Early Vacations Are Fun If You
Have The Right Clothes, Here’s How
The “two weeks in August”
vacation of prewar years is part
of the misty past and the bright
future. Today’s working girl takes
her week or two of well-earned
rest whenever and wherever she
can. It depends on so many things
—when she can be spared from
the job she’s doing, the where
abouts of her favorite serviceman,
the demands of her down-to-the-
bone budget. But she has learned
to be flexible about her fun, and
if it’s an early vacation this year,
she’s ready for it.
She’s ready, if she’s the smart
girl we think she is, because she
has planned ahead and made many
of the dazzle clothes she will wear.
Her vacation wardrobe includes
several of the smart, new sun
dresses—T those bare top beauties
which are so comfortable, so flat
tering and so easy to make. In
splashy cotton print or plaid, they
are casual — in pastel rayon or
sheer wool, they are exciting af
ternoon and evening styles. A
cape, tied-on bolero or jacket in
a matching or contrasting color
turns the bare top into a double
duty costume.
It goes without saying that a
becoming suit is the backbone of
any vacation wardrobe. Tailored
and trim, or softly feminine, it’s
tops for travel and cool days. It
is dressed up or down to fit the
mood and occasion. Many a dollar
can be saved on accessories by a
set of willing fingers that can sew,
knit or crochet. The girl who pre
pares by making frilly collars
and blouses, tailored dickeys and
sweaters, practically eliminates
wardrobe worries.
A word about the wise vacation
er who spends her vacation in her
own back yard. She can have a
full measure of fun if she plans
her days wisely. She should have
a pair of sturdy overalls or slacks,
with eye appeal, of course—some
snappy sunsuits, perhaps with a
Mexican accent—and a couple of
smooth date dresses with the new
side draped effect and cool-as-a-
cucumber cap sleeves. These should
take care of such activities as gar
dening, bicycling, tennis, reading
and lounging, dining and dancing.
“When you asked her to dance
did she accept quickly?”
“Sure, she was on my feet in
an instant.”
Your Guide To
Daily Living
From WasUngtoii Bnreaa
CHEESE—^There will be more
cheese for civilians in May and
June than any time since last
July. The government set-aside is
being increased only moderately.
MEAT — There will be more
meats in the butcher shops in the
next few months. Orders for war
uses have been cut. But housewives
are warned not to expect the com
parative abundance to last. The
new cut in point values is tem
porary.
CANNED VEGETABLES — .0.
P. A.’s point value reductions,
making many vegetables point
free, are a bargain sale to clear
storage for the new pack. Supplies
will be plentiful, but not for long.
KITCHEN FATS — Despite the
recent change in rationing, house
wives will continue to be paid 1^0
red points and four cents for each
pound of kitchen fat turned in*.
FUEL OIL—0. P. A. said fuel
rations for the 1944-45 heat^g
season will be the same generally
as in the 1943-44 season. If sup
plies increase, 0. P. A. said, ra
tions will be increased by raising
the unit value of consumers’ cou
pons.
TYPEWRITERS — Rationing
restrictions were removed on new
and used typewriters in the hands
of dealers. Restrictions on sale of
these newly produced machines
continue in force.
CELLOPHANE FOR CANS —
Evaporated milk cans, after the
war, may join the parade ‘ of
“wrapped in cellophane” products.
The can will wear special cello
phane “caps” designed to prptect
the milk for babies by insuring
a sterile condition when opened.
COFFEE CAKE—The Navy is
testing a new kind of “coffee cake”
that isn’t a cake at all. It’s just real
coffee, freshly roasted and com
pressed into a square the sii» of
a yeast cake. One “cake” will make
two cups of coffee.
