From the SEWING Boq

Use double-stitched patches in
children's playclothes because
they are most durable.
The best way of Strengthening
the edge of fabric before laying
it out on the pattern for cutting
is to pull thread along the
crosswise grain and cut or tear.
Turn up the hem on a gar
ment only after the whole gar
nent is finished.
Straps on slips and undergar-
ments can be replaced when
worn. Simply buy extra pairs of
straps at notions departments.
Glove seams which have
ripped are best mended in ac-
cordance with their old stitching.

Lewis is not unusually
L tragic, as stories 60 today,
and yet her letter is very sad
one, and she wants advice. Char
milan was a newspaper woman
rs years ago, when she made a
sensationally good marriage.
Jim Lewis was handsome, pop
ular, rich, devoted. He was
killed in Flanders on November
10, 1918, just a few hours before
the guns fell silent.
Charmian's baby, Marie, was
born that month. Marie now is well
married and living in Mexico. Char
milan could live with them, of
course, but they are childless-no
excuse for her to be useful grand
mother-and they are navy folk. Ev-
eryone knows that the navy is club,
and outsiders always feel themselves
outsiders. And Chairman is comfort
ably rich, so that she may have her
own home nicely kept, and may
make herself useful and busy per-
son-if she will.
Bridge and Gossip.
"a merely social life would be
quite possible, and could be popu-
lar enough; one of those nicely
groomed grazing women who play
bridge" writes Chairman, keep
appointments in beauty parlors, dis
cuss servants, movies, styles. Or
could marry again, but somehow
can't consider either way seriously.
Jim and I had only seven months
together, in all. But they're going to
last me for life.
"I'd like to go back on the old
newspaper. But at "A, rich, we'll

work. You have to need newspaper

Ger, tuberculosis, community chest,
Russian, China, tornado relief. I
buy tickets for everything. But all
this leaves me profoundly unsatis-
fed. i know that if I plunged into
something, even book-binding, Ian
guage study, stamp collecting, I'd
work my way out. But which shall
it be? must be free to visit Mary
every year. Call that two months.
What of the other ten?"
Enter Politics.
Well, CHAIRMAN, I'll answer you
by telling you what I'd do, if I were
a whole generation younger, as you
are, and had the means to do it. I'd
go in for politics-and howl I think
my own one resentment of the en-
croaching years is that I was born
just little too late for it.
If ever the greatest country in the
world needed honest servants, it is
today. If ever we needed level
heads in Washington, it is right
now. If ever the muddles that men
have made of international affairs,
labor problems, juvenile control,
national policies were crying aloud
for the touch of woman's hand
firmly holding a maternal slipper-it
is now. We want leaders, pitifully,
cruelty, desperately. Perhaps you
are one. Perhaps you can help put
good men and women into office. No
soldier at the front ever did his
country a nobler service than you
can, if you will.
The plunge into politics, for
woman, is apt to be trifle grimy.
The practical start is to watch the
papers for announcement of a po-
litical meeting or rally, and attend
it. If delegates to some larger meet
ing are solicited, and they usually
are, volunteer for that service. Get
onto committee, or head a delega-
ton, and learn how simple the bust
ness of state management is, and
begin to pull your weight as privi-

Old Powder Puffs

When powder puffs become real
ly old and frayed, they can still be
useful after being washed. Use an
old puff, instead of a cloth, to
polish silver. For fitting dress or
measuring a hem, attach one on
your wrist with rubber band and
use as a pin cushion.

one. If, for example, you have
yellow Stacks, and want green, use
blue, etc. You might consider add
ing a new belt for that touch of
something new.
The pedal pushers which I spoke
about may be used not only for BIZ
cycling but for a score of other ac-
Invites. You'll find them handy on
a picnic, on the beach, or even
gardening. In fact, you might find
that the new shorter length gives
you more freedom than full length
pants.
Feather or cross stitching in a
contrasting thread might be a very
effective decorative motif for pock-
cts. recently saw a pair of pow
der blue denim, feather-stitched
about the pockets in a bright red,
and they were very attractive.
Use Pattern in Cutting
Stacks to Size
If you yourself have outgrown the
Stacks and cannot use them, convert
them into something useful for the
youngsters. Mothers Stacks offer
good material for daughters Stacks
or pedal pushers, but they should be
cut down carefully, preferably with
pattern, or perhaps fitted to the
girl, so they really belong to her.
In fact, if daughter is sensitive
about wearing make-overs, you'd
better change the color by dyeing,

Woman,s World
Don't Discard Prayed Stacks;
Methods of Remodeling Listed
by &,tta Haley

