Teen-Agers Make Smart Clothes For Themselves From 'Castoffs' i By CHERIE NICHOLAS T OCAL sewing centers report that ?L/ enthusiasm is running high among the bobby sox group who are being taught to make their own pret ty clothes, in classes conducted especially for them. Stitching up frocks and blouses, skirts and cun ning aprons and even making sim ple suits are assignments that teen agers are mastering with ease. These ambitious young moderns get their hands on the family sewing machine or rent one, and after a few lessons even beginners find that they can easily and thriftily double their wardrobes without straining their al lowance. Their bright minds are quick to grasp the uses of almost miracle - working sewing attach ments, and they make short work of ruffles, applique, monogramming and all the rest of the expert finishes that give distinction to couturier fashions. It's important for every patriotic teen-age miss to take up the matter of reclaiming various closet castoffs, and there's a lot of fun and satis faction in transforming "castoffs" into wearable fashion-right clothes. After a few hours of instruction any college miss can transform that ex tra pair of brother's old trousers into a good looking companion skirt for the plaid jacket, made of fa ther's well-worn woolen bathrobe. These two pieces will be worn to gether as you see centered in the illustration. Before you start on any remodel ing job see that the fabric is care fully ripped, cleaned and pressed. Be sure to take a good look at the wrong side. Even after hard wear, the wrong side of most good woolens looks practically new. Sewing in structors will show you how to lay the fabric on the cutting table with the grain and design going in one direction. This technique avoids amateurish mistakes that result in the wrong hang in the finished gar ment. In making over a pair of trousers into a skirt, experts advise a simple four-gored or pleated-front skirt pat tern as the most satisfactory choice. After the trousers have been ripped apart, cleaned and pressed, turn them upside down, using the narrow or bottom part for the waistline. If the trouser width is not sufficient to take care of pleats, seam in an ex tra strip that's been cut out of the unused part. A discarded suit of a brother in the army can be counted on to yield ideal salvage material for a smart tailored jumper, styled after the manner of the attractive model to the right. The jumper to the left is also of salvaged material, the suit used be ing of light colored wool. Even if you buy a few yards of gabardine or wool crepe for the jumper, a can vass of the family closets is likely to yield up enough castoff garments to provide any number of interesting blouses to wear with one's jumper. To give fabric - saving wartime wardrobes a maximum fashion rat ing, it's clever strategy to practice "mix and match" magic. A jacket that co-stars with a skirt or a jump er, or a skirt that doubles up smart ly with a plaid blouse are good ex amples of teaming that give the ef fect of extra costumes. The tiny sketches below in the il lustration offer suggestions for mix and-match costumes reclaimed from discarded garments. The plaid blouse to the left was made from a "has been" bathrobe, the slacks of fine cloth salvaged from man's navy flannel houserobe, the suit jacket came from brother's back-number coat and the plaid skirt was cut out of the lower portion of a plaid bath robe. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Double-Duty Hat This hat so exquisitely designed in sculptured lines serves for both day and evening wear. Fitting closely to the head and curving gracefully about the browline is a cap of bright green velvet embroidered in bronze beads. The cap may be worn for dinner alone or for most any formal occasion. For daytime wear as here pictured, it takes on a sphinx-like drape of green felt which is made detachable so that you practically have two hats in one. Unrationed Fabric Play Shoes From Guatemala and Central America come the handwoven Indi an designs on cotton gabardine ma terial that make up into most at tractive play shoes, that have the added attraction of being unrationed. Glove Modes Stress Color, Soft Styling The fashion outlook for spring is the softer dressmaker look in gloves. Generally speaking, rayon jersey will be "the" fabric of fabrics, both in short lengths and long. Shortages of familiar leathers and other glove fabrics challenge both manufacturer and designer to bring their genius and imagination into play. Gloves will flaunt unusual trims such as laces, piques, patent leather and em broideries, though the practical all purpose glove will be the simple classic that most people want, ex cept for gala wear. The continued acceptance of the cap sleeve insures a bright future for the long glove. The