IrvingtOn: Please give me the
correct pronunciation of the name
Plantagenet. Is the last syllable
met" or ''nay"?-J. R.
Answer: Plantagenet appears to
be French; but it is the surname of
a dynasty of English kings from
1854 to Nl485, Plantagenet was the
nickname of Godfrey, Count OF An
jou, who founded the royal family.
He was given the nickname because
of his custom of wearing a sprig of
the broom plant in his cap Planta-
genet is formed from the Latin
planta, ''sprig, plus genesta.

is: plan-TADGE-uh-net.

If, on the other hand, you have a
coat with boxy look and one that
shows great deal of shoulder in
terest, IFS best to select heavier
pads. The size of the pads in each
shoulder can vary, depending upon
how your shoulders line up with each
other
When the coat is completely fin
ished it's ready for the lining, which
should be of a smooth, closely woven
material that wears well. The lining
may have an extra fold at the back
to give you feeling of roominess.
The sewing on the lining is done
much as that on dress would be.
The important thing is to cut it to
fit and then sew the seams and
slipstitch into place. The coat, nat
urally, is hemmed before the lining
is added, as lining and coat are
separate.
You can save yourself a lot of
time in fitting the lining if the coat
is turned inside out. Also, press the
seams of the lining fiat after you fin
ish sewing it.
Pinning and basting will help you
keep the lining in place while you do
the slipstitching. Try the coat on
after basting to see whether or not
you feel comfortable in it. Move
the arms about to make certain
there is enough roominess.

WOMAN,S WORLD
Full Length Coats Easily Made
Into FashiOn-Wise ShOrties
Gy G,Aa Haley
Ry Grtta Haley

WHEN you can convert old coats
into something fashionable and ex-
ceedingly wearable, it's like finding
bargain that you didn't expect.
Yet, there are very few woolens that
cannot be made fashionwise and
practical.
Take an outmoded full length
spring coat which now looks shabby
and extremely unwearable. This can
be completely re-cut and made into
one of the new coats with full,
rippling back, and full push-up
sleeves, if you desire. Yes, even
the lining, if it will still give wear,
can be used for the new coat.
When you are making something
new out of something old, always
select a pattern that is simple. You
will have to make the old fabric do,
and there is usually not enough to
plan on for lots of extra detail.
However, it is a matter of prac-
tical experiment that a full length
coat, even though it has rather mar
row shoulders and sleeves, can be
made into a new shortie coat with
fashion features such as the full back
and new, wide sleeves.
But how is this done, you ask?
Well, by clever piecing. of course.
You may use a tweed coat, if you
wish, but if you are still somewhat
of an amateur in this business of
sewing, I'd suggest working with a
solid color that is easier to match
in the intricate job of cutting and
fitting together properly.
Preparation of Material
Precedes Cutting
It's no fun working with a dusty
piece Of fabric. Do have it cleaned
first, as this will make it easier
to see just what you have for work.
ing. And another thing, if the old
coat has faded, it's perfectly pos
sible to have the material dyed Ell
ther commercially or at home be-
fore you do any cutting at all.

There are so many types of >shoul-

you will not want too large pads.

Choosing Fabrics

If you've decided you want
gathers in your next dress, here's
the way to select a suitable fab
ric. Gather the material in your
hands, as you would in gathering
it, and see whether it lies in soft
gathers or whether it juts out at
angles.
If you want pleats in. your next
dress, you must look for a fab
ric that has certain crispness
or wiriness, or you will constant
ly have to press in your pleats.
If you can crease the fabric and
have the mark remain readily,
you can be sure the material will
pleat.
When you are making a wool
en- dress, always select a light
weight wool. Heavier woolens are
made only for suits or coats, and
are somewhat difficult to work
with.
If you've decided on ruf1es ga
lore, choose fabric that has
some crispness like organdie,
marquisette, etc. You'll also do
wisely choosing a fabric that has
a permanent finish.
For dresses with straight clas-
sic lines, choose material that
has some body, and one that will
hang straight easily without too
much tugging. Firmness of fab
ric is very important here.
For dresses with draped eff
fects, choose a fabric that has
softness but enough weight, and
not too much stiffness.
For dresses that have a soft
ness, choose fabrics that seem to
mold themselves easily like ray
on, crepe or silk,

with the directions instead of against
them. I can guarantee they will be
soft and pliable to the touch.
If you have a light blue coat that
has faded in spots, dye the whole
thing a navy, which will cover faded
portions. A yellow coat which looks
rather soggy can be dyed with blue
to give you one of the popular
new greens. Brown dyed with red
gives lovely reddish brown, while
an orange dyed with purple gives
a nice rust shade. .....- ST..
After the material has dried, it
should be pressed smooth just as
would any other woolen garment.
Use damp cloth, and not too hot
an iron and keep going over the
damp cloth long enough to dry it
out and make the wool smooth.

Doctors &
Paralysis

TNFA11.,--1LE paralysis has be-
L come more epidemic in the
United States since good sanite-
ton became widespread, the
American Medical Association in
annual convention at Atlantic
City. N. j., was told by DR.. Hart E.
Van Ripper of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis.
He explained the seeming paradox
by saying that probably before sani-
tation became fashionable, there was
a lot of infantile paralysis which may
not have made people sick. But it
was heavy enough so that mothers
who had infantile paralysis without
being apparently sick, transmitted
better immunity to their children.
Rare in '9Os
Until the 1905, polio was scat
tered in the U.S., he declared. Then
came sanitation and after people no
longer had such inherited resistance,
infantile paralysis epidemics began.
Europe has gone through similar
cycle, he said.
The ANA board of trustees re-
ported on plans to give the public
many more doctors by establishment
of new medical schools and expansion
of training facilities in existing coll
leges. The United States now has
10000 physicians in active practice,
10000 of them specialists.
Present training, including medical
school, takes about 10 years and the
nations 86 crowded medical colleges
can graduate little more than 5000
doctors year.
Prestige for Family Doctors
DR.. Harrison H. Shoulders of Nash
vile, Tenn, AMA's retiring president,
stressed the need of restoring the
family doctor to a position of impor-
tance and prestige. More than 85 per-
cent of the diseases for which persons
seek medical advice, he said, can be
diagnosed and treated properly by
the family practitioner There are
adequate numbers of specialists for
the nations needs, he declared. but
not nearly enough family doctors.
DR.. Edward L. Bortz of PhiIadel-
phia, the incoming president, declared
the time was appropriate for inStitu-
ton of a two-day general session for
family doctors during ANA conven-
tions.

The Green Valley

Urakami Valley is dismal, almost
deserted. 1t winds between sharp.

from the center of Nagasaki. Those
ridges saved the town itself, for they
channeled the blast along the valley
