Quarry Stone as Fathers
Did to Build New Parish
r
DECORAH, IOWA. ? "In the
faith at their fathers," as the De
corah Journal expressea it, men of
Washington Prairie church are
quarrying limestone for their $30,000
parish house. And too, they will be
the masons who lay each stone in
place.
The Rev. OBcar E. Engbretson
said two-thirds of the men engaged
in the work are grandsons of men
who did the same job to build the
church nearly a century ago.
They are taking turns working on
the quarry crew and in the construc
tion work. Every man in the church
expects to do his share. Two hun
dred tons of stone are needed.
The beautiful, high-quality lime
stone is being taken from a hilltop
quarry belonging to Oscar Bruvold
northeast of Decorah. No dynamite
is used, lest it shatter the rock. The
whole job is hand work, just as the
grandfathers did it. Bruvold Is do
nating the rock. The men are donat
ing their work.
The men in the first week of their
work quarried about a third of the
needed stone, Pastor Engebretson
said.
The parish house, designed by one
of the country's leading church ar
chitects, is expected to make Wash
ington Prairie church one of the na
tion's most completely equipped
country churches.
It will match the beautiful high
spired native limestone church.
Stone for this church was quarried
by the pioneer members.
This church became the home par
ish of the Rev. V. Koren, pioneer
missionary, who founded many Nor
wegian Lutheran churches. He first
held services at Washington Prairie
in 1853.

More Hostesses Needed
The nation's airlines will need
stewardesses by the thousands in
the next decade to staff domestic

Expansion of service, introduction of

to the need for three times as many

Recipe for a New Spring Suit:
First, Take a Dated Formal?
ktf ?rtta
'"pHERE Is no such thing as the
1 young teen-ager who has all the
clothes she wants. When some new
gadget, trinket or tad takes the
school by storm, girls (recently
feel out of the swing of things if
they can't have them. On the other
hand, clothes budgets for the high
school girl are frequently limited,
and it's impossible to buy every
thing.
In cases like this, the girls who
can sew, or whose mothers are
handy with the needle are truly born
under a lucky star. There are al
ways dresses in the wardrobe that
are dated, rather than worn, but
with skillful recutting and sewing
they can be transformed into new
and lovely things. *
One of the items in a young girl's
wardrobe which easily acquires a
dated look, but does not lose its
value as a good piece of material,
is a formal Form els are worn a
tew times, and then they lose their
usefulness as such. But what a
wealth of good material for sewing 1
Not only one but several articles
can be made from dated formats.
The bodice can be recut and sewed
as the top of a suit, and the skirt
especially if it is full, offers ample
material for the skirt of a suit, and
even an extra- blouse or skirt.
A discarded formal ...
Striped eSects are popular this
season tor both boleros and Jackets.
The formal with a striped top can
easily be utilized for this providing
It is ripped apart completely and
every scrap of material given thor
ough use.
If the skirt of the formal is striped
rather than the top, then it can be
used for the jacket or. bolero, with

tcrlal. The bodice of the formal,
in this case would not offer enough
material for the skirt, but the pur
chase of extra, matching material
would be a worthwhile investment if
a complete suit is the result.
If you do not want to use the re
mainder of the striped skirt materi
al in another skirt or blouse, it
will make beautiful accessories such
as a hat or gloves. The accesso
ries will then pick up. their cue
from the costume itself and add a
smart, finishing touch to the outfit.
Should you be making a bolero as
topping for the skirt, then try the
rounded shoulder effect. Pads can
be purchased or made from muslin
in a large enough size to give the
desired rounded effect. They should
be fitted carefully to the wearer.
For making the pads, you will find
that featherbone in two or three ply
makes an ideal support for these
pads. They are easy to stitch to
position with a long machine stitch.
Making a Circular Skirt
For the Suit
The main thing to remember In
making a circular skirt is to let the
garment hang on a garment hanger
overnight. This is done to let the
fabric sag?if it will?and let you
make adjustments before you really
turn the hem and stitch it. This
may be done after the garment is on
its way toward finishing. When you
are ready to sew the hem, take the
garment off the hanger and try it
on with the shoes you plan to wear.
The hem is then marked with a
skirt-marker Just as you would for
any other type of skirt. Now the
dress is removed. Lay the skirt on
the table, folded at center-front
and center-back lines and measure
evenly all the way across the skirt.
Mark with chalk for length. Trim
a little off at the sides because of
the sagging bias seams and then
measure the depth you want them
finished in. A circular skirt re
quires a narrower hem than does a
lengthwise skirt Turn the raw
edge under a generous one-half inch
and clean-stitch it Use a long stitch
to draw up the fullness of the hem
with a bobbin thread. When the hem
is basted and the lower edge
pressed, try the skirt an again for
fit. Then slip-stitch the hem into
position, doing this with the skirt
spread out on a table so the hem
will lie perfectly in position. Long
slip stitches are best?and be care
ful so that they do not show through.
Sewing for Youngstert
You'll find these tips worthwhile
when sewing (or youngsters Just
past the bib and tucker stage:
1. Choosing materials for chil
dren should center on the follow
ing points: washability, wearabil
ity, ease of making, warmth or
protection, and attractiveness.
2. The length of skirts, trousers
and sleeves are important Chil
dren's clothing should look smart

3. Good buttons and fasteners,
good binding or trimming mate
rial such as ric rac are essen
tial if the child is to get in and
out of his clothing easily, and
make the clothing easy to laun
der.
4. Little folks like good fitting
clothes. Making up a muslin pat
tern takes little time and saves
ripping and tedious pinning that
make youngsters fidgety.
5. Make sewing easy for your
self by doing all the cutting at
one time. Then the sewing can
all be done et a sitting. You can
concentrate better when your
work is well organized.

Spring Fashion Notes
Bolero* are going to be more im
portant than ever. jand so are belt*,
wide ones, slim one* and colorful
belts. Peplums are in to stay, too.
Skirt* are longer for street wear,
shorter for dancing, these ideas tak
ing their cue from ballet styles.
Speaking of ballet, you will notice
that bathing and beach apparel have
been much influenced by this clas
sic form of the dance, too.
Tunic suits are being icen more
and more frequently in this trend
at longer jackets.
It you have a large build, wear
garments with broken lines to
make you look smaller.
It you're young and long for co
quettish accessories, select a plaid
taileta bag and hat. Drawstring
bags that swing freely are high in
favor.