mosquetire is good but it will vie this year with the removable hand glove. There will be color galore this spring. The pink family will especially be a winner. Fuchsia is still good, and later fancy will turn to white. Attractive Work Aprons Made of Faded-Blue Denim This is the time of year when the spring sewing program is chief topic of conversation among women who believe in preparedness. It's wise to begin with the simple things, such as pretty aprons. If you are going to work in your garden later on you will find good use for an apron of denim. A most attractive trim on a faded-blue denim is a single pocket with a big red apple, the same cut out of boilfast cotton with leaves and stems in green applique. Braid trimming is also pretty. BjQQjJQHI I FUTURE PROGRESS OF U. 8. AVIATION ONE MAN I KNOW, and another I did know, both rather intimately, to me point the way to the possibili ties of the future of aviation, though neither of them ever flew a plane. One of these men, J. C. ("Kid") Nichols, is a Wyoming ranchman, a lumber manufacturer on a large scale, an ardent sportsman and big game hunter. His home is an elab orate and unusually attractive ranch house near Cody, Wyo. His business office is in Chicago. His mills are scattered over a number of south ern states. He commutes by plane between his home, office and plants. He uses a plane for the transporta tion of week-end guests at his ranch home. To his intimates, and they num ber thousands, he is known only as "Kid." The name was acquired dur ing his youthful days as a lumber jack, when he was the champion wrestler of the northwest lumber camps. He is proud of that name, feeling it represents his start at the bottom of life's ladder. He is also proud of the friendship he enjoyed, as a boy, with Buffalo Bill Cody. He built, equipped and maintains the Cody museum at Cody, Wyo., visited by thousands of tourists each year. As a big game hunter "Kid" Nich ols has, as personal trophies, the hides or horns of everything in the nature of big game found on the North American continent from the shores of the Arctic ocean to the Isthmus of Panama, and a goodly proportion of all the many species found in Africa. When the war is over he expects to use planes as a means of transportation to add to that African collection. The second of the two men was Charles Walgreen. I knew him first, many years ago, as a young apothe cary clerk in a small neighborhood drug store, in Chicago. A bit later he bought that store on something like a dollar down and a dollar a week payment basis. It was from that small beginning that the nation wide chain of drug stores grew. To give to these stores an element of personal attention called for almost constant travel. To facilitate such attention he purchased a plane and employed a pilot. That was his mode of travel for several years prior to his death, caused by illness, some four years ago. Charles WalgTeen and "Kid" Nichols are among those who have demonstrated the practica bility of the airplane as a busi ness convenience. These two men have also demonstrated that America is still a land of opportunity for the go-getter, those who are willing to apply their talents. Eaeh of them started at serateh and by their own efforts achieved success in a land in which our bureaucratic economists tell us there Is no longer a possibility of success. ? ? ? P08T-WAR PLANNING FOR EVERY TOWN WHEN THE WAR IS OVER, with constantly Increasing sup plies snd materials available, ev ery town will offer opportunities for new small business ventures. Returning servicemen will be seeking such opportunities, and with or without government as sistance, will be in a position to finance them. There are some such opportunities in this town. It will be a real service to think of and suggest them. Doing so win not alone be of value to some returning serviceman, but win be beneficial to the commu nity. It will mean business growth, new lines of enterprise. It should be an organized effort starting NOW. IN THE LATE POLITICAL fracas both sides were insistent upon, "let us have a look at the record." Hera is one that was not looked at. From the inauguration of Washington to the inauguration of President Roosevelt Ametica had 32 presi dents. During that period we had fought some six major wars, in cluding the Civil war and World War I. We had passed through some 12 major depressions. We had grown from 13 to 48 states, and had ex tended our civilization from the Al legheny mountains to the Pacific coast. From the days of Washington to 1933 there had been issued by our 32 presidents some 6,000 execu tive orders. In the 10 years from 1933 to 1943 President Roosevelt is sued more than 3,000 such orders. NOW THAT WE WILL NOT have another presidential election for four years, Senator Byrd and his com mittee may be able