Mon EN Whatever The Weather For Easter | You'll Need A Shortie Coat Do you know why so many wom- en sew their own Easter outfits? It is cheaper, of course. But the fickle weatherman has a good deal to do with it. There is usually a run on home dressmaking courses in sewing centres, about six weeks before Easter, due to the changeable date of Easter, and the uncertainty of the weather. Women want the kind of all - weather, all - purpose spring clothes, these days, that are not wait to shop at the last minute, they may find the color they want, but not the style, or they see the right fabric, but may not care for the trimming. Most of those who go to sewing centres, are trying to save them. selves the expense of getting a complete new outfit. They sew their own to get something to go with things they already have. If you plan to do your own home | dressmaking for the Easter pa- rade, this year, drop into your nearest sewing centre and look at some of the water repellant and wrinkle resistant new fabrics in synthetics and blends. You will find several that are ideal for out- witting the weatherman. For those who plan only one new item in their wardrobe, sew- ing centre advisers suggest a shor- tie coat. It 'is the creasingly popular answer to the shorter spring weather that is now so prevalent on this continent. Worn over a suit in spring or fall, and over a light dress on summer eve- nings, a shortie coat is useful the year round. There is a particularly impor- tant advantage in sewing your own shortie. The length must be = right for you, if you want to k smart. You can get help in your sewing centre in a ering your pattern, if you are unusually tall or short. As with a suit coat, your shortie must cut you in just the always easy to come by. If they |{ ideal spot in relation to your hips to give you the most flattering line. Beware of altering a shortie de- signed for a different length, or one with buttons or pockets that may be thrown out of place. The loose style of shortie coat can be worn well over every type of cos- tume but a very full skirt. This type is easier to sew, say the sew- ing centre advisers, since fitting is simpler. Spend the money you save by sewing your own on a new hat, and you are ready for the Easter parade. When Buying Child New Shoes Satisfy Yourself That They Fit Well As youngsters outgrow their shoes before they have worn them; out, do not permit wear to deter- mine when new shoes are neces- sary. Here is a simple table show- ing, on the average, what you may expect in this regard: Ages 2 to 6 years, sizes change every 4 to 8 weeks; 6 to 10 years, 8 to 12 weeks; 10 to 12 years, 12 to 16 weeks; 12 to 15 years, 16 to 20 weeks, 16 years and over, 6 months and up. When buying new shoes check the following points to be sure that they fit well: 1. With laced shoes, see that the eyelets through which the laces go, are allel. 2. gs the toe of the shoe until Jou feel the tip of the big toe and second toe. They should be one- half to three-quarters of an inch from the toe of the shoe. 8. The widest part of the child's foot should be at the widest part of the shoe -- the ball of the. foot and the ball of the shoe should coincide exactly. 4. It should be ®sssible to grasp a small fold of leather at the side of the vamp. If the leather wrinkles, the shoe is too wide: if the leather is tight and bulging, the shoe is too narrow. 5. The shoe should not gape at the sides or the back when the child walks. Your child should walk around the store for several minutes before you decide to buy the shoes. 6. Because one foot may be larger than the other, always try on both shoes and buy the pair that fits the larger foot. 4704 14%---24%2 By ANNE ADAMS FIRST CHOICE of well-dressed half-sizers!

