Outdo Grandma; Show Opens

United Press Correspondent
New York (W Today's
woman sticks to her knitting.
Also to her weaving, crocheting,
rug-hookinug, tatting, quilting,
and a hundred other hobbies
whichQfill her spare time.
At the rate she is going, she
will outdo grandma, and grand
ma was no slouch. She reared a
big family, did all th house
work and still found timfio
knit socks and crochet antimac
assars. . "Look at whjijfc has happened
to weaving," said Mrs. Leo Fein
O berg, who is coordinating the
34th Annual Women's Interna
tional Exposition, which opened
today at the 71st Regiment Ar
mory. "It is an ancient craft, in
a fantastic new vogue. Women
are weaving skirts, suit and dress
fabrics, baby crib covers, pic
tures, drajSries, couch covers.
One woman even has woven a
room divider
"All this on a hand loom, mind
you. This year we are giving
four times as much space to wea
ving entries as we did last year."
Half Th Gals Crochet
The other handicrafts are do
ing right well. Mrs. Feinberg,
who has been with the exposi
tion since 1940, said at least 50
per cent of the nation's adult
female population does crochet.
Almost as many knit. Some wo
men are skilled at three or four
types of needlework.
She isn't sure where they find
the time, considering that some
22 million hold outside jobs.
Satisfies Creatiye Urge
"But there are three good rea
sons handicrafts will go on and
on," she said. "They satisfy our
creative urge. Take me, I'm a
knitter. I can go out and buy a
sweater for my grandson for $5.
It will take me several hours
to knit one and I will spend
just as much money. But I get
more pleasure out of seeing him
wear what I made.
"Doing something with our
hands calms our nerves better
than tranquilizing pills.
"And I do think most of us
women deep down want to keep
alive the arts and skills our
grandmothers knew."
For most women, their handi
work Is a hobby, although a few
have turned it into a moneymak
er, she added.
No Age Limit
. Women from 8 to 80 are in
' eluded in the more than 5,000
showing their work at the cur
. rent exposition, which runs un
til November 10.
Youngest exhibitor is 8-year-old
Gabriela De Ganges, of En
cino, Calif., who with her broth
er. Raoul, 9, is showing various
gift items made of shells. One
of the oldest is Miss Mary
O'Brien, 80, of the Bronx, an
embroidery expert.
A star attraction of the show
is th "Rug-O-Rama," consisting
of JfoO hand-made rugs including
$ "one world" design by a travel-minded
Lcg Island, N. J.,
housewife, Mrs. Ingrid McBrian
featured a 9-by-15-foot hooked
rujf "which has been years in
the making. I couldn't count
th hours."

H&9 Cotton Prints 1
Gaining Favor as
Decorative Fabric
Cotton prints are challenging
solid-color cottons for the lead
ing role in decorative fabrics.
Prints in sharp, clean pat
terns have been gaining new
popularity throughout the coun
try in re'eent months, according
to trade reports.
Solids have enjoyed the lead
ing position for the past four
years. Fabric manufacturers ex
plain that it is easier to coordi
nate a single color in a room set
ting than to decorate with a pat
tern that may include several
different colors.
New fabric collections, how
ever, feature simplified prints,
especially monotones and two
color patterns, that are easy to
coordinate with other decorative
elements.
When meat balls, meat loaf
or 'burgers are on your menu, try
substituting robust California
"rosso" or other red table wine
for the liquid used in the neat
mixture. This fine seasoning adds
moistness and good flavor, and
blends with any ingredient you
might use in your own special
recipe.
