Every housewife has the re-
Sponsibility of getting a full re-
turn for the money she spends on
marketing" says Mrs. Frances
Foley Cannon, Director of the
Bureau of Consumers Service &
Research of the City of New
York.
''In many families this is a Sc
rious responsibility because. food
accounts for almost a third Of the
average family income"
Mrs. Cannon, who for q years
has been giving millions Of New
York homemakers marketing adj
vice on a daily radio program,
stresses the importance of recog-
MIXING the quality of foods, then
of preserving that quality once
the food has been purchased.
Otherwise you are wasting
your food dollar" she warns.
You'll save money by learning
to store eggs, meats, dairy prod
iucts, and frozen foods properly in
an efficient electric refrigerator
freezer to preserve the quality

you have paid for" Mrs. Cannon
advises all homemakers.
It's not always necessary to
buy top quality, she says. "You
often can save by buying lower
quality meats and eggs, as there
are many cooking uses for them.
Remember that meats and eggs
of all qualities have the same
nutritive value"
With proper cooking, less ex-
pensive meats and certain cuts
less in demand can become gour-
met dishes. Mrs. Cannon notes
that fine chefs use the less well
known cuts such as chuck, beef
shank, kidney, and tripe for some
Of their most popular dishes.
Storing food correctly is equal
~ important in stretching the
food budget. If a housewife has
one of today's roomy electric re-
frigerator-freezers, she can buy
vegetables and meats in quantity
when prices are down and keep
them fresh for days in the refrie-
orator section or freeze and store
them in the zero-zone freezer sec
ton for months.

On "ravell-y" material use
plain, not pinking shears,
and run a line of stitching
just inside the cut edge to
keep it from fraying too bad
ly. I don't cut notches, just
clip VI inch into seam allow
ance: but If you like notches.
cut them outward. not in
ward. Be sure to mark the
dot for the shoulder seam
line. ! use tailor tacks, which
don't come out when I'm
handling the material.
Run a stay stitch line
around the blouse pieces to
keep them from stretching.
Run another one on the
sleeve. using the longest bas-
ting stitch. just between the
notches. Put the long ends
in loose. so you can pull It
up a little If you need to.
Sew the front and back Of
the blouse together, leaving
the underarm seam open.
Also leave the underarm seam
Of the sleeve open. cts easier
to work on a flat surface
than a curved one.)
Then pin the notches to-
gether and m match the
shoulder seam to the dot.
That leaves the area to be
eased loose.
Work with the sleeves to-
ward you. It's easier to work
so that you can see what
you have to gather-and you
won't be tempted to stretch
the blouse to make it fit.
Put pins ACROSS the
seam line. Work on the front
first because. as a rule, the
back will have q little more
fullness to work in. You
can't afford to move the seam
dot on the sleeve or it won't
hang straight in the finished
garment. ] work mine from
the middle out to the notch
and the dot. spreading the
fullness evenly that way.
Handle the material as
little as possible. Pin first,
carefully. then baste II you
think it's necessary. Then
stitch the seam. working from
front to back II you can, with
the sleeve piece on top.
When you get ready to sew
the underarm seam. Just
sew it all at once. Be sure ia
put a definite angle at the
sleeve bodice seam so you
have o nice underarm shape
on the finished garment.
This Is the way manufac-
turers and commercial de-
signers put in sleeves, and
