.Dra,U Designs On
Your Party Dress
With W0xCray0n

Remember what fun you had as a
little girl, filling in the pictures in
your coloring book?
Now, using the same wax cray
ons, you can draw designs on your
party dresses, to give them extra
glamor.
Sewing center experts have work
ed out a unique system of crayon
coloring which is bright, permanent
and washable. Here's what to do:
First choose a sheer fabric such
as lawn or organdie. Using any
standard pattern, cut out and make
your party dress. Then carefully
sketch your design on a piece of
wrapping paper, and getting the
placement just right, use carbon
paper to trace the outline onto the
dress. You may choose any design
you lke-flowers, fruit or even
animals.
Then, using non-tarnishable met
allie thread, fashion stitch the out
line of the design on the dree, using
your sewing machine. Now comes
the fun. Using ordinary wax cray
on, carefully fill in the design with
whatever color you like. Sandwich
the crayoned design between two
pieces of brown wrapping paper to
absorb excess wax, and press with
warm iron. The wax melts out
and the color remains. The design

actress to an overnight sensation

Jeffery Hayden, handsome young

a faraway look in her eyes when
she speaks of him, like this:
"Thank God he's not an actor!"
Not that Eva has anything

Asked why she feels 50 strongly

"Well, I guess I feel you can't
have two actors in one family.
There would be too much profes-
sional jealousy, and that doesn't

Then, I suppose feel I'd never
know whether an actor meant il

To TraUeL Alone
Or With Friends
Is $64 Question

That once-forlorn creature, the
solitary bird of passage, today is
the pet pigeon of the travel people.
At the moment everybody is being
urged to head for distant places,
in groups and teams if they must,
but preferably alone.
Perhaps this development stems
from the increasing popularity of
plane travel, for obviously it's far
simpler to schedule solo passen-
ger than, say, jolly party of Is
Or perhaps the makers of timer
aries and the sellers of tickets
figure that those who prefer travel
ing in packs will do it that way
anyway, whereas the lone wolves
need a little encouragement, par
ticularly if they are women.
However, I prefer to believe
that the present emphasis on the
pleasures of small-unit travel
comes from the tourists themselv-
es, rediscovering the hard way
what Thoreau - the philosophical
gentleman who travelled widely in
Concord" told them exactly 100
years ago, to wit:
THE man who goes alone can
start today, but he who travels
with another must wait till the
other is ready"
This can in no way be construed
as an advocacy of separate vaca-
tons for married folk. BY law and
by popular opinion, husband and
wife constitutes single unit, to-
gether with children, if any. The
sage of Walden, and wise travel
ers who have followed him, mere
ly were urging extreme caution in
the selection of companions in
tourism.
The most unhappy couple I've
seen in a long time recently re-
turned from a six-week spin along
the Grand Tour route in the COM
pany of their dearest friends, the
young couple next door with whom
they have every reason to believe
they got along.
Not only were they on the verge
of cutting each other dead after
their enforced intimacy, but they
quite frankly had a wretched time.
Joe and Jane were fun-loving and
gregarious; Harry and Alice were
in deadly earnest about missing
not a single cathedral, museum
and historic sight.
Presumably, Harry and Alice
found Joe and James hangovers as
unpleasant as Joe and Jane found
Harry's eternal picture swapping.
Anyway, next time, they'll 60 it
alone.
Choice of a taveling companion
or companions can be equally un-
happy for unattached females,
however youthful and attractive.
I've never heard a girl, travelling
alone, complain about the perilous
dangers with which she was beset,
but I've heard plenty of others
moan about being stuck with a
chum who turned out to be
moody, disorderly or hypochon-
driac.
And everyone knows that while
a woman travelling alone, can be
an appealing, attractive figure who
can easily achieve hand with her
luggage or advice on anything from
the current exchange to good res
taurants, a flock of female tourists
constitutes nothing more han a
hazard to be avoided at all costs
by any footloose male. Not, of
course, that all single women are
husband-hunting while sightseeing,
The Key West citizen., 1954-07-22

just naturally so sentimental at
heart that they can't bear to think
love scene that moves them 50
deeply isn't for real"
Eva says Jeffery never is jealous
OF her make-believe lovers in tele-
vision or movie work. Says she:
He understands that I'm an ac-
tress when Pm on stage, but that
l couldn't bear to continue the role
in real life"
