Woman's World
Scmi-Formals Need Variety If
You Want Balaneed Taste
fäij £ r t t a
F R IE N D of mine confided to
me recently that she never
seemed to have as smart looking
clothing as her friends, although she
spent as much as they did. After
checking her wardrobe, we found
that she made one error from sea
son to season.
It’s an easy^rror to fall into, and
one you may be guilty of without
perhaps realizing It. This friend of
mine had found one basic dress that
she liked and she bought a similar
one every year, even though in a
slightly different color. Although the
basic design was becoming to her,
it finally became so monotonous
that she felt she was not having any
variety in her wardrobe, as were
her friends.
Every woman should realize that
every season requires something
entirely different in the way of color
and design if she is to be complete
ly happy about her clothes. 1 cer
tainly don’t suggest that you go in
for bizarre experiments in clothing,
hats or accessories, but there are
many attractive colors and styles
from which to choose.

LYN N SAYS:
Unless you have your own vege
tables, choose those you buy with
extreme care. Look for fresh
ness, since most vegetables lose
their crispness and flavor as soon
as they are picked.
When using frozen vegetables,
it’s best not to let them defrost
before cooking as they deteriorate
rapidly after thawing. Experts
say they should be placed in boil
ing water in their frozen form.

Laundering Shirts
Washing and ironing a shirt
is not the contrary job it’s reput
ed to be, even though there are
many older homemakers who
hate the thought of doing the
shirts. There’s a trick, or per
haps several of them, to doing
the job properly.
First of all, make sure the
shirt is clean. Put it through
two washings to make sure it is
immaculate. Use a soft but firm
brush for scrubbing collars and
cuffs, as they soil most easily.
Never rub the two together as
this simply paves the way for
fraying.
Turn the pockets out and make
sure there is no dirt, grime or
tobacco resting at the bottom of
the pocket. If you don’t do this,
there's bound to be trouble dur
ing ironing.
If it is a cotton shirt you are
washing, make the first rinse wa
ter warm, the second cool.
Rinse twice. Starch while wet
but consult the man as to how
he likes his shirt starched.
When you hang the shirt to
dry, try to get most of the wrin
kles out of it by shaking them
out. This makes the ironing eas
ier. When dry, dampen slightly
and roll in a towel, but do not
wad the shirt too tightly as this
will create wrinkles that just
need to be ironed.
Start ironing with the wrong
side of the collar, then go to the
right side. Yoke and sleeves are
next. Then iron down the front
of the shirt so as to shape the
shirt properly.
If you make an addition to the
ironing board about the size of
a bread board, but quite a bit
lighter and pad this, it can be
slipped over the regular board
and used for shirts.