HAVE a number of pairs of
old Stacks which can't be worn
as they are, and I don't know just
what to do with them," says read
er. Gam I foolish to expect more
wear from them?"
No one is ever foolish to expect
wear from good material as long
as they are willing to spend some
time in neat remodeling work. In
fact, it's silly to waste good ma
terial just because you are too lazy
to put few stitches into it that
would make it wearable.
There are many ways to remodel
old Stacks, and I'll tell you about
several very practical ones in this
column. With the facilities we now
have for changing styles and colors
with minimum of fuss, it's surpris-
ing to me that any piece of cloth
is discarded.
If you want to remodel the Stacks
for yourself and find that the cuffs
particularly are frayed, or perhaps
the pockets, then I would suggest
that you cut the long legs down to
pedal pusher length, that is, just
below the knee, and plan to make a
cuff such as now is being worn.
Pockets which are worn or frayed
may be changed easily. You might
consider replacing them with brand
new pockets out of some Of the sal
vaged material from the legs, or
using a contrasting colored materi-
al.
Still another thought for taking
care of frayed pockets is to bind
the frayed edges with a bright col
ored tape that goes well with the
material you are using. Bindings
of all types are back on the market
and so they should be easily avail
able to you if you don't want to
take the trouble of making some
yourself.
Faded Materials May
Require Retouching
If your Stacks have faded badly,
tint or dye them back to the original
color, or even a darker shade. This
is not a time consuming technique,
and it pays big dividends.
If you plan on dyeing the Stacks
different color, bear in mind the
original color when selecting a new

modelling of Stacks for the teen-aged
girl. Whereas a casual or even
rather sloppy effect frequently is
ssnployed by women who wear
Stacks, snap and style are the most
important requisites for the girl who
has a good figure.
In any remodeling job, it's wise
to use frequent fitting to achieve the
proper effect. A nip here, tuck
there and minor adjustments will
do much toward making the gar
ment a success.

Make TOddlers Overalls
From Old Material

From Old Material
Mothers with younger children,
especially of fodder age, all COM
plain they have a hard time keep
ing the youngsters in clothes.
If this is your problem, then you
will want to convert all available
slack material into garments for
them. You may use not only your
own Stacks, but those of your hus-
band for children's play clothing, as
the material is very durable and
will give them good wear before they
outgrow it.
We no longer like to clothe the
fodder in sombre colors ito save
washing" but prefer bright blue,
red, green and even yellow for them.
If the Stacks don't meet color speci-
fications, then dye them before
making something for the children.
You'll enjoy working with these jew
el-like shades and will really ap-
preciate the way the youngsters
look in them.
Just short time ago I spoke of
the laundering problem with those
of the fodder class. If you are con-
verting Stacks for their use, I'd sug-
gest you use only those fabrics
which are washable. A fabric which
has to be dry cleaned will give
you more work and expense, and
it's not wise choice for those who
are apt to be crawling around on
their knees most of the time.
Overalls for toddlers which now
are being worn by both girls and
boys should be made roomy but not
too large or they lose their attrac-
tiveness. Select styles that are easy
to put on as the youngsters are I'M
doubleday of an age where they
are learning how to dress them
selves. Clothing should be made
with large buttons or snaps that
they themselves can operate without
help from the mother.

Flood Menace Mounts
In New Orleans Area
In Wake Of Hurricane


NEW ORLEANS. Sent 2o-po,;ce
supp. a. A. Waters reported to-
night that there were increasingly
serious flood conditions in the east
ern edge Of New Orleans as the
result of yesterdays hurricane.
he sent a hurried summons for
additional civilian volunteers to
help plug up breaks in a combineo
railroad right-of-way and leyee in
the area of Florida avenue and the
industrial canal.
Earlier. 1000 volunteers had been
asked.
In another area to the east, High
ways II and 90, the only roads en-
tering New Orleans from that d.
rection, were still under water. Sew
eral motor boats were sent to rescue
persons on stranded buses and
automobiles, and from flooded
homes and buildings.

by airlines serving New Orleans
was closed because of water on the
runways. Some flights were landing
at an emergency field.
Some Waters Recede,
In Metairie. residential suburb
Immediately west of the city limits
waters began to recede into the lake
up to a record depth.
The chief problem appeared to
consist OF waiting for the water to
go down, except in the section lust
east OF the industrial canal which
connects the Mississippi River with
Lake Pontchartrain.
There, water poured through a
housing project and adjacent areas
after a railroad embankment serv-
ing as levee had broken. The
waters had been piled up from Lake
Borgne into Bayou Bienvenue. which
pushed out of its banks. Sand bags
were rushed on fiat cars to the
scene, to plug the gaps.
Soldiers Work on Levees.
Soldiers from the New Orleans
Port OF Embarkation, prisoners from
the mouse of detention, sailors from
naval repair base, and civilian
volunteers were working on the
levees.
None OF the foodwaters here came
from the Mississippi River, which is
at a very low stage.
The port of New Orleans suffered
comparatively minor damage. Prin-
cipal loss along the % miles of docks
was the destruction of a wharf
owned by the Southern Pacific
