How long the American people permit few dctatorial

wish to achieve. These fabrics also
have excellent draping qualities and
rich, true colors that will set you
off properly.
Very crepey crepes with messy or
pebbly effects also are good for
more formal dress.
All of these materials are to be
avoided, however, if you are looking
for instability. In the case of the
pebbly-woven crepe, for instance,
highly twisted yarns must be used
to get that effect, and you can un-
derstand why this would not stand
washing.
Special Finishes
Give Extra Service
If you are looking for crispness in
material, such as organdie, ask if it
is permanent. Will it last through
washing or dry cleaning?
Some finishes stabilize shrinkage,
and this is important if you are
making a garment that is rather
fitted.
There is no such thing as a
crease-proof finish, but there are
some fabrics which are crease-re-
sistant and this is big help. 1t will
tend to wrinkle less readily, and
most of the time, the wrinkles will
fall out when the fabric is hung up
for a few hours.
Water-repellant finishes are i'm
portant on children's clothing such
as sports jackets, raincoats and
outdoor wear. Some of these are
durable finishes and last through
several Washings or cleanings. 9th
ers can be re-applied by the dry
cleaner.
If you want Watered effect in a
fabric such as MORE, you'll find that
steam or water will destroy it. In
this case, avoid water spotting or
steam pressing.
If you want to be certain of per-
manent MORE finish, ask for acetate
MORE. This will not be destroyed in
pressing or water spotting.
Most fabrics now are made of
fast colors, but it's always wise to
check this either by label or other
wise. If you cannot find out, wash
a small piece of fabric before it is
SeWed to find out definitely.

horse crossed the finish line pam
demonium reigned.

Woman's World
Check for Special Qualities
Before Purchasing Fabrics
by &,tta Haky

livery woman who does any sew
- ing of clothes at home has to
have a lot of information at hand
when she buys fabrics. It's easy to
decide about the color, but it's
somewhat more difficult to Judge
color fastness, serviceability, dura-
bility and finish.
Fortunately many fabrics now are
labeled as to their various charac-
teristics, and that is a valuable
service. It's hard to judge certain
things merely by seeing.
Price is not guide to quality, for
these special attributes which you
look for, are hidden in the construc-
ton, dyeing and finish. Look for the
label first, or ask the salesperson
if you want something specific an
sWered.
Most good textile manufacturers
have testing laboratories which fur
nish the information given you on
labels. These are scientifically
proved facts and you can rely on
them as the manufacturer wants
you to treat the material according
ly for best wear.
Choose Washable Material
To Avoid Dry Cleaning
There are certain garments which
soil easily and which will have to be
laundered frequently. Wouldn't it be
impractical to choose fabric
which is labeled dry clean only" if
you are using the dress constantly
and whose cleaning bills would put
the budget out of killer?
Children's clothing for everyday
use, mems shirts, lingerie and dra-
perry materials preferably should be
washable.

Sometimes you can judge firm

An easily fraying material is apt to
be rather loose, and you will have
to put special finish on the seams

Some Weaves Resist
Selling and Wrinkling
When a fabric is smooth and
glossy, it is less apt to soil Rayon
satin, taffeta and MORE will soil
less than the messy crepes or hubby
weaves. Or, if you are interested in
sporting dresses, select sharkShin in
preference to twill, for example. In
suit fabrics, the regular suiting ma
terial keeps clean better than
tweed.
In dresses, the knitted fabrics
tend to resist both soiling and
wrinkling.
If you are buying knitted fabrics
for underwear check to see if the
garment is run-resistant or run
proof. Run-proof means that the
stitches are locked and cannot run
at all, while run-resistant means
that the garment can run only in
one direction.

Firm Weave Is Sign
Of Good Quality
There's one rule which applies
to the purchase of every fabric
whether it is ready-made or Blythe
yard. No matter what the weave or
what the purpose for the fabric, it
should have a firm weave. Closely
woven fabrics keep their shape bet
ter and give longer wear. They have
less tendency to shrink and pull at
the seams.
Even if the fabric has an open
weave, see that it is firm. If it is
open too much, it's apt to be sleazy
before you get the garment put to-
gether.
Judge the firmness by holding the
material to light. If the yarns are
evenly spaced, this is a good sign.
If you can pull the yarns apart
easily and shift them around, there
will be danger of pulling at the
