The girls, Roberta McCauley,
Is, Marilyn Curray, 16 and Eileen
J~effreys, II, had only $50 left
in cash but retained a large sup
ply Of expensive clothes and cos
June jewelry.
They told police they had spent
$4,000 in their fling and the re-
mainder they cached in a locke
az Grand Central Station. They
4dded that the money had ap-
parently been stolen by three pick
ups who switched a key for a
locker in a bus terminal for the
one in the railroad station.
Roberta, described by DR.. Gov
ner as "a good, quiet girl" told
how the girls started their es-
capade Wednesday night. She said:
"Marilyn and Eileen had come
over to keep me company while
l was baby sitting at the home Of
DR.. Covner. We had been talking
about running away to New York
because the other kids didn't want
to bother with us. On the spot we
decided to run away. But Mari
Ign and Eileen couldn't go home
for clothes so we went to the closet
of Mrs. Covner to take hers. Look

joy and screaming and pulling at
each other. We showed as much
money as we could into all our
pockets and into a suitcase: The
suitcase was SO damned with mon
ey we couldn't lock it so we threw
some away to get it closed"
According to the story the girls
told police, they hitch-hiked a ride
to Boston and then took a. bus to
New York, taking a suite at "a
hotel under false names. They kept
$4,000 with them and intended to

Fashion Notes

crisp fresh look no matter how

hon yards have been sold in 1851.
Figuring approximately 3 yards of
material to one dress, it begins
to appear that American women
like sheers for summer.
One of the reasons tor the vast
popularity of this fabric can be
found in the careful testing and
checking of Bemberg before it is
ever sold to manufacturers to

SUGGESTIONS FOR WASHING
AND IRONING RAYON.
l. Wash the garment quickly
in an ample amount of luke
warm suds.
2. Use a mild soap.
8. Squeeze the suds through.
4. Don't twist, pull or stretch
the garment.
5. Don't SOAK printed fabrics
:. sometimes colors run.
6. Rinse THOROUGHLY.
7. Roll the dress In a bath
towel to take out the water.
D. SNAKE out wrinkles I'M
MEDIATELY, and place dress
WRONG SIDE OUT on an IRON
ing board covered with a Sec
ond bath towel.
8. Take another dry towel
and smooth out all wrinkles,
paying particular attention to
seams, collars and hens. CYou
now have the same uniform
dampness as you do when you
use pressing cloth on woolens.)
10. Now PRESS following
the temperature guide given on

Of Bemberg, you can use the
same heat as used on cottons.)

DYEING RUG.
From Mrs. L. L. c., Cheuerl

From Mrs. L. L. c., CheUerly.J
For Mrs. r. G. c., Fort Belvoir:
tWoman's Day magazine, August
1850. page 119, contains the fol-
lowing infornation on dyeing a
rug:
THE rug was vacuumed to re-
move surface dirt and a heavy
layer of newspapers placed be-
meath it to protect the floor.
Wearing rubber gloves, we ap-
piled brown aniline dye to the rug
(16 small 25-cent packages to
about 8 gallons of boiling water)
sponging it on, both with and
against the nap, while the solu-
ton was still very hot. Several
applications darkened the rug and
toned down the flower border.
making it much less conspicuous.
After the rug had thoroughly
dried, hard sweeping with a
broom raised the nap. The dye
cost 81 and the method can be
recommended for any rug too
faded and shabby to be At for use,
but worth this expenditure"
From my own experience, I've
found light colored rugs show less
Isoil than dark colored.
