Curved Silhouettes

A notable postwar change in fash
ion is in the silhouette, which also is
partially due to the amount of ma
terial designers now have an oppor-
tunity to play with. The silhouette is
curvaceous and emphasizes natural
loneliness. They are gently curved,
1.-the and supple. The features that
are gone are the pinched look, the
nipped in waist and the exagger-
ated bulk.
New woolens are soft and misty
light. They come in the most perfect
jewel-like colors and, handle per-
fectly under expert designers fin
gers.
Plan your new coats to go with
everything you wear and don't let
your coat dominate your personal
ity. Youthful freedom is the keynote
in selection Of your summer coat.
Lowered waistlines are being
stressed with wide belts in some
fashions while TERED skirts stress
them In other modes.
Little tots are attractive in a new
corduroy velvet, a particularly
wearable fabric. It can be worn
round the clock.

Anxious for Happiness
Twill you advise me as to the
wisdom of facing the inevitable
heartaches and wrenches that such
a step involves, and accept my as
surance that really am a balanced
and Well-meaning woman, only anx-
ious for the happiness of us ALL"
My dear Alena, I say in response,
yours is merely a case of getting
the measles rather late in life, and
consequently getting them hard, as
all adults do with nursery diseases.
Whatever you felt for Brook. II
years ago, it was an honest young
sentiment sufficient to carry you
into happy wifehood and mother
hood. There isn't anything more.
Companionship with your husband
as housemates, parents, workers
and sharerS of normal home life
represents all the richness there is,
anywhere. The rest is sham, self
deceit and the indigestion that fol-
lows too heavy doses of fattery.
Paul would amazingly and disap-
pointingly turn into quite an ordi-
nary man after a year or two of
stolen excitement, and you would
have sacrificed everything good in
life to steal him. Take care of this
fever like any other, with plenty of
rest, cooling drinks, good books,
service to everyone about you, and
presently step, recovered, back into
the fortunate and blessed destiny a
too kind Father has allotted to you.

Woman's World
Skirts Require Expert Fitting
To Solve Your Figure Problems
& &,tta HaAx
" A S LONG as I can have skirts

L" A S LONG as can have skirts
"a and blouses, I can manage
my wardrobe very sensibly," one
hears women say. It's true, pro-
vided those skirts you wear are so
fitted as to overcome your indi-
vidual figure problems, and that
means they should look good on
you.
There's little to hide the natural
hipline In most of the skirts-even
in those that have draping-and the
cutoff at the waistline draws atten-
ton to the hips. That's why a skirt
is demanding of the figure, and
must be expertly fitted so as to suit
the wearer perfectly.
If yours is the ideal figure, and by
that mean one that is well proper
toned, especially through the hips,
you may wear skirts that are some
what full. You also may wear the
more tailored type that gives the
pencil-slim-hipped look.
On the other hand, the woman
with the full hipped figure must
choose her skirt with considerable
more care. This type of skirt must
be built on slim lines, but should
never be too tight, as this will only
emphasize the fullness. The waist
line will have to be carefully ad-
justed, and so will the length, and
In many cases you will need the
help of an expert to assist you in the
fitting problem.
Color Is naturally very important
in the choice of skirt, as it must
be both fattering to the wearer as
well as most compatible with her
figure type. If you are concentrat-
ing on skirts, choose colors from
which you will get the most wear,
and those which fit well into your
wardrobe.
Inner Belt Useful
For Firm Waist
There are many ways Of finishing
waistline on the skirt so that it
hangs smoothly. The waist may be
finished with binding, which is
fine il you have a slender waist line
minus bullying. You also may use a
stitched on fabric belt, or what is

II really cannot say. 1t seems to
me that we were excited and
happy, confident and devoted as are
most young folks. We loved our
presents, our wedding, our trip to
Niagara, our new little home We
adored our first baby, and made
even more fuss over our second.

