Around The
House ;:
By Dolores Una,
Your Horn Extension Agent
It was bound to happen sooner
or later the fashion designers
have at last put the waistline
back where it belongs. According
to reports on 'the Paris Spring
collections, the sack thing is a
thing of the past as is the high
waisted Empire look.
This season the sands are run
ning in favor of the hour glass
form and it looks like a big year
for anyone still in the waist
cincher -business. To wear the
new fashions, I'm sure we'll all
need figures like Scarlet O'
Hara's. Belts, sashes, and cum
merbunds reduce the middle to
its absolute minimum
As for skirts, they either puff
slightly over the hips or arch into
huge, tea-cozy shapes that take
to petticoats beautifully.
Width at the shoulder line bal
ances the full-blown, puffed skirt
look. For example, the sleeves of
one dress I've seen, a luscious
pumpkin color silk, look like
mushroom caps. Wide, stand-
away collars are "in evidence
everywhere. Necklines ,i ,bare.ly
caress the body, baring the neck
and shoulders. In fact, many of
the morefonnal dresses are de
liberately, and provocatively,
might add, designed to look as if
the top of the gown were slipping
slowly off the shoulders. .
Spring is suit : time, and the
hour glass shape holds true here
too. Jackets are short this year,
many of them are really boleros.
The neckline also makes news in
the suit field. Collars often stand
well away from1 the neck and ex
tend right out' to the shoulder
line. These short, free-hanging
jackets often have a fill-in chif
for scarfs or perhaps a spring
blouse, the fabric of which lines
the jacket. And, again, these short
jackets emphasize the minimum
waistline.
All in all, lUshould be a good
season for the foundation people.
As for me, its -back to cottage
cheese and Ry-Krisp!
Did you Know- you can re
store the aroms inside a cedar
chest by sanding the interior
lightly? The sanding removes
dust and film from the wood and
brings back the. cedar chest
scent. ?'
Did you Know; , It's a good
idea to move :, the furniture
around and rotate rugs because
pests usually feed under heavy
pieces where it's hard to clean?
Insects avoid spots that are ex
posed to light, alf.-movement and
regular cleaning.-
T
Make it a weekly practice to at
tend church and- Sunday School.
You'll enjoy the friendly fellow
ship and neighbors in the church
of. your choice.'.',. ' ' .
