TX^HEN children are growing by
’ leaps and bounds, it’s some
times a difficult job to keep up their
wardrobes. If the mother is handy
with the needle, the youngster
is lucky because he or she can al
ways be kept in suitable toggery.
Just consider the position of the
average family. Dad’s shirts can
always be converted into boy’s
shirts for junior, pinafores or
dresses and blouses can also be used
for dresses, blouses and skirts for
the younger girls.
When making clothing for the
younger members, particularly in
using old material, suitability should
be carefully considered. Some
plaids and print"! used for mother’s
dresses or dad’s shirts may be per
fectly stunning on the adult, but very
poor for the young child.
If there is enough fabric only for
a skirt, make that out of plain or
print, with little straps if there is
enough material, and let the child
wear a blouse of contrasting mate
rial.
Classic Styles Popular
For Girl’s Dresses
Fortunately little girl's dresses
vary little from year to year. You
can buy several good basic patterns
and use them again and again, with
just slight variations. If you are
good at alteration, you might even
use these patterns for several
years, simply taking them in when
you first get them, and then letting
them out after a few months or
years as the girl grows.
Jumpers with several changes of
blouses are very much acceptable
for the girl under and slightly over
10. If you are using a heavy mate
rial such as corduroy, be sure that
the lines of the garment follow the
rule of strict simplicity.
Princess style dresses with but
tons all the way down the front are
very attractive on the immature fig
ure. This type of dress may be made

in any type of material and may
also have a variety of trimmings.
You’ll want contrasting color tape
on some, bric-a-brac on others and
perhaps embroidery on still others
if you have the time and are so
inclined.
Growing girls particularly need
gored or full skirts, the basque type
being very popular. It will particu
larly please them if the garment has
some grown-up feature like a plain
colored bodice with a matching
print in the skirt.
If your youngster is old enough,
let her work out some of the deco
rative details of the dress herself.
She may be interested in sewing a
feather-stitch around a full skirt, for
example; or perhaps, she has
learned some interesting weaving or
braiding at school with which she
might like to trim the collar, pock
ets or sleeves.
Speaking of pockets, these are a
very handy feature in the young
ster’s dress. Children just adore
them, and they can easily carry
decorative detail that will make the

dress unusually attractive and en
dearing to the little girl.
If you are making a dress out of
old things of your own or out of
dad’s shirts, and find that you are
short of material, you might try a
band along the hem, around the
sleeves and neck in a contrasting
color. This will not only add length
to the dress, but is a very smart
feature in youngster’s clothing.
If the girl is in the under 10 group
and you are making skirts and
Sashed Slimness
A sashed waistline slims this
full skirted sun-dress. Slit pockets
are set in at the rounded hipline
and the low-square neckline is
held up by a wide halter. The jacket
and top of the dress are made of
red and “white coffee” striped
balloon cloth.
blouses for her, consider them as
separate garments. When you fin
ish them, however, sew a tape
around the waist of the skirt and
place button holes all around it.
Then sew buttons on the blouse so
that the two can be attached to
gether. In this way you prevent
the blouse from gaping from under
neath the skirt, and this is especial
ly important if the girl likes active
play.
Shirtwaist effects are popular in
this age group and many tailored
dresses can be concocted from
shirts. If you have a blue or white
shirt, part of this might be made
into the bodice and the sleeves while
another shirt in a print might be
used for the skirt.
Buttons are used extensively on
children’s garments because they are
easy for the youngster to manipu
late. Furthermore, they are eco
nomical and add decoration even to
the simple dress.
Because of the many washings
which children’s garments must
take, always select a sturdy mate
rial that will not lose its color or
firmness of weave. A chiffon dress
may be available for remodel
ing and it might occur to you to
make a youngster’s dress out of it,
but neither the material nor its lack
of wearability is suitable for the
active girls under the age of 10.
Ironing Tricks
To iron sports dresses or
blouses with an action back, use
the small end of the ironing
board. Iron the gathers toward
the yoke then turn and face to
the wide end of the board so you
can iron down from the yoke to
the waist.
When ironing seams, nose the
iron under the seams (on the
wrong side) to eliminate seam
marks. When skirts are com
pletely ironed, turn to the right
side and finish off such details as
lapels, pockets, cuffs and hem.
When gored skirts are cut on
the bias, iron with the weave of
the cloth, keeping them smooth
and free of bulges at the seam.
Iron gently, smoothing the fab
ric as you go along, and do not
pull.
Pockets are important! Poorly
ironed, they look like something
that does not belong to the
dress. Turn the garment to the
wrong side, then to the right side
and press carefully into place.
Avoid a limp, hang-dog look in
pockets.
To iron zipper plackets, close
the zipper first and iron close to
the zipper with the nose of the
iron. Smooth out wrinkles on the
zipper tape, but never iron di
rectly on the zipper itself.
Iron tucks slowly until abso
lutely dry. For vertical tucks,
pull taut and iron lengthwise. On
horizontal tucks, start at the top
and iron downward.
Summer Fashion Notes
Simplicity of line offers real
beauty in summer styles; stress
medium prints rather than too large
designs.
Bathing suits are here to cater to
each taste. There are very brief
ones for sun-tanning; there are oth
ers that cover more of you if you
want to be conservative, like the
one-piece type, or the two-piece
with bloomers, skirt and halter top.
Striped dresses are always cool
and neat looking. Look for inter
esting buttons to relieve the tailored
look.
Beach coats are popular, too, and
a definite must for bathing activi
ties, particularly if you change at
home and want to walk to the
beach. They’re also protective when
you don’t want to expose yourself
to too much sun.
Lesson for July 14
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts ee-

