What Is Processing?
When we speak of canning vege

as possible (th is is where having a
garden of yo u r own helps so m uch)
and try in g to observe to the le tte r
the rule of g e ttin g the vegetables

Rule No. 2 is to have a ll y o u r

“ I ' D R A T H E R have little g irls

m o th e r say, "because it's so hard to
keep the boys in clothes.”
Well, I suppose boys are ju s t a
b it h a rder on clothes than d a in ty
little g irls arc, but i f you do your
own sew ing-and use s tu rd y m a te ri
als and good seams and also allow
plenty of room fo r the a ctive play
in w hich the boys engage, there
w on't be anything too d iffic u lt about
keeping them in garm ents.
Y ou’ll find th a t D a d 's old clothing

nom ical clothing fo r Ju n io r. Pants
: can easily be cut down o r ripped

fo r the youngster. S hirts, too, are
easy to m ake fro m la rg e r ones and

Study seam co n stru ctio n c a re fu lly
; before you s ta rt sew ing and bear in

B ig patch pockets are
useful because they are nice fo r
c a rry in g a ll sorts of incongruous ob

the jo b of cleaning them out. Bound
buttonholes and bound slits are also