to secure a re duction in the number of federal government employees. ? ? ? THE PEOPLE AND THE GOV ERNMENT want the returning sol dier to have a job. Will the govern ment undertake to pay the union initiation fee for him so he may be allowed to have a job, or must he provide that out of his mustering out pay? If he must it would mean, in a large proportion of cases, de ciding between a Job and that suit of civvies he had intended to buy. WLjiM* wr Looking at HOMVWHDI \X/ HEN "Roughly Speaking" hit the stands last year I started right in yelping about it. As I re member, my words were: "One of the most fascinating books I've ever read. As American M Rnstrm hakAri beans. Charac ters sturdy as Plymouth rock. Mrs. Pierson, American moth er, could, if she had the stuff to do it with, lick Hitler single handed, as she's licked wealth and poverty and Louise Randall brought up five Pierson children. There's a woman I'd fly thousands of miles to meet." She reminded me of it when she got here for the filming of her book. Essence of America Mrs. Pierson, whose life story, "Roughly Speaking," was recently completed by Warners, with Ro* Russell in the autobiographical role. Is a person that you, too, have met, whether you know it or not. She's America. Born rich, pampered by a father who dressed like and faintly be lieved he might be King Edward (even to the beard, which he brll liantined), Louise was dumped out on a coldly realistic world at the age of 10, flat broke. Returning from his funeral, her mother called her two daughters to gether in the sunroom. "The trouble is," she said, "your father indorsed notes." There didn't seem any use in sit ting around bawling, so before long Louise was going great guns as a secretary ($12 a week), when she met her first husband-to-be, Rodney ?"si* feet two, tailored by Brooks, and had won six Latin prizes at Yale." Rodney was making $00.80 a month in a bank, so the two went to live in an $18 a month flat, where she had four children in four years. HTU? T> - J? ?-~a i?A- 1L? I mien ivuuiicy i cany gui uivw vire chips the family moved to Ossinlng, where Louise plunged into every thing from politics to the little thea ter. Tragedy struck in the form of infantile paralysis, temporarily laying low all four children. Louise Jr., never did fully recover. Rodney decided one day he'd had enough. "I'm moving to the Yale club," he declared. So without too much ado she got a divorce, another job, another hus band, and in due time another baby. Husband No. 2, Harold Pierson, fought with the Canadians in the last war. Kindred Spiritt He was as nuts as she. "I've always had a weakness for big men with black hair and blue eyes," says Louise. "Besides, he was romantic, charming, irresponsi ble, generous." He was also rich, owning the vast Pierson green houses and nurseries near Tarry town. Three years later they were broke. Harold got a WPA job in the New York City parks department, which led to the superintendency of land scape construction at the world's fair. one naa always warned to write letters to newspapers, heckling edi torial writers. One of these missives she aimed at Arthur Krock, political editor of the New York Times. Amused, he showed it to his friend Ma* Schuster, who promptly sent Louise a check and told her to start writing a book. At first, she tells me, she thought it was a gag, but when the check didn't bounce she realized she was i stuck. The result was "Roughly Speaking." She said it was the hardest work ? she ever did, and she's worked hard ' at everything from scrubbing floors to running a 37-foot boat. The book was an overnight smash (I threw at least Ave of my hats in the air), and three studios began bidding. Warners wired her: "Will you ac cept $35,000 for "Roughly Speaking* 1 and a contract at $300 a week, with expenses paid both ways?" An , swered Louise: "Three hundred a I week not enough?need new tooth brush." Replied Warners: "How about $500, then?" To which Lou ise wired: "Okay. That will pay for toothbrush and new hair-do, too." Louise Randall Pierson seems to be a feature at Warners. That first contract was torn up and a much fancier one rigged up. She and Har old bought a place at Santa Monica. If you've read the book, "Rough ly Speaking," I don't have to urge you to see the picture. If you haven't, I envy you the treat in store for you. ? ? ? Look Oat, New York Lee Shnbert Is on his way here to complete arrangements for "Sweet Surrender," a musical which is about the battle between Monterey and Los Angeles years ago. It will feature Leo Carrillo. The lyrics kid the pants off everything in Los An geles. That alone will cause it to run in San Francisco a year. It would be too good to be true, hav ing two plays succeed here before they hit Broadway. Remember "Song of Norway" opened en the j west coast.
