STRICTLY FOR
US WOMEN
WHY NOT THE OLD AS WELL
AS THE NEW?
In these days of high prices it’s
good business to make over and
make do. A little ingenuity can
make last spring’s wardrobe into
an attractive one for this year.
First pick out the items that do
not need remodeling. Be sure the
hemline is right (a bit longer),
that all buttons are on, all snaps
in place, and that the garment is
clean and pressed.
Now to the ones which “won’t
do.” In making over a garment
three things must first be consid
ered: (1) style—consider the gar
ment in relation to current fashion.
Study the styles of today in pat
tern catalogs, fashion books, and
shop windows and you may get a
new idea which can be adopted.
(2) fit—a complete refitting may
restore a garment to usefulness.
(3) condition of fabric—naturally
it will not pay you to remodel un
less the fabric promises to give ad
ditional wear. If you decide it
won’t pay to remodel, cut out
whatever material is good and save
it for future use in remodeling
some other garment.
Sometimes even such minor
adjustments as adding new collars,
cuffs, dickies, or belts and acces
sories are enough to give new spar
kle to old garments.
But—we all must have some
thing new occasionally and one
look at Vogue, Mademoiselle,
Charm, (in the library) shows us
that there’s plenty to get excited
about—styles galore.
However—one thing impresses
us as being a little unusual this
season—most any style is accept
able. Dresses are getting longer
tut you aren’t out of place in a
shorter one. Coats may be long,
medium or short. Very full skirts
—very narrow skirts—large hats—
small hats—toed shoes—toeless
shoes—^wide belts—narrow belts.
Practically anything you like you
may have this season—and be in
style.
Biscuits are delicious when
baked in muffin tins with a short
strip of bacon in the bottom of
each cup. Add a bit of extra milk
and “drop” the dough instead of
rolling. Super!
It’s easier and quicker to wash
rice in a sieve rather than a pan.
Just turn on the faucet and rinse.
Dried beans and macaroni may al
so be washed this way.
Hamburgers are different but
good when broiled on half a bun
which has first been spread with
butter and catsup. Be liberal with
onions, mustard, and catsup in the
hamburger mixture which should
be spread entirely over the half
bun. Broil about 15 minutes. We
guarantee no leftovers.
