The most important thing to consider here is whether or not the print is fast color. If it is fugitive, you're in for trouble. THE BEST PRECAUTION -- AND ONE THAT "WORKS" 100% OF THE TIME -- IS TO BUY ONLY, FABRICS WHICH ARE GUARANTEED COLOR FAST. And that ends your trouble. You then buy a print which is color fast, exercise^ reasonable precaution with it, and everybody is happy. However, such sweetness and light do not alw4ys prevail in this world. So here's a word of caution. Printed Jersey is one of the worst offenders in fugitive' prints. While not all printed jerseys are unserviceable, there are enough of them on the market so you'd be wise to be cautious. Nylon print ie often found which is unserviceable. Here again perhaps the best recommendation we can make is that you check to be sure when you buy that the fabric is color fast Uncured print*. In general, the whole subject of prints could be summarized under this one heading. Almost any printed fabric can stand ordinary cleaning procedures -- with the exception of bleaching and staining -- if the dyes used have been properly "fixed". This ordinarily meaps both curing the print for the prescribed length of time at the right temperature, using the propel mordant or fixing agent. Again, the (best recommendation is: ASK QUESTIONS -- LOOK AT THE LABELS. Prints that are color fast will be so described; those that are not color fast won't carry such a guarantee.

It's a family of dolls and Miss Louise Gardner, better known as the "Doll Lady," has been collecting them since she was a little girl a long time ago. Her "children" as she speaks of them, will now have a home in the Museum--known simply as the Gardner doll room, where the dolls in their best party clothes win be displayed so that even the youngest of the Museum's visitors can enjoy them too. The doll children range in age from a few years to more than a hundred and they come in assorted sices, colors, materials and costumes from all over the world. There are dolls of creamcolored soft china, of bisque, porcelain and wax, of wood and rags and straw, of corn husks, dried apples, hemp and tobacco leaves, of dried beans, shells, nuts and seeds.

Gnu Si. PhmM 40 McHuur, XH Pictured above is the most eloquent motor car ever to travel the world's highways. It's the great 1954 Cadillac--and it speaks not only with great eloquence, but is a language which is known and understood wherever there are roads to travel ... and people to behold. First of all, it speaks of its owner--the minute its beautiful hood comes into view. "Here is a man," it says--almost as plainly as the words are written here-- "who has earned the right to sit at this wheel--by his industry and deportment anil enterprise. Be he merchant or lawyer or businessman--or doctor or farmer or financier--the odds are great that he's a credit to his calling and to his fellow men. "Accept him accordingly--and you'll likely be right in your judgment." And then, as it comes closer, it speaks its special message for 1954. Its Beautiful silhouette--graceful, fref> flowing and dynamic--announces a whole new era in automotive design . . . "expect me to be copied for years to come!" And its smooth, silent, easy movemeti||ir a true symphony in motion as it glides past and on and away--says with clarity and eloquence that the wof formance has been raised again. And remember--the wonderful "voice" of a 1954 Cadillac, with its significant message, comes as a bonus, to the man who sits at the wheel. It comes in addition to all the priceless fundamentals which make a Cadillac a Cadillac: unrivalled endurance and dependability-- incomparable comfort and handling ease--and unbelievable economy ef upkeep and operation.
