the center of the Upper lies exactly
over the seam line, with the slider
down. Pin fastener in place easing
fabric slightly and using the pins
crosswise.
Basic fastener in place, using
large catch stitches, and keeping
straight and neat. Remove pins
and turn over the skirt.
Make a pocket at the top of the
placket to conceal the upper by
basting " inch below the top of
the fastener and IA inch from the
seam line and make the shaped end
Is of an inch wide across the top.
Pivot needles at the corners when
stitching in the Upper.
All sewing authorities tell us that
it is much easier to insert the zip
per when it is closed. If there is
enough material at the opening for
this fastener, it may be folded and
stitched as above to conceal the Zip
per. If there is not enough ma
terial at the seam to do this, an
extra piece will have to be stitched
in before putting in the upper to
conceal it.
Do not remove the stitching on
the upper or the until the
work is completed.
Too much can never be said on
the Importance of having hens
properly sewed. But before this can
be done, e that you have selected
the proper length for your skirt.
Have someone else pin it up for
you if possible, or use one of the
hem markers if you must do your
own.
Use a binding at the hem so that
it can be stitched properly without
being too bulky.
Laurel outlook., 1947-02-26

Patterns show ~perforations where
the pleats fold, and when cutting the
skirt these should be marked heav-
lily with chalk. Fold the pleats on
the line of the white chalk marks,
using straight and even lines. Pin
and basic carefully, working On a
fiat surface so that you can pleat
the skirt all the way. 1t should be
basted carefully and then pressed
after you are certain the pleats
are even and correct.
In basting pleats it is best to haste
the center pleat first, then the ones
to either side. If the skirt is pleat-
ed all over in front, the pleats will
overlap considerably at the waist
line. In all cases of pleating, keep
the lengthwise grain of the fabric
as correct IS possible; otherwise,
the skirt will appear lopsided and
will be difficult to wear.
Careful tailoring is required in
making pleats, but it is possible
for yer a beginner to do this cor
rectly, provided she measures care
fully and works correctly. Use pat
tern directions and tape measure
discreetly.
Stitching is very important if the
finished skirt is to look nice, but
with good basting stitches to guide
you, there should be no difficulty in
this respect.
Laurel outlook., 1947-02-26
Make 1T Wear!

Careful finishing on a garment
means longer wear, whether you
r buying a garment or making
it yourself. Check the following
points to e whether garment
is well finished:
l.. Stitching on buttonholes
should be firm with no sign of
fraying. See that buttons are
sewed firmly but not tight.
2. Check to see if all packets
are neatly finished, trim and not
bulky.
8. Examine stitching to see
that it is even and neat, and that
all seams are held together.
The thread should match the fab
ric so well that you cannot tell
too much of a difference between
them.
4. All seams should be at least
one-half inch deep. Pinked
seams are used for firm weaves
otherwise fabric will fray. Bound
seams are best for loosely WOW
en- fabrics. French seams are
best for lightweight fabrics while
a double stitched seam prevents
fraying in a heavier type of fab
ric.
S. Hemline should be straight
and of a length becoming to the
wearer. 1t should be of the same
depth all the way around, finished
with seam binding or turning I'm
der.

Making Soap

Mild soap may be made from
only three ingredients, fat, water
and I've. If hard fat, such as beef or
mutton, is used, the proportion is six
pounds of fat, six cups of water,
and n can of I've. If a soft fat
such as lard or bacon fat is used,
use the same amounts of fat and
I've, but reduce the water to four
cups. The soap may be made
stronger by adding n and one-half
tablespoons of borax and one-haf
cup of ammonia.

Womon's World
Some Extra Skirts Will Make
A Small Wardrobe Seem Larger
Ry C,Aa Haley

THOSE of US who have small
clothing budgets are constantly
looking for ways to make them ap-
pear larger without adding too
much extra expense to u allot-
ment. One big help to such a ward
robe is an extra skirt or two, one
for sports or casual wear and an
other for dresS-up occasions.
Fortunately, these skirts can be
added to the wardrobe if you are
handy with a needle and happen to
have a coat that is no longer fash
ionable. Perhaps you have a tweed
sports coat that is showing too much
wear. This can be ripped apart,
and the inside of the material which
is still bright and new looking-if
it has been protected by a lining
can be fashioned into an attractive
skirt.
Soft wool spring or fall coats or
evening wraps might still be good,
although out of date, and they can
offer their material for the dressy
skirt.
JO0 VIC 0OiiC any oillOQllI VI oCW-
ing, you know that making a skirt
is really a simple matter, much cas-
Ter than a blouse or even a dress.
Tailoring and fit are very impor.
tant, however, and every care
should be taken to make the most of
the fabric you are using.
If you are using an old coat for
the skirt, rip apart all of the seams,
since the skirt must be recut en-
Use a pattern that gives
you attractive lines, and make sure
you have plenty of material for
the skirt you wish to make.
Pleating a Skirt
Requires Care
If you have chosen to make a
skirt, work on a fiat surface
and have your basting thread and
needles handy, as you will need all
helps.

Detergents Clean Well

Fashion Notes

Black is the smart thing to wear
when you go to the city. 1t always
looks neat and smart, and pearl &C
~cessories show off well with it.
There's much pocket interest in
the new suits. Some of them have
broad flaps, others are deeply
curved. There's interesting stitches
on some of them too-all of which
adds a simple and elegant decora-
tive note to the costume.

Necklines have taken to trim
ming. You'll be in style if you have
them trimmed with pearls or Sc
gums, and your bodices show en-
broidered flowers-or elephants.
Long forgotten luxurious notes
are added to many garments, with
raglan sleeves, dropped shoulder
lines, and furs. Skirts are Slightly

Uncle Sam SAYS

Whenever 1 hear one of my neph-
ews say he has bought United States
Savings Bonds, 1 feel like nudging
him and saying: Nephew, you
haven't really bought anything. That
may sound strange at first, but the
proof is simple. Ordinarily when
you buy something you have to
spend your money. What you have
actually done in acquiring savings
bonds is to exchange n~On-interest
bearing notes for interest bearing
ones. You have merely converted
your money into a different form, a
form in which it will start growing
in amount. In savings bonds form
your money earns 81 for every So
invested in ten years.

KANSAS AVOIDS YNCHING

Paola, Kansas-The state of Kansas was enabled to avoid the blemish of lynching the other day through the quick thinking and action.
 The whole incident began in the town of Osawatomie, the place that was made famous by John Brown in the pre-civil war days. It was there that he had launched his bloody campaign against slavery.
 George Miller, a section hand, WIS invloved in some kind of al- tercation with the Police Chief of Osawatomie and the latter was killed. Just what the na- ture of the altercation was is still a mystery.
 Miller filed after the shooting to a loft in a garage, whre 200 armed civilians trapped him. Because he was known to be armed the mob had not as yet made its decision to storm the garage when County Sheriff Jim Eng1e and his deputies arrived. They drove Miller from his hid ing place with pistol and shot gun fire. He was taken to Pa ola, where he is being held for the filing of the muder charges.
