in ,the shade of an apple tree,
listening enrapt to- Dad reading the
funnies.
There are exceptions. There are
mean Dads, of course; old-fashioned
unreason and majesty still stalk in
some of our homes. But I am speak
ing for 80 per cent of them when
state definitely, and from observa-
ton in foreign countries, at least as
extended as Gorer's in ours, that
our sons are a good deal nearer to
their fathers than the sons of any
other nation, again including his
own.
True, Mother does most of the
raising, in America. Doesn't she
everywhere? Don't most fathers 60
off to business every day, leaving
all minor domestic. decisions and
difficulties in Mothers hands? Eu-
ropean and English boys are sent
away from home far earlier than
ours are. These very club women

an attractive color. Usually I sug-
gest dyeing before sewing, but in
this case it's perfectly proper to
dye the finished garment. say this
because it will probably be easier to
dye the finished robe more smoothly
than it would be to dye a large
blanket of which you will use only
part of the material.
Suggested Routine
For Sewing Robe
If you are sewing from a pattern,
as you probably will be, make all
the adjustments as to shortening or
frightening, sleeve adjusting and
width and length of the back before
you start cutting. Make certain the
overlap is sufficient and the robe
comfortable in general.
You'll find the raglan type of
sleeve most comfortable for young
sters, and for you it will be easier to
sew firmly as well as sturdily with
french seam.
For youngsters you will not need
interfacing, as they like the more
casual type of robe. However don't
ignore their color or decorative pref
erences as they, too, should be al
lowed to enjoy their clothing.
An eight-year-old girl may want
some gay plaid on, her robe "just
like big sister," Maybe a ten-year-
old boy would like miniature of his
Dads robe made of maroon flannel
with dark blue binding for contrast
All of these little things are mighty
big for little folk, and they're easy
enough to cater to.
Basic the seams unless you are
absolutely certain of your sewing.
Then sew on the collar and the
pockets, and adjust the sleeves if
you are not using the raglan type
which will be done before the side
seams are even basted.
Before stitching the side seams,
adjust the lower portions of the robe
for proportion and length. Have
loops for the belt or cord, which
ever you're using, and have these
properly set at the waistline. A
hanger at the back of the neck
simply a loop of the same fabric-is
a necessity, especially if you are
trying to teach the youngsters to
keep their things hung.
Any other decorative touches,
such as monogram, may be added
to the robe after it is sewed. Ere
quently children make, or have in
their possession already, some in
sigma which it might be clever to
attach to the pockets or breast, and
you would be wise to include this on
the robe. It endears the garment to
the child and makes it seem more
brand-new than a make-over.

Tips For Using
Old Blankets

When you're using an old blanket
for bathrobe, place the pattern on
it so that all edges touch the bind
ing. When the button edge, sleeves
and collar are cut this way, the
robe will be partly finished before
you even join the seams. You need
do no facing and when you turn the
hem the blanket edge will be al
ready bound.
It's best to bind the armholes on
fabrics such as this because they
need to take lots Of wear, and in this
way you can prevent straining.
