Bell Syndicate.-WNU Feature

THERE was once a wom-
an who felt that her life
L had moved into very drab
and dull grooves.
She had a nice, good husband
who never would make much
money or much of a success.
Through all her loyalty and af-
lection she knew that.
She had nice little girl,
with front teeth missing and
stringy fair hair; she adored this
little girl, with her good school
marks and her eager friendships.
But she realized that her little girl
wasn't exactly exciting.
And she read magazines, this
woman. She saw movies. She knew
of other women to whom constant
excitements and pleasures and lux
uries appeared to come as naturally
as dishwashing and economizing
and the commonplaces of existence
in small American town came to
her.
A sort of gray resignation held
her for most of the time, broken by
occasional wild, secret fits of hate,
despair, longing, envy, bewilder-
ment, resentment. All these emo
tons work like poisons, of course,
not only on the spirit but actually
on the body This woman's eyes lost
their brightness and her complexion
its glow; she tired easily, she got
the blues, she didn't sleep well.
When anyone told her of a good
book or a good picture or a way to
cook onions, she went into a secret
interior rage. That wasn't what she
wantedl She didn't want any more
reflections, articles, pictures about
glamour living; she wanted to live
DANGEROUSLY!
Series of Dissatisfaction
She wouldn't have given up Hor-
ace and little Diana for anything or
anybody in the world. But why
wasn't Horace vice president of
something, and why weren't the
talent scouts bidding for Diana?
Not everyone in Myrtle's position
feels this way, naturally. There are
many women of whom the old say
ing, Housekeeping hearts are hap
piest," actually is true. The pleas
ant events of home and children,
occasional outings, occasional new
clothes, are enough for them. And
they are fortunate women. But
M1,rf1a ,r,ocysf Of
Just how it occurred to her to
dramatic her most undramatic ex-
istence don't know. She thinks it
was a suggestion from an older
women, but the older woman, to
whom she wrote the other day,
doesn't remember making it. Any
way, she took the materials she had
and she made play of them.
Plays Lead Role.
Naturally she took the leading
part in this play. 1t was the play of
a small, mouse-like woman who
dressed herself for her part. She
wore washable cottons for morning
work, and for all other occasions
she wore corduroy velvets. Wher-
ever Myrtle McRae went she wore
brown corduroy velvet, made in her
own very simple pattern. She wore
her brown hair brushed up and
pinned in back and curled in a mat
over her eyes. From looking a drab
40 she came to look her actual IS
and then Is.
She built back porch out of her
kitchen at a cost, then, of $40 and

Keep yourself hooking cool -.

The fabric is another important die
tator of the blouse style.
Do not select a heavy printed
material for frosty-looking blouse,
but choose something with deceptive
simplicity and soft lines for trans
parent materials such as organdie
and the like.
Even this type of blouse may look
tailored, but actually the pattern is
cut rather full, and the fullness con-
trolled with small tucks and gath
ers. If these are kept neatly
pressed, the blouse will look tailored
rather than dressy, and will be well
suited even to business occasions.
Unless you have the time to spare,
study the pattern carefully before
making choice, so that you will
have plenty of time to finish it prop
erly. Some blouses look really SIM
pie but their construction may re-
quire more time than you can safely
give to the project. Do not choose
a blouse with too many details if
your time is extremely limited.
Most of the new fashions are show
ing extensive inserts of lace and en-
broidery work. This will require
careful sewing and cutting, but the
effort will be well worth the time
spent. Such blouses ready-made
cost young fortune, but they can
be made at home, even by the pa
tient beginner.

be used for fine lace insertions, as
the tiny zigzag stitches are practi-
cally invisible and save tedious
stitching and eyestrain.
Tucker attachments may be used
for tiny pin tucks on sheer materials
such as batiste, organdie or lawn.
The tucker gauges the width of the
tuck; while one tuck is being
stitched, the mark of the next tuck
is being made.

Sewing Tips Given
For BlOuses

Sheer materials should have their
thread chosen carefully to make an
easy job of the sewing. The weight
of the thread is important and you
may need expert advice from the
saleswoman. Don't hesitate to let
her help you.
Organdie is easy to sew because
it doesn't crush. However, it will
be even easier to stitch if you place
tissue paper underneath while sew

Crisp White Blouses Help Keep
You Cool in Sultry Weather
by G,tta Haley

WIHEN the first warm days ar
w rive, most of us find ourselves
without anything really delightfully."-
cool to put on, and consequently we
60 on a mad buying spree to try to
beat the heat. How much better It
Is to start now before the swelter-
ing days really catch up with us,
and plan a sensible wardrobe for
the hot days.
One of the best ways Of dealing
with the heat Is to have lightweight
suits and skirts with which to wear
cool organdie or batiste blouses,
made frosty looking with crisp lace
or embroidered organdie. You can
plan to have several of these on
hand so that there will always be
one freshly laundered ready to put
on at moments notice.
Now that organdie and other light
weight materials are back on the
market, it's simple matter to plan
to do your own sewing on them and
have several blouses for the price
of one. Patterns and laces are
available again in great variety,
so there's blouse for every figure
and every purse-if you make your
own.
If you have only one suit which
you want to wear with several
blouses, do select styles Of blouses
that are becoming with the neckline
of the suit. Or, If you have sep
arate skirts with which you want
blouses, then do select blouses styles
that are extremely becoming to you.
Should you run to the heavy figure
type, stay away from organdie and
use material such as batiste or dim
ity that do not make you look quite
so full blown.
Fabric Dictates Style
In Blouse Making
Sheer blouses may have a very
feminine, frothy look or they may
be neatly tailored, depending upon
what wear you want to give them.