LET me explain. Our parish has
been notable for good work ever
since war began. We have made
name for ourselves among various
groups in town for the way we ham
die clothing and medicine drives,
responded to calls of every sort,
rummage sales, entertainments,
rallies. Leading these, and active in
all, although he is active as a pro-
lessor of belles-lettres in our col
lege, too, has been a man I will
call Paul. He is 40, squarely-built,
energetic, eye-glassed; not the type
you might think, to attract a
woman 10 years younger. For three
years I have been consulting him
on committees, working as his aide,
following success with success un-
der his guidance. He and his wife
have been guests in my home more
than once.
MY Head Whirls'
"Now, suddenly, it is an agony
for us to see each other; we are
engulfed in feeling so strong that
it has absorbed for him and for me
every other feeling. It is so deep
that it keeps my heart beating and
my head whirling in a state of ex-
element hardly bearable. If Paul
and I must meet, we hardly dare
exchange glances. I do not know
myself in this state of affairs and I
am sure he is equally confused.
"It is three weeks now since a
really terrifying talk in his study,
where had gone to return some re-
ports, and yet have not slept or
eaten normally since. I move in a

Brook, my husband, has not the
slightest suspicion of all this, but
even if he knew, and felt a natural
resentment, and even if he sepa-
rated me for while from my chill
dren, I feel that eventually any,
thing actuated by so strong and so
pure a feeling must do good and not

would clear the way.

Livestock Production

Livestock production is a long
range operation. 1t takes three or
four years to raise. a milk cow; two
years from the time a beef COW is
bred until the calf is raised and
fattened to 900 pounds; and it is
about year from the time the sow
is bred until the pig is marketed
at 235 pounds. Raising of pullets
and turkeys takes six months or
more.

Franklin Pushed Advertising

Although the first newspaper ad-
vertising in America appeared in
the Boston Newsletter in 1704, it
was shrewd old Benjamin Franklin
who really convinced his contem-
poraries that newspaper advertis-
ing was a sound business invest
ment. Franklin's newspapers car
ried stable amounts of advertising,
and Poor Richard himself was one
of the most skillful advertising men
of this time.

you want them to look well tailored.
After you have marked the pleats,
fit the skirt and check it carefully.
You also will have to decide where
the placket will be before the job of
laying out the pleats is finished.
After you have fitted the pleats,
turn your attention to the hem.
Turn it to the correct length. This is
also the time to decide how far
down from the waist you want the
pleats stitched as this will make
some difference in the length of the
skirt.
Only after the hem has been
stitched will you, want to press the
pleats. Before they are pressed it is
best to basic them part of the way
down from the waist. Some people
stitch them all the way down, but
this makes it difficult to estimate
the fullness and appearance of the
skirt.
Fabric Determines Width
On Gathered Skirts
Gathered skirts are still very pop
ular, especially with the younger
set, and they are currently being
featured In black with a fetching
trim of eyelet at the skirt to simu-
late a petticoat. These are very
simple to make as they involve only
simple gathering of the material,
an easy-to-make waistband and
hem.
Only very soft fabrics may be
used for gathered skirts, and the
width cannot be determined except
by the fabric which you use. If the
fabric is heavier, the material must
be shaped and cut before gathering
so that it will look best.
Now, as to hens. These may be
marked by someone else, after
measuring from the floor. Or you
can do it yourself with a skirt
marker.
Hens should always be basted
before they are stitched perma-
nently so that you are certain they
hang correctly.
Before turning the hem-espe-
cially on a tailored skirt-fnish the
edge with seam binding. This may
be wide or narrow length as desired
and best suited to your needs. Or, if
you are not using seam binding, use
a stitched turn, or turn the hem
under. Once the edge has been fin
ished the hem can be basted and
pressed in place and then finished.
Press carefully after stitching in
place SO that it is perfectly smooth
and hangs properly.

waistline, is the inner belt which
will keep waistlines firm.
Inside belts are made of a stiff
material which you can purchase
at a notions counter. If this is not
available, you may cut straight
strip Of buckram and fit it with
darts to 60 over the natural waist
line. This may even be boned at
intervals if you want a particular
kind of stiffness with which to help
keep the waistline narrow.
The skirt edge is stitched to the
betting, and then the betting is
turned under SO that it does not
show above the skirt.
Another way of attaching the belt
ing is to turn in the ends of the
inner belt and attach hooks and
eyes close together. The skirt edge
is turned over this belt and it is
held in place by catch stitches so
no stitching shows on the outside.
The beltline should never be fitted
tightly so that flesh bulges over it.
This will only make the wearer look
larger.
