Readers Demand Repeat
On Set-ln Sleeves

Because of the enormous
number of requests I have
received, I am again writing
on setting in sleeves. This
is a simple method and I
think it will make your job
easier and more professional
looking.
First, a few warnings. a.
basting is absolutely neces-
sary-no ifs, ands or butts:
b. a press mitt or tailor's
ham will make it much cas-
Ter to press a rounded shoul-
der; c. never trim cap of
sleeve. 1t is always larger
than the armhole so that
the cap will fit easily over
the shoulder. Extra fullness
is necessary for good fit and
comfort and the extra full
ness is later taken out.
Make two rows of baSting
stitches, by machine or
hand. around the cap, be-
tween the notches, with one
row about one-sixteenth inch
within seam allowance and
the second row one eighth
inch from the first Gig. -.
Pull underneath basting
threads and gather cap just
a little. Pin sleeve to arm
hole, holding inside of sleeve
toward you, and matching
notches, shoulder seams and
underarm seams. Place pins
as illustrated in figure 2. Ad-
just gathers from notch to
"a inch of shoulder seam,
on front and back Gig. o.
When sleeve fits perfectly,
haste sleeve to armhole. Re-
move pins and try garment
on to check shoulder fit.
Then. using steam iron.

WHAT AMERICA THINKS
NVieWers Divided
On Program QuoIity

NEW YORK, Mar. 1.-THE
American public is divided
sharply on the question of
whether network television
programing is getting better or
worse, this weeks What Amer
lea Thinks" poll indicates. A
plurality says that it is i'm
proving.
A cross-Section of the public
was asked: do you think the
current network programing is
getting better or worse?"
The answers, in percentages:
Better ------------- 44.5
worse NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 34.6
Don't or seldom watch SIS
Some better, some worse "A
No opinion -------- 90
Not all of those who said
the shows were improving were
satisfied. "Programing is bet
ter and the actors and actresses
are good, but not enough time
and thought is given to their
material" said a soldier sta
toned in Southern California.
THE networks are giving us
more comedy, but there are
still too many westerns and
too much shooting" said the
wife of a Missouri salesman.
Except for the awful cowboys
and Indians and the detective
programs. we are getting bet
ter and more educational
shows" said the wife of a Long
Island service station at
tendant.
Here are more explanations
given by those who said pro-
grams are better:
"Kenedy's news conferences
nave greatly improved tele-
