LYNN SAYS:
Are Yen Smart
A boot Leftovers?
Yesterday’s roast makes a wel­
come casserole, quick stew or hash
stuffed into green peppers.
Don’t let your bacon drippings
get rancid. Refrigerate them and
use in place of butter for seasoning
vegetables.
Sweet cake and cookie crumbs
may be used for dessert if combined
into a souffle or mixed with ice
cream.
If you don’t have quite enough
meat to make hamburgers, you can
extend what you have with mashed

Juice left over from canned fruit
can be saved and thickened with

Leftover bacon or frankfurters
can be used with hard-cooked eggs,

Sewing Circle Patterns
Woman s World
Check for Special Qualities
Before Purchasing Fabrics
LIVERY woman who does any sew-
ing of clothes at home has to
have a lot of information at hand
when she buys fabrics. It’s easy to
decide about the color, but it’s
somewhat more difficult to judge
color fastness, serviceability, dura­
bility and finish.
Fortunately many fabrics now are
labeled as to their various charac- i
teristics. and that is a valuable j
service. It’s hard to judge certain
things merely by seeing.
Price is not a guide to quality, for
these special attributes which you
look for, are hidden in the construc­
tion. dyeing and finish. Look for the
label first, or ask the salesperson
if you want something specific an­
swered.
Most good textile manufacturers
have testing laboratories which fur­
nish the information given you on
labels. T hese a re scientifically
proved facts and you can rely on [
them as the manufacturer wants
you to treat the material according­
ly for best wear.

Choose Washable M aterial
To Avoid Dry Cleaning
There are certain garments which
soil easily and which will have to be
laundered frequently. Wouldn’t it be
impractical to choose a fabric
which is labeled "dry clean only” if
you are using (he dress constantly
and whose cleaning bills would put
the budget out of kilter?
Children’s clothing for everyday
use, men’s shirts, lingerie and dra­
pery materials preferably should be
washable.

have excellent draping qualities and
rich, true colors that will set you
off properly.
Very crepey crepes with mossy or
pebbly effects also are good for
more formal dress.
All of these materials are to be
avoided, however, if you are looking
for washability. In the case of the
pebbly-woven crepe, for instance,
highly twisted yarns must be used
to get that effect, and you can un­
derstand why this would not stand
washing.

Firm Weave Is Sign
Of Good Quality
There’s one rule which applies to
the p u rc h a se of e v e ry fabric
whether it is ready-made or by-the-
yard. No matter what the weave or
what the purpose for the fabric, it
should have a firm weave. Closely
woven fabrics keep their shape bet­
ter and give longer wear. They have
less tendency to shrink and pull at
the seams.
Even if the fabric has an open
weave, see that it is firm. If it is
open too much, it’s apt to be sleazy
before you get the garment put to­
gether.
Judge the firmness by holding the
material to light. If the yarns are
evenly spaced, this is a good sign.
If you can pull the yarns apart
easily and shift them around, there
will be danger of pulling at the

1 book, also tree knitting directions.
If you are looking for crispness in
material, such as organdie, ask if it
is permanent. Will it last through
washing or dry cleaning?
Some finishes stabilize shrinkage,
and this is important if you are
making a garment that is rather
fitted.
There is no such thing as a
crease-proof finish, but there are
some fabrics which are crease-re­
sistant and this is a big help. It will
tend to wrinkle less readily, and
most of the time, the wrinkles will
fall out when the fabric is hung up
for a few hours.
Water-repellant finishes are im­
portant on children's clothing such
as sports' jackets, raincoats and
outdoor wear. Some of these are
durable finishes and last through
several washings or cleanings. Oth­
ers can be re-applied by the dry
cleaner.
If you want a watered effect In a
fabric such as moire, you'll find that
steam or water will destroy It. In
this case, avoid water spotting or
steam pressing.
If you want to be certain of a per­
manent moire finish, ask for acetate
moire. This will not be destroyed In
pressing or water spotting.
Most fabrics now are made of
fast colors, but it's always wise to
( heck this either by label or other­
wise. If you cannot find out, wash
a small piece of fabric before it is
sewed to find out definitely.
PLAIN OR FANCY
What is smarter than a smart cot­
ton dress, even if you are wearing it
informally at home? You'll like pop­
lin. especially for its excellent tex­
ture and easy launderability. If you
want to fancy up the cottons, then
you’ll like the idea of adding quilt­
ing to the jacket of a new. long

'ColumbusClocks' Found
To Be but Fair Souvenirs
At the Chicago W orld’s fa ir (Co­
lumbian exposition) in 1893, thou­
sands of souvenir clocks were sold
bearing a portrait of Columbus
and the date 1492, says Collier's.
Years later upon the death of the
original purchasers, a large num­
ber of these souvenirs came into
the possession of descendants and
others, many of whom, believing
they owned “ a clock brought over
by Columbus,” sought an estimate
of its value from clock authorities
and antique dealers, only to be
disillusioned.

Some Weaves Resist
Soiling and W rinkling
When a fabric is smooth and
glossy, it is less apt to soil. Rayon
satin, taffeta and moire will soil
less than the mossy crepes or nubby
weaves. Or, if you are Interested in |
sporting dresses, select sharkshin in
preference to twill, for example. In
suit fabrics, the regular suiting ma­
terial keeps clean better than
tweed.
In dresses, the knitted fabrics
tend to resist both soiling and
wrinkling.
If you are buying knitted fabrics
for underwear check to see if the
garment is run-resistant or run-
proof. Run-proof means that the
stitches are locked and cannot run
at all, «vhile run-resistant means
that the garment can run only in
one direction.
For dress-up clothes, satins as
well as variations of satin crepe,
velvet and chiffon will give the