FAIRNESS BEGETs FAIRNESS

Recently found in my mail an unusual letter. It was an impress sive letter, for it came from Well-knoWn manufacturer on the subject of labor unions and their leaders. Quitting the personali- ties involved, should like to offer you the letter in full. It is so sane and offers such rich practical sug- gestions for settlement of some of our huge industrial problems that l want to pass it on to readers of this column.
 Dear Sir: Your description of the labor situation in Sweden all most depicts our labor situation of the XYZ) industry in our coun- try. MT. x, the founder of the Union, plus the cooperation of the manufacturers, brought it about. And I dare say this labor leader instilled the spirit of cooperation into the manufacturers by fair play and honest tactics.
 Men of Calibre
 Since the formation of the Union in 1919, no strikes have oc- cured. The instruments installed by him for orderly settlemnets of disputes are no doubt well known to you.

He Started Something

(The Rocky Mountain News)
 PAUL P. HARRIS, who died in Chicago recently at the age of 78, had idea that will keep his memory green for many, many years.
 He was lonely young lawyer in 1905 when it red to him that most of his clients and friends were like himself men who had to Chicago from smaller places and who missed the going comradeshp they had known in their home towns.
 So he persuaded three friends to join him in organz- ing club They called it the Rotary Club, because it's early meetings held in rotation in the offices of the various members where they exchanged ideas talked about their businesses professions sought to promote cooperation, discussed "service' to the community
 The organization grew and spread, became national and international has many thousands of members throughout the world while other clubs pat termed after much the principle have had almost equally surprising success
 The founder of Rotary started something that entities him to enduring fame in world where simple friend ship is such and such an essential commodity

sion. If the leaders of labor are men of right calibre, strikes are almost impossible because employ CTS are invariably reluctant to have their business disrupted and are willing to meet fairness with fairness; hence, my advice is: Urge labor unions to choose wise and business-like leaders; men of high ideals, thoroughly honest.
 "All of this may sound silly, but to prove my point: There existed a XYZ) union before MT. Ks en- try which had no influence and accomplished nothing, and if allow ed to continue would have per- haps brought disaster to the in- dustry like in so many others. "If labor were headed by men who are qualified for leadership, labor troubles would eventually be of minor importance"
 Horse Sense
 So ends this very pointed letter from my manufacturer friend, who obviously is no enemy of labor Actually the reasons so apparent why management should be the friend of labor are almost the same set of reasons why labor should stand solidly for coopera- tion with management. After all
The Nome nugget., 1947-02-10

the two are the main components of industry, labor and manage ment. Their objectives are the same. The object of both is pro- duction. Neither can exist without the other. This bespeaks, with all the logic of plain horse-sense un- derscored by the compulsion of self-interest: cooperation.
 Strikes Are Outmoded
 Orderly settlement of industrial disputes would mean much to the welfare of our nation at this time of crisis when we are reconverting our industry to the ways of peace. Strikes are now too costly, to la bor and to management, and to the public, to have any prominent place in the settlement of industri- al disputes.
 In this enlightened time, when word is almost as swift as thought and facts are so easy of access, surely these two components of in- dustry with so much in common can make use of the council table instead of the strike. With wisdom and fairness and honesty prevail ing this can be done. We have had full demonstration that frequent large strikes are the route to dis aster.

A Stalemate Ended

(The Denver POSt)
 THE LOGICAL REACTION to the American deci- sion give up mediation in China is anticipation rather than surprise.
 Some far-reaching shift in United States policy foregone conclusion following General MarshaS ad- mission of the failure of his peace mission and his sub sequen elevation to head of the state department There had to be cear-cu breaking off with what obviously an untenable staemate between Nationalist and Communist extremists. This latest is the act that sewers the future from the past
 Now the nature of the policy is the question and the being awaited with great interest in Mos COW and London well as Chungking and Yennan. It should not be long in coming if for other than to discourage Soviet Russia from moving into the space which, at this juncture, have indicated going to Vacate.
 This policy certainly will not be return to the historic hands off concept leaving the Chinese ctions to fight it out to finish Every American pronounce ment of foreign policy since the has stressed the realization that the world is ndvisible that single trouble spot spread it's poison quickly throughout the Whoe and therefore that such cancer can be to erated either by the United States the United Nations
 General Marshall dropped hint to the objectives of the policy in his report his mission. Chinas hope, he said lies in a relatively weak and inexperenc ed group of liberals and moderates from both parties who willing to put aside factonal differences for the national welfare. The extremists, he indicated must go there can be no settlement.
 MarshalPs report did not say how he proposed that these liberals should be helped The specific dation-perhaps along economic lines-is likely to be outline of the American policy toward China
