Remode!ing Coat
Mrs. H. 2. c.. Washington


I am interested in remodel
ing a Persian lamb coat. I
have been unable to obtain
brochures on this art" from
either the Government Print
ing ONCE or the Department
of Agriculture. which once
printed such pamphlets. They
advise that they no longer
stock these pamphlets. and
do not contemplate issuing
such in the near future.
Does any reader know Of
any inexpensive book. or a
pamphlet or brochure dealing
with remodeling and working
on fur? I would very much
appreciate information. I am
a capable seamstress and feel
that l would be able to do
this job myself with basic in

Choosing The Site
Don't set up camp in old creek bed, or you are

Politically, Women
Are Spread Too Thin

The American woman "has
been divided into so many
parts and fitted into so many
gadgets she's lucky to be able
to think at, ALL" Mrs. Katie
Louchheim, vice chairman of
the Democratic National
Committee, said yesterday.
The same women try to do
everything, with the result
that "they are spread so thin
the results can be practically
invisible" Mrs. Louchheim
told a Zonta luncheon at the
YWCA.
Her chief point, Mrs.
Louchheim stresses, is "It's
time we got more people into
the act.

great advocate of outdoor ac-
tivities such as camping and
hiking.
On a campaigning trip she
and her husband made with
Adlai Stevenson, she chatted
with the Democratic political
leader. about fir seedlings,
square dancing and the COM
parative merits of swimming
in hot or cold water. Politics
was never mentioned.

Many mistake voting for

on the filibuster floor.

Mrs. Smith sails into the
chamber at 3 am. as clipper
as though she were fresh
from a Maine vacation in
stead of the leather couch
in her senate office.
She's likely to turn up in
a different dress or suit at
each of the three or four
quorum calls between the
hours of midnight and 8 am.
Her wavy gray hair is
neatly combed and a rose
the Smith political trade
mark-inevitably adorns her
left shoulder.
Meantime, her masculine
colleagues show up with tie
less collars, bedroom slippers,
hair askew, faces unshaven.
Occasionally a pajama bot
tom will protrude beneath a
trouser cuff. Nodding heads
and unconcealed yawns at
test to the fatigue of the
males.
Mrs. Smith pretends not to
notice. Like as not, she'll do
a little Office work at her desk

busters will let the majority,

"Maurine became the most
phenomenal vote-getter in
the history of the Oregon
legislature by "blurting out

brought a candor that still
alarms my friends" the Sem

Magazine article entitled,

If Mrs. Neuberger does in

better campaign testament
than the Senator's article.

to saturate the State, with
