Crisp While Blouses Help Keep
You Cool in Sultry Weather
H EN the firs t w a rm days a r­
rive , most of us find ourselves
w ith o u t a n yth in g re a lly d e lig h tfu lly
cool to put on, and consequently we
go on a m ad buying spree to tr y to
bent the heat. How m uch b e tte r it
Is to s ta rt now before the sw e lte r­
ing days re a lly catch up w ith us,
and plan a sensible w ardrobe fo r
the hot days.
One of the best ways o f dealing
w ith the heat is to have lig h t-w e ig h t
suits and sk irts w ith w hich to w ear
cool organdie or batiste blouses,
made fro s ty looking w ith c ris p lace
o r em broidered osgandie. You can
plan to have several of these on
hand so that there w ill alw ays be
one fre sh ly laundered ready to put
on at a m om ent's notice.
Now th a t organdie and oth e r lig h t-
w eignt m a te ria ls are back on the
m a rk e t, it's a sim ple m a tte r to plan
to do yo u r own sewing on them and
have several blouses fo r the p rice
o f one.
P atterns and laces are
a v a ila b le again in gre a t v a rie ty ,
so there's a blouse fo r e ve ry figure
and every purse—i f you m ake yo u r
own.
I f you have only one su it w hich
you w ant to w ear w ith several
blouses, do select styles o f blouses
th a t are becoming w ith the neckline
of the suit. Or. if you have sep­
a rate s k irts w ith w hich you w ant
blouses, then do select blouses styles
th a t are e x tre m e ly becom ing to you.
Should you run to the heavy fig u re
type, stay away fro m organdie and
use m a te ria l such as batiste o r d im ­
ity th a t do not m ake you look quite
so fu ll blown.

If you hate to throw money away—here’s a SURE way to save
it I Whether your car is old or new—whether you own one car, or
a number of tractors and trucks as well—you should ch eck th e
oil filter regularly! I t’s easy—just drive in at your Fram dealer
and ask for a free Dipstick Test.
Then, if oil shows dirty, have him install a Genuine Fram
Replacement Cartridge to get the most out of your present filter,
remove grit, carbon and sludge, keep oil physi ^lly, visually
clean and prevent unnecessary motor wear!* (Remember, there’*
a Fram cartridge made to fit almost every type of filter.)
Or, if your car, truck or tractor is not already filter-equipped,
have your Fram dealer install a complete Fram oil filter. Takes
just a few minutes— the cost is small—and the savings in longer,
trouble-free engine life are bigl So play safe . . . see your Fram
