The beautiful fubrlcs and interesting weaves of men's shirts moke excellent material for spright ly little pinafores and blouses. Most of you mothers know the high cost of those frilly blouses for sister to wear with her Jumpers. Or you know how quickly she grows out of pinafores. Yet the cost of converting Dad's old shirt Into one of these Items is frequently only the price of a spool or two of thread to match. If the shirts are worn or torn around the armholes, this need be no problem in making the pinafore, because this material is not neces sary. Only the back and front of the shirt need be In good condi tion. Worn sleeves will not spoil the plans at hand. gray can he brightened with green, red or white. For the more sturdy pinafores, use a minimum of trimming and de pend upon tailoring and detail to put the pinafore across. A feather stitch around the pockets may be all that you will need, provided this is in an attractive, contrasting color thread. Making a Blouse. C u ttin g the P in a fo re .

As in the case of the pinafore, the To get the most material from a back of the shirt is used for the shirt, wash It carefully, then press front, if the blouse is buttoned all and rip,, being careful not to tear the way down the back. any of the fabric. If. however, you are making a shirtwaist style, use the hack of the shirt for the blouse and the two front pieces of the shirt cut down to make the front. Very often the tiny buttons on the shirt will go very well with the blouse. The sleeves of the shirt will pro vide ample material for a little round collar and puffed sleeves. These may be trimmed with lace or crocheting, or even bright-colored piping Whenever you are working with this type of remodeling, it’s best to keep ironing board and iron handy.

This is known as reweaving, and when carefully done, the darn can be almost in visible. If a skirt is too short to hem, a facing may be placed in it. Stitch the facing, which should be of material fairly similar to the skirt, to the bottom. Press the seam before turning facing to wrong side, and baste. Turn up material and hem to place. Before you wear a dress even once, protect the underarms from fading or wearing out with a pair of dress shields. Sew or pin them in, and remember, they must be washed frequently. Shields such as these will save cleaner’s bills and often prevent the dress from becoming ruined. A plain, drab dress can often be made wearable and even quite gay by an applique around the shoulder, on the pockets, around the belt or even to the side on the skirt. Choose a simple flower design and trace the outline on contrasting fabric or cut the de sign from a scrap of gay print. Or, use old, leftover yarn to em broider a bouquet. You can completely disguise an unsightly tear or burn by cover ing it with a decorative patch. These patches are especially suit able for youngster’s clothing, sports clothes and casual lingerie. Use an applique made of cca- trasting colored material from an illustration or a transfer pat tern. Be sure that the design is large enough to cover the dam aged place.

Playtime Togs ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Kathleen Norris Says: G ay C ro ss-S titch ed T o w e ls fo r K itc h e n s Fashion Notes If you are making a dark suit with a plaid trim, it's smart to have three quarter dolman sleeves, cuffed in the plaid trim used for the rest of the ensemble. Cape stole suits are popular in the checked fabrics for spring. A new note is added by pleating the jacket softly, and making the belt stand out by putting a silver buckle on it. Interesting effects with scarves are popular. They may be worn just as a scarf, or planned as part of the dress, sleeves or skirt. Plaid ginghams are going old- fashioned with bustle and backdrop treatments for afternoon and eve ning wear.

Profits of businesses, upon the proper spending of small and large, have been the family income. good during the last five or six It is sometimes wiser, be years. Savings of individuals fore you marry, to agree that are at unprecedented levels. you will differ upon this point, than to fondly and blindly Each fam ily has on the average state that you will discuss it some $2.000 in bonds and bank accounts. fairly, and agree upon it. I Of course it has happened that a wedded qauple faced this problem fairly and kept to their agreement. But very rarely. As a general rule, the husband makes the money, and the wife fills a dozen places at home—cook, houseworker, upstairs maid, ca terer. nurse, bookkeeper, hostess— and gets no pay It wouldn't make any difference if she did get paid, for it is impossible tor a wife and mother to keep her personal accounts separate from the family’s budget. She couldn’t see Tom wistful for money for his tennis racket, and Barbara all aglow to go to the Girl Scouts camp and quietly deny them, and continue to deposit her own dollars in her own bank account. No. mother’s money is everyone's money, and if she holds it out she merely feels ridiculous, selfish and unhappy. Anway, mother can't be adequate ly paid. Suppose her husband’s salary is $300 a month. How can he possibly compensate her and keep the home going, out of that? One hundred and fifty dollars a month would be low pay for what mother does. Budget Cramps Style. So they go along very much as everyone else does; sometimes they get the bills out and decide to do something about it, and sometimes they even talk budget. But stay ing Inside a budget is what was once described by a brother of mine as being like trying to dress in an upper berth. You are cramped on all sides. No sending flowers to dear Nancy, sick in the hospital. No taxis. The cheaper, smaller movie houses. The cheaper cuts of meat. You feel that the ease and gracious ness has gone out of life. It hasn't, of course. A call on Nancy, or a note, will be far more to her than three dollars worth of roses. The smaller movies are just the same as far as the show goes, and more comfortable as to crowd ing and seats. The cheaper cuts of meat takes more careful cooking and are more flavorsome. But saving, living economically is hard, just the same. Perhaps Tom wants a duck gun, feels guilty over the extravagance, tells you to get yourself the little checked coat. “Aw, what the heck!” says Tom, tired of drudgery, tired of saving, tired of seeing the woman he loves counting pennies. So you get the coat and he gets the gun and that same month the old car just goes to pieces, and—somewhat scared- now you’re committed to pay every month for that car! The payment on the car and the life of the car will terminate at the same time. But now and then a thrifty, sensi ble man gets a thrifty, sensible wife. They know that just as money mysteriously melts away under wasting, so it mysteriously accumu lates under saving. There’s no ex plaining this; it is simply so. They know that the saved $316 that looks so puny now will be over a thousand next year, and that some day they will be looking at a paper marked "Title," and saying to each other, "Home. Our own homel” They Spending also, however, has been and continues to be on an open-handed basis. Many who never had more than enough to live on have been enjoying luxuries once thought out of reach. fVhile prosperous times are expected to stretch on ahead for at least three or four years, the present scale of wild spending can mean hardship and ruin to many, many fami lies as soon as any pinch comes. Money problem s account for much, perhaps most, of the do mestic strife in the land. Few couples can face the hard facts of income and expenses realis tically. It is difficult to skim p and save when other people seem to be having fun and spending freely. Yet self-de nial is the price of future se curity and comfort. Savings mount up fast if the budget is adhered to closely. The tem ptation to make excep tions, to buy this or that un necessary luxury, is always present. After the first few years, however, the nest egg will be big enough to perm it a fetv departures from the rigid early plan. know that self-denial today bears a golden interest tomorrow; that mid dle-age will be dignified and secure; that they will not have to depend upon their children for support, or go on into old age laboring wearily for bread and butter.
