the alteration will shorten
the sleeves. So, before you
proceed, check to see II you
can lengthen the sleeves by
letting out the hens.
To narrow the shoulders,
take out sleeves and sleeve
lining; try on jacket; turn
under sleeve seam allowance
at top. and pin to the arm
hole at top and down the
sides so the shoulders will
be the desired width. Mark q
line with pins around top Of
armholeS just next to the
pinned-in sleeve.
This line will be a guide
for marking new armhole
seam and indicates finished
shoulder width. A new arm
hole pattern must be made
now, so do not cut the arm
hole yet. The altered arm
hole must be exactly the
same as the original.
To make armhole pattern,
pin q sheet Of paper fiat to
the back armhole. Cut the
paper along armhole line.
With q pencil, mark shoul-
der and underarm seam
lines and armhole stitching

beyond armhole until sleeve
lies flat. Sleeve armhole may
extend above jacket arm
hole; pin sleeve to armhole,
easing top and sides Of sleeve
to original armhole.
Basic, following jacket
armhole line as guide for
lower part of sleeve armhole.
Try on again before cutting
off excess seam allowance.
Gather top of sleeves and
proceed as you normally
would to set-in a sleeve.
@. When q pattern says to
ease in something, such as
fullness at the underarm
seam Of a long sleeve or on
a set-in sleeve I panic. I
know what they mean by
ease" but all I get Is tucks.
Can you show me how to do
1t properly?-MisS J.B.
A. If a small amount Of
fullness is to be eaSed, as on
q long sleeve at the elbow,
hold the longer side toward
you. Match the ends Of the
seams and notcheS. Then
insert pins at intervals, dis
tributing the fullnesS evenly
(see illuStration). Basic and
then steam out extra fullneSS.
Then machine stitch. II there
Is q great deal of fullness as
on a set-in sleeve, make two
rows Of running stitches
along seam line. Draw up
threads and distribute gathers
evenly. Basic; steam out ex-
cess fullneSS; then stitch.

Our theme. "Democracy's Full
fillment Our Continuing Challen-
&c" is designed to point up not
only what we conceive 10 be the
also our acceptance of the obliga-
ton which is ours TO help this
nation achieve its destiny.
AS one segment of our society.
and a segment that has enjoyed
less than its just due as Amcrl-
can citizens, we must be mindful
of the distance which still
stretches before us the welfare of
the society as a whole and work
for its improvement.
Without rancor. without bitter
ness, without hangover from
the past Of real or fancied mis-
treatments, we will continue to
help call our nation to an ac-
counting with its conscience.
Americans too. we will accept our
responsibilities even while we
speak of our rights.
The convention will be head
quartered at Louisville's Shera-
ton-Seclbach Hotel and over
flow delegates will be housed in

Almost everybody has stage
fright and just about everybody

Mays. who will begin a series
in Conversational Speech We'd
nesday evening. Jan. II, at Cen
trail Branch YMCA, 2230 Wither-
eli st.
A deep breath and correct
breathing are the ways TO over
come stage fright, says Miss
Mays. who has wide experience
as a speech teacher.
Learning how to use your
hands IS another secret of good
speech. she says. Most people
wave or hide their hands. We
must learn control in gestures.
Hands should be- used between
the shoulder and hips while
speaking except when one is
demonstrating height or depth.
The art is in being conscious
OF your hands but unconscious
of gesture 1t can be learned
Because a good joke opens
the door to understanding be-
tween people, she urges that
student add a joke TO his collec-
ton of stories just as he adds
a word to his vocabulary
Introduce a Joke so that it
fits into the conversation. BE
sure you know it well. Too often
a story teller will null the last
line of miss the crux of the
story. As you keep using story
the telling will be easier"
Miss Mays suggests clipping
stories and filing them in envcl-
opcs. After a time a story should
be discarded and new ones added
to the repertoire.
Can you smile when you talk?
Some people need to learn 70
smile. Always take time to smile.
A smile is most magnetice.' she
explains.
AS check on ones speech
ability Miss Mays suggests six
cans of speech" These are: Can
YOU sell yourself ? Can you think
clearly on your feet? Can you
overcome nervousness and stage
fright? Can you use your hands
effectively Can you increase
your vocabulary? Can you tell
a good joke?
