lments Withstand homo laundsr-
|ingfs This question u frequent
ly asked state extension clothing
specialists. Their answer begins
with an analysis Of fibers used
in permanently pleated skirts.
Wool or cotton Natural fibers)
are combined with synthsti
(manmade fibers) for pleatipg.
Good laundering results have
been reported in the case Of f;b-
RIGS containing about so per cent
|man-made fibers. Hot water and
mild soap or detergent will not
harm pleats or fabric, and they
may be Numbered by hand or
machine. When an automatic
washer is used, the skirt should
be used before the spin dry
cycle.Finger-press the pleats ia
to place and hang the skirt up
to air dry. A mild breeze aids
in the removal of wrinkles. Do
not wiring dry but allow to drip
dray. Keep the manufacturers
fabric care tag so that you may
refer to it.

It was a lovely party that
Lucy and Jimmie Hammond had
Saturday evening for Evelyn
and Pat Humphreys, visitors
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Short.
from way down in Texas. From
eight-thirty on friends came.
some staying, some going on
after a short visit. A lovely
table, full Of delicious things
to eat was the center Of attrac-
tiOn and where guests were
wont to linger, picking up what
appealed to them to eat and
visiting with others with the
same intent. This gathering at
forded the hOnored persons a
chance to see many of their
friends before their departure
for their home in Wicheta
Falls.
A dinner was given last Sun
day by Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie C.
Greenly at their home in Mil
ford Neck, with Mr.. and Mrs.
William Eisenbrey as the
guests OF honor. The honor
ed couple recently returned
from Germany, where Mr..
Eisenbrey completed a tour
Of duty with the U. S. Armed
Forces. Present for the dinner
and the happy hours that fol-
lowed were: Mr.. and Mrs. Cliff
ton Eisenbrey, and son Wayne:
Mr.. and Mrs. Leonard Green
ly, Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Hall.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gilbert Emory,
Mr.. and Mrs. William Emsley.
Mr.. Everett Hall and Miss
Doris Greenly.
DR.. Oliver V. James came to
his final day on Tuesday. His
death has been a sad one for
men and women in all walks of
life. His illness was brief and
gave little time for the serious
ness Of it to be generally
known. Few men coming to
Milford in their mature years,
have put down deeper roots in
almost every phase of commun-
ity life as did DR.. James. Very
soon he became a doctor whose
professional care was impor-
tant to people and his wise
counsel was sought by many.
A true believer, he brought
his Christian principles into
every sick room. This endur-
ed throughout his life, as he
lived it here among his friends.
Doctors and nurses bowed their
heads in tribute to an associ-
ate, who understood their
problems and who shared
their pleasures. Sympathy, in
full measure, is poured out to
the three who loved him best
and as hnis is written to a full
and good life, the Illuminated
pages Of it will provide a fine
pattern for all.
Always,
