^RCH, 1944 THE ECHO PAGE SEVEN Feminine Xews-Views SOCLAUS - FASHIONS - RATIONING, SEWING AND COOKING HINTS BY LUCILLE ROBERTS, Aft The Library I THIS CASUAL TOPPER EASY TO MAKE The Casual topper is a coat of many moods. This easy-tp-make style is in soft all-wool fabric. The color should be chosen to blend with sports and dressy clothes, for it will go with both. To dress it up, a cluster of flowers made of ready-cut felt appliques may be added at the shoulder. The short, roomy coat is fashion news and should be included in every spring wardrobe.

Slim, simple dresses are easier to make. You need less fabric for these dresses, and they are so much more becom ing to your new ration-streamlined figure. Sparkled up with gay, bright home-sewn or hand-cro cheted accessories, they are far more attractive than the elaborate, complicated styles you used to put together. Sewing is a pastime that pays dividends—dividends with just the right color and fabric made up into the most becoming style. Vis ions of a spring wardrobe are prob ably dancing through your head, so make your choice of all the glowing spring, colors — blush pinks, soft greens, violet and in tense purples, tawny gold and tan gerine, If you favor the neutral shades, you will be delighted with brown-and-white and gray-and- white prints, pearl and smoky grays, or creamy and pink beige tones. Selecting a pattern is as much fun as choosing a fabric. The new, slim lines, the simple ruffled and draped details of necklines and skirts, and the smooth styling of the new suits and coats—all these insure the home sewer a success ful wardrobe without any sewing difficulties. You may get some make-over ideas, too, while look ing through the pattern catalogues. An old dress often furnishes enough good material for a new one. Some times two out-of-date dresses will combine to make one new-looking dress styled along modern lines. Or a half yard or so of new fabric will pep up a lifeless outfit. Anything you can learn which will make living more pleasant and economical and yourself more at tractive is worthwhile. So while you are discovering the thrill of home sewing you might look into the other needle arts. Learn how to crochet blouses, hats, bags and trimmings for yourself. Many a dull dress has been revamped with a bit of fresh hand-crocheted neck wear. Knitting offers you a chance to supplement your suits, skirts and weskits with beautiful hand-knit sweaters. It is morale-building to look your best, but this is no time to be extravagant about it. When you ask yourself, “How can I look my best and save money, too?” —re member the savings of a ward robe made at home. And don’t for get to put those savings into War Bonds and Stamps. Your Guide To Daily Living From Washington Bureau WAR GUIDE TO DAILY LIVING Fashion Note—You’re likely to see more prints with gray (un bleached) grounds this spring. White fabrics are going to be less plentiful, because the textile indus try now gets only half as much sodium peroxide that it used to. Just Around The Corner—By the end of this year new mechanical refrigerators and washing ma chines should be on sale in limited quantities. Good News For Homemakers— Eggs, potatoes, oranges, peanut butter, and dried peas and beans should be in good supply this month. There’s plenty of macaroni too, but the supply of cheese to go with it is likely to get no better and may get worse. Nylons—Now and Then—Some of the women who wear black mar ket nylon stockings salve their con sciences with the notion that they are probably pre-war nylons which might as well be worn as not. The fact is that black market nylons are made of yard intended for and illegally diverted from military uses; technical experts have ana lyzed some of them and they should know. Short On Gas—As the pace of the war quickens on all fronts, American civilians will have to get used to getting along with less gasoline. On top of this spring’s enormous military requirements you must add the gasoline which farmers need for spring planting. But even when such seasonal de mands slack off there won’t be much extra gasoline for civilians until the end of the war. There probably won’t be another pleasure driving ban, but in times like these non-essential driving should give little pleasure to the civilian with a conscience.
