Changing World
Old Clippings Reveal Change of
Mind on Many Subjects, Sox Too
. By MAXINE BUREN
Statesman Womin'i Editor
We have been writing for this paper for almost 18 years now,
and though we are lax in keeping clippings of the stories, we
have had short spells now and then of cutting out a story or two
or even three and then settling back into the old way of not caring
to re-read what we write.
Today, however, looking into an old scrapbook we found a
story about some mighty up and coming things that were going on.
Tne picture of ourselves that so brightens up the clipping would
indicate that it's about ten years old, because we remember when
we bought that blouse.
SOMETHING NIFTY
"New cotton stockings will be ready in the fall. They'll fit
the foot and ankle, and will be attractive and sheer. This cotton is
American -grown and will be an interesting new development in
American Industry!"
And would you believe this one is so recent:
"A gentleman who likes to invent things has just completed
household locker for storing frozen foods. The contraption hasn't
yet arrived in western markets but according to an illustration it
looks like a cross between a cylindrical washing machine and a
white enameled laundry hamper. It's said to be just the thing for
those householders who spend considerable each month on down
town storage lockers."
FELL HARD
We remember of thinking that this was one thing we'd never
fall for but we fell hard and have never once regretted buying
our freezer, though we get along on a very old and very inade
quate refrigerator.
In the same story we noted that an Eastern manufacturer was
producing gloves that fit either hand, and if the purchaser lost
one. he simply went to the store and bought another. We never
heard of these again, though they sounded good.
We were guilty in 1941 of making this bold statement:
"Never will there be a stockingless America. Smart manufac
turers are not going to let American women go barelegged, not as
long as their equipment can be turned into knitting sheer cot
tons if silks disappear."
6HORT ON SOX
But we did get pretty short on stockings there for awhile
when manufacturers made war products and though the custom is
certainly not a pretty one, there are many more women going
around the city with bare legs now than there ever were before the
war. We remember that things got so bad even we, who gets cold,
wore legs without coverings.
It's fun to look over old clippings, we've been checking back
on scrapbooks on ideas for building a home, and find that tastes
certainly change for the better, naturally.

DESIGN AN UNUSUAL. CHEST
A mint of money is nice to dip
into if you want unusual furniture.
But get-up and ideas can get it for
you, too. Look at ready-to-paint
furniture and see it as another
chore to do, or spot it for what it
is, a big chance to create one-of-a
kind designs of your own. Because
combinations of finishes and colors
are in fashion now you might de
sign a two-tone chest to go along
with the trend. Lacquer it a medi
um or dark color, say gray or
deep green except for the door
or drawer fronts and finish them
with marble patterned decal that
comes by the sheet. Good looking
pulls step up the style of the piece
You may find interesting pulls
ready-made or make long wood
pulls and cover them with the de
cal marble. Anotber idea is to use
small round drapery tie-backs
from the drapery hardware de
partment for pulls.

though she is not alone.
Q. What is the usual tip to a
sleeping-car porter on a train?
A. Approximately SO cents for
every night you spent in his car.
Needless to say, extra service war
rants extra recompense.
Q. What does an usher at a
church wedding do if several
women arrive together?
A. He offers his arm to the

to escort the other women, they
follow in pairs.
