Red Nightshirt
Tops Gift List
For Teenagers
MF.RRY CHRISTMAS!
A rod flannel nightshirt to de
light any te'en?ager is easy to
make at home.
By DOROTHY ROE
Associated Press Women's Editor
Sure to be near the top of any
teen Christmas list is a nightshirt
such as Grandpa used to wear.
Revised by the younger set, the
old-fashioned nightshirt seems to
! be here to stay.
With the budget dwindling and
the Christmas list growing, why
not take a tip from local sewing
j center experts and make several
i nightshirts for gifts? Economical
and easy to make, they'll be the
hit of the season for the younger
set.
Fireman red cotton flannel is
|the fabric to choose to go with
; the festive season There's a
| standard pattern for a medernized
I nightshirt with notched elbow
I length sleeves, little mandarin
! collar, breast pocket and side
I slits at the hemline. White pearl
buttons complete the picture. The
patterns also includes directions
: for short and long-sleeve pajam
as.
The buttonholes wil be no chore
at all with tfie buttonhole attach
ment on your sewing machine.
And if you have one of the new
automatic swing-needle type ma
; chines, you can even let it sew
on the buttons as well as make the
! buttonholes.
To top off your slumber shirt,
' make a decorative peaked hat of
j the same fabric. Cut two triang(i
i lar pieces of material, stitch to
gether, insert elastic band to fit
your headsize. and use a tinkling
| Christmas bell for a tassel.
You can make the nightshirts
in a variety of colors and fabrics,
such ?s peppermint-stick striped
flannel or Tartan plaid. Applied
initials or a school emblem on the
pocket will personalize the gift.

BT NOmi CALLAHAN
At # press reception 1 bumped
into Lawrence Spivak and asked
him the question I've been wanting
to ask for a long trine: Who was
the most interesting person you
have ever had 011 your television
program, Meet the Press ?" Law
rence thought for a minute aftei
all, he has had many of our na
tion's top personalities on the show
?then he replied. "It w'as Sena- <
tor Bilbo of Mississippi, several
years ago. He had not given out .1
press interview in a long time. The j
information he gave about the Ku
Klux Klan made headlines all over
the country, and helped to stamp
out that organization."
Ross Caldwell is one of the most
interesting men I know. He and
his vivacious wife own a real coun
try store in the truly beauteous
valley of Maggie. N. C. and he and j
his associates are building this ;
miniature Garden of Eden into a j
travellers' haven. In his authentic i
store. Ross sells everything from j
old-time snuff to sassafrass. Not j
long ago. he received a letter from
a lady in Utica. N. Y. who had
stopped by his store . Wrote she:
"That /c andy-bacon you sell looks :
too real. I gave it to a friend who 1
put half of it in a frying pan. She j
had to answer the door bell and ] |
when she got back, it was burned to
a crisp, so she put the other hall
in. When it cooled, it stuck in
the pan so she had to chip it out.
A local watch company has good
judgment. It gave an award to
Helen Hayes, in some ways our
greatest actress. And not only 1
this, I happen to know she is one j
of our finest women?something i
which we who are close to the I
scenes of show business cannot say I
about too many of them. Said the j
company's citation: "Helen Hayes,
beloved First Lady of the Theater,
winner of the Academy Award, i
honorary president of the Ameri- :
can National Theatre Association
recreates life and evokes pure en
chantment with her brilliant, sen
sitive performances. As perma-!
nent chairman of the women's ac
tivities for the National Founda
tion for Infantile Paralysis, as Red
Cross volunteer ? her inspiring
work has immeasurably advanced j
their magnificent services to hu
manity."
Walter Hard of Manchester. Vt
tells of the taciturn New England
er who was asked how his wife was 1
and replied in this manner: "Well,
all right. I guess. But you know . !
last winter 1 got worried about her. 1
She weqj out to the barn to do the ,
inilkin' and some other chores one !
late afternoon and the snow was
comin' down and the wind was
blowin' and ice fast formin' and I
stood there beside our fireplace
alookin' out the window at her for
'bout an hour strugglin' with the
elements?and you know for a i
time there. I was afraid I was
goin' to lose her!"
When I was in college. I wrote
a long paper on how systematic
was education, how haphazard was
marriage. From the vantage point
of an inexperienced student. I
sounded off in typically authori- '
tative manner on how well we plan
ned careers but how boys and girls
were supposed just to bump into
their future mates with the help
fo God and whatever friends they
happened to have. Later on I
I
thought this must have seemed a
silly and.over-ambitious idea. Yet!
only this week a minister in Iowa ;
reported to a church council here j
that "young people art* not helped \
sufficiently to develop their emo-1
tional lives. Many phases of col
lege-life should be geared to prepa
ration for Christian marriage, in
cluding dating, going steady and
the engagement period. '

Plastic Snow Decorations
Are Pretty, Easy To Make
AP Ncwsfeatures
The whole family can have fun
making Christmas decorations this
year from a now sparkling v^hite
foam plastic which looks like
snow and can be rut in any shape i
you like.
You can buy this st.vrofoam
plastic at ten-cent stores or de
partment stores, either in ready
! made shapes or in rectangular
blocks from which you can sculpt
vour own designs with a penknife.
Because it is light and porous,
1 the foam plastic not only is easy
to cut, but easy to decorate with
i glittering ornaments and sequins.
These can be stuck on tho plastic
form with pins. '
The readymade designs avail
able include such holiday shapes
ae canes, snowmen, Santas, rein
deer, sleighs, snowflakes and
! miniature Christmas trees.
If you want to try your hand as
, an amateur sculptor, a miniature
! sleigh is a good thing to begin on. :
To make one, use a sheet of styro
, foam a half-Inch thick. Cut one
rectangular 3 1/4 by 9 inches to
form the bottom of the sleigh, a
piece of 5 1/4 by 4*4 inches for
I the back and one 5 1/4 by 3 inehes
! for the front. Then cut out two
gracefully carved sides lS'-i inch
es long and inches high, using
a picture of an old-fashioned sleigh
to go by. Put the sleigh together
| with straight pins, which go
straight through the light, foamy
plastic. First secure the Sides to
the bottom section, then put on the
front and back sections, slanting
them outward at the top.
Now you have a three-dimen-t
PLASTIC SLEIGH . . . Easy to
rut oat and Murmblr with new

sional sleigh which you can dec
orate with plnned-on sequins and
fill with gay Christmas balls for
a table centerpiece or a window
sill decoration. To make the pic
ture really complete, you can try
your hand ait sculpting a team of
reindeer to attach to the sleigh.
Once you start on your plastic
snow sculpture, you'll find all
sorts of other decorative uses for
it, such as ornaments for gift^ack
ages. or little snowball packages
