f'' OOD frocks and true are these
'J currently exhibited by your
favorite designers, Sew-Your-Own.
There’s an ultra-polished model
for informal evenings (dancing
and that sort of thing), called the
“Good-night frock.” Then there’s
the more home-loving “Good
morning” number, and, to com
plete the trio, a swell little after
noon frock for tea-time goings-on.
Why not spend happy days ahead
in these very frocks? All you need
do, you know, is to Sew, Sew, Sew-
Your-Own!
Spring Frock.
The girl who has a flare for
streamlining will see at once that
the frock at the left is meant for
her—just for her. She will make
it of satin if she’s thinking ahead
to Spring; of wool if her mind is
on the present or near future. She
will puff the sleeves gently, give
the girdle tie a fair but firm snug-
ging-up, adjust the chic cowl neck
—and she’ll be something lovely
to look at. Yes, Milady, this is the
“Good-night frock” and if it’s the
last thing you do, you must add it
in your new wardrobe.
To Start the Day.
When you greet the little family
with that bright and cheery “Good
morning,” be sure your frock re
flects an equally sweet note. Sew-

breeze through your day’s work
like nobody’s business. The shirt
waist styling offers style and com
fort that make this your best bet
for early season’s wear.
A Go-Gittin’ ” Style.
And for a charming “Good
afternoon,’’ choose a frock with
plenty on the personality side. Such
is the new young model at the right.
Buttons in a line down the front tell
you in so many dots and dashes
that here you have “go-gittin’ ”
style for Spring, 1938. Princess
lines cared for fastidiously by a
belt, and a collar with much of
what it takes—these are things
that prompt Sew-Yo-ur-Own to put
this frock in its Fashion-First Re
view for the Spring season. Make
your version soon, Milady. That
invitation to tea will find you un
afraid and eager to go.

of $401,076,000 from the present fis
cal year.
Expenditures, exclusive of debt
retirements, will total $6,896,000,000,
a decrease of $539,600,000 from the
present fiscal year.
National defense appropriations
will total $991,300,000, an increase of
$34,300,000. Later the President may
ask for additional funds to construct
several extra naval vessels.
Relief expenditures for the next
fiscal year will total roughly $1,138,-
304,000, a decrease of $841,356,000
from the present fiscal year.
The deficit will be financed
through Social Security and other
trust funds and not through public
borrowing.
The deficit estimate for the fiscal
year which ends June 30 has been
raised from $695,000,000 to $1,088,-
100,000, because of the business re
cession.
Expenditures for new highways,
new rivers and harbors projects,
new public buildings, new recla
mation projects and other new pub
lic works will be reduced sharply.
The public debt will reach a rec
ord high of $38,528,200,000 on June
30, 1939.