ADULTS' SHOES Because most foot troubles are the result of wearing either the wrong type of shoe for your foot, or shoes that are poorly fitted or badly constructed, you can do a great deal to help yourself if you ollow these steps for adult shoe comfort: 1. Take a good look at your shoes. Do they fit properly, with- out cramping your toes or squeez- ing tender nerves and muscles which can impede blood -circula- tion? Do they fit snu around the heel? Shoes that slide up and down will work blisters in short order, 2. Wear proper shoes for the ac- tivity in which you are engaged. Stick to comfortable, low-heeled shoes for most occasions. Have shoes of different heel heights in your shoe wardrobe and wear them alternately so that the mus- cles leading to the Achilles tendon are fully stretched. If you wear high heels continually, this will cause the tendon to shorten until it is painful to walk in anything but high heels. Never wear old shoes with rundown heels for housework. This causes many foot and posture problems. 3. Have your feet measured ac- curately VERY time you buy shoes. Don't insist on "such-and- such" a size because that is the size of your last pair of shoes. Feet can change in size and contour from one time of* buying to an- other, and may continue to change size throughout your whole life. 4. Alays have both feet meas- ured when buying shoes. Be sure the full weight of the body is on the feet when the measurement is taken. 5. Walk around the store in the shoes, make certain they don't pinch or squeeze, or rub when you | hats walk. 6. Change your shoes at least once a day. If possible, do not wear the same pair of shoes on consecutive days as this makes for better foot health and, because it allows the shoes to "rest", will give longer wear. 7. Wear stockings and shoes %- inch to %-inch longer than the longest toe, 8. Trim right! Cut your toenails straight across and not shorter than the flesh.

Hats Were Creations Recalls Kate Aitken In Last Of Memoirs "Spring always went to our heads" confesses Canada's own Kate Aitken in her Easter article. The last in her series of girlhood memoirs, Mrs. A. Says that hats 50 years ago "were not to be taken lightly, Each hat was a major pro- duction." At her father's general store in the, small village of Beeton, a mill- iner was imported from Toronto to create the two or three hundred hats needed for the grand Spring Millinery Opening. The arrival of the milliner was definitely a social occasion, To the villagers she seem: ed as glamorous as a Hollywood star -- smartly dressed hair, slum- herous eyes, a voluptuous figure, strange and exotic perfumes. But best of all, she lived at Kate's house and the seven little Scotts could sidle past her bedroom-work- room to see how beauty Queens really lived. For weeks before Easter the pressure mounted. Box after box of velvet, plumes, wire, buckram, flowers and ribbons arrived. All day long the store was kept red- hot for steaming the crushable vel- vet trim. Came the day of the Opening, which was always Wed- nesday before Easter, and Kate Scott Aitken could hardly bear hav- ing to go to school. y two o'clock in the afternoon the farmers and wives began to arrive, their carts pled high with eggs, chickens, and butter which the wife would give Mr. Scott in exchange for a hat. If she went the limit on a hat -- four dollars was tops -- for weeks after Easter an extra dozen eggs and three or four pounds of butter came in tg help pay the overdraft. It wasn't until Easter Sunday service that Robert Scott and his wife could assess the results of their Spring Millinery Opening. They sang in the choir, you see, so they could tell to the ast ribbon how many new Scott hats were in the congregation, how many made- over hats were there or how many of the Opposition across the street dared flaunt their plumes in the Scotts' church on Easter Sunday. Skill has been a tradition with us for over a quarter of a century. LEWIS - OPTOMETRISTS 3 KING ST. E DIAL 5-0444 your feet healthy.

CLEVELAND MYERS From what you and I have heard and read in recent months, there are fewer claims from edu- cators for sensational new de- partite in teaching and admin trative methods than there were five or ten years ago. The educa- tional trends have grown less ex- treme. This fact especially impressed me as I listened in on many of the general and special group discussions at the recent annual National Convention' of School Administrators and specialists in educational research at Atlantic City. NUMEROUS APPROACHES Again and again, I heard the statement, in effect, that here was one method, though there may be other ways as good or better. For example, in the section on ways of teaching citizenship at school, in which many partici pated, representing various sec- ons of the nation, numerous ap- proaches to the problem were pre- sented, no one person being very cocky about his way. There did seem to be consider- able evidence that children and youths ing and thinking to- gether about desirable standards and ways of behaving away from school, as well as at school, can have good values. Nowhere did I hear that character and citizen- ship can't be taught by words-- an idea so widely expressed not many years ago. ARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP One speaker from the floor put it this way: How effective words ¢[falk In School Administrators Discuss Modified Educational Trends can be for motivating good char- acter and citizenship depends on how the child and parent and the child and teacher feel toward each other. The old-fashioned emphasis on parental example was heard and nobody ridiculed it. One speaker proposed that winning the child's abiding affection and esteem was important, So when you a lovely, companionable manner with your son or daugh- ter now and then about ways of doing right, you are not so out of style as you might have been a de- cade ago. CHARACTER EDUCTION In several meetings, school men were urged to Support character- education groups like the Scouts Cubs, Camp Fire Girls and 4-H Clubs, in a noticeably forthright and positive manner. The student council in the grades or high school was re- ported from various sections as no longer being a court to try and to discipline schoolmates. It was seen as growing more concerned with discussion of standards of be- havior and citizenship, leading to codes of conduct by which the Jus ority of students might choose ve. There was also emphasis on central religious ideals on which our government and public schools were based by the founding fathers.

MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL Wife Disturbed Dear Mary Haworth: Will you kindly tell me how to deal with those female wolves who always seem to ehioy going to a party without their husbands? .My husband and I have been married happily for 10 years and have two children whom we love and enjoy. John is tall, nice-look- ag and has a nice Forsonaiity When we go out socially together and there is a loose female around, she immediately seems to start fluttering her eyelashes and trail- a him for the night. know, of course, that a man is a man and, although he never takes the initiative, his ego is boosted no end. What should I do? Ignore it and end up having a miserable time myself? Or be the ssessive type and hang on to im like a leech? I suppose I would be classed as the quiet type, although I can hold my own in a conversation; but I can't force my attention on some- one when my heart isn't in it. I would greatly appreciate it if you would J lp me solve this situation, SHE'S LOOKING FOR FOES Dear E.P.: You are the jealous wife of a rather weak husband, it seems. And for the discomfort of this highly insecure alliance, you blame an endless procession of other women who happen to flirt with John in passing. No doubt an analyst, confronted with this problem, would uncover wheels within wheels in your smouldering attitude. For example it is obvious that you are loaded with hostility, to- wards women especially--as you disclose in the hissing phrase age lems wolves who always seem to en 0in; 0 parties without their husbands." Uneonzelonsly you are looking for trouble with women, and by this disposition you perpetuate dis- turbing experiences in which they figure. This basic {ll will in your feeling for womankind may stem at Behavior Of Unattached Women at Parties from acute early difficulties in relation to your mother; and might also explain your neurotic affinity for a spouse who lacks emotional integrity. SEEKING HATE FUEL In short, one sees a possibility that you gravitated to the sort of man who, as husband, would give you insidious trouble with women, by encouraging familiarities -- a performance that would keep you in hot water, seemingly unable to protest without making matters worse. The unconscious neurotic aim of such a choice might be to get involved in no end of plaus- ible *justification" for h ating women; and for despising yourself, and distrusting the whole human race. If you were socially self-confi- dent, and your husband trust- worthy, predatory females on the loose wouldn't disturb you. Thus you see they aren't really the prob- lem, and in feuding with them you aren't solving anything. You are swinging wild, hitting at symp- toms, not the cause. The only anti dote to your misery is to outgrow the infantile anxious orientation to John, and the blind hostility to- allergic to party coquettes.

Elastic for men's, women's and children's underwear is in some styles, sewn directly to the top edge of the garment. In other cases it runs free in a casing that makes it much easier to replace. Many s have lained that the stitched-down elastic does not last the life of the garment, often separates and is very difficult to remove for repair. These two facts are the result of CAC inquiry: There are brands of underwear made with "free-run- ning" elastic. If this is the type you prefer, look for them. If they are not available, ask your retailer to order them for you. He will know where to secure them. The stitched on elastic is very satisfactory if you are a careful buyer. It requires more careful sel- ection and reliance on "brand" in- tegrity. Some manufacturers will guarantee the stitched on elastic for the life of the garment. In these cases, if the leastic fails before the garment wears out, they will, of course, replace the garment. If you buy the garment with the sewn- on elastic, ask your retailer if the manufacturer gives this guarantee.