Council of Religious Education; used by
permission.
JESUS AND SUPREME
LOYALTY TO GOD
LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:3-6: Joshua
24:16, 22-24; Luke 14:25-27.
MEMORY SELECTION—No man can
serve two masters: for either he will hate
the one. and love the other; or else he will
hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon.—Matthew
6:24.
The first three commandments
bring man into the presence of
God, where he is taught how to
worship God in spirit and in truth.
“The first commandment (Exod.
20:3) bids us worship God exclu
sively; the second (w. 4-6) bids us
worship him spiritually. The first
commandment forbids us to wor
ship false gods; the second forbids
us to worship the true God under
false forms” (Farrar).
We shall lose much of the value
of our lesson if we confine the ap
plication of it to Israel. We miss
the point if we think only of the
gods of wood and stone which the
heathen worship and fail to apply
the truth to any and all idol wor
ship of our day.
The loyalty to God of which our
lesson text leaches may be sum
marized in four words. It is a loy
alty of
I. Purpose (Exod. 20:3).
Jehovah means, “I will be what
I will be,” or “I am that I am,”
(Exod. 3:14). His very name de
clares God to be the self-existent,
eternal one. How infinitely gracious
then is the use of the word “thy”
in Exodus 10:2! He—the great I
AM—is my God, a personal God.
It must be our constant purpose to
worship him only.
There are many things concern
ing which we do not speak dogmat
ically. There are even Christian
doctrines about which spiritual and
earnest men may honestly differ,
but regarding God we say with ab
solute assurance and complete ex
clusiveness—there is but one true
God. If he is what he claims to be,
if God is not to be declared to be
a liar, then it is beyond the realm
of possibility that there could be
any other God.
Hear it, men and women of Amer
ica who in an enlightened land and
age bow down in heathenish wor
ship “before the god of gold, the
god of self, the god of wine, the
god of success, the god of fame,
the goddess of pleasure, the god of
licentiousness.” The one true God
says, “I am Jehovah. . . . Thou shall
have no other gods before me.”
II. Performance (Exod. 20:4-6).
What is in the heart must show
in the life. The second command
ment calls for the undivided devo
tion and worship of man. It
expressly forbids idolatry in any
form. The injunction is twofold. (1)
Men are forbidden to make any
material likeness which to them
represents a being to be worshiped.
It matters not whether it be an
image of what men believe God to
be like, or the image of an angelic
being, a heavenly body, in fact,
“anything that is in the heaven
above,” or on the earth, such as a
man or animal; or under the wa
ter, such as a fish. (2) If such ob
jects have been made either by our
selves or others we may not bow
down to them, nor render any serv
ice to them. Let us all examine our
religious ceremonies and practices
in the light of God’s commandment.
Observe that obedience to this
command brings rich blessing to
“thousands” (v. 6), whereas dis
obedience is a curse not only to the
man who disobeys, but also to his
descendants.
III. Promise (Josh. 24:16, 22-24).
Before the aged leader of Israel
came to the close of his life he
called leaders of the people, whom
he had led in the taking of the
Promised Land, and urged them to
continue In the way of faith and loy
alty to God.
They promised rather readily, but
he made clear to them that God
was not interested in lip service.
They were to prove their promise
by putting away all strange gods.
This they agreed to do. Wherein
they failed, they suffered defeat,
and wherein they kept their prom
ise, God blessed them. We may
learn from their experience.
IV. Practice (Luke 14:25-27).
It is not always necessary to
choose between our natural affec
tions for those near to us and our
loyalty to Christ, but if the time
comes for that decision, Christ must
come first without question and
without hesitation (cf. Matt. 10:37).
The word “hate” (v. 26) does not
carry with it any thought of malice
or personal dislike. We know from
other scriptures that we are to hon
or our father and our mother
(Exod. 20:12). The one who fails
his own is declared to be worse than
an infidel (I Tim. 5:8).
The point is that no personal loy
alty or responsibility is to stand in
the way of our devotion to Christ.
Our own lives must be counted as
a glad sacrifice to him as we take
up our cross—in the crucifixion of
self-will and devotion to his will
(see Gal. 2:20; 6:14).
Eat Outdoors!

plan to eat out- j
doors at least once a week this
summer?
Eating outdoors will get Mother
out of the sweltering kitchen for at
least two hours; it will give Dad
time to contemplate the beauties of
nature; and it will give youngsters
a chance to catch up on out-of-
doors secrets.
Outdoor eating is spoiled if there’s
too much fuss connected with it, so
plan everything as simply as pos
sible. The family will enjoy nib
bling on a chicken leg with their
fingers much more than trying to
carve a piece of pot roast for every
bite they take. If they don’t want
to wrestle with salads, take along
whole fruits like oranges and to
matoes, pears or grapes, or such
things as carrot sticks and celery
hearts and let them get their vita
mins that way.
If it’s pie or cake for dessert
they like, bake and leave in its pan,
as it’s easy enough to place that in
a box and slice as it’s needed on the
picnic.
Here’s an unusual way of prepar
ing potato salad that’s both flavorful
and easy to make. If you are hav
ing a light supper, you won’t need
extra meat:
Hot Potato-Sausage Salad.
(Serves 6)
1 pound sausage links
6 medium-sized potatoes
Vs cup minced onion
V* cup vinegar
3 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons sugar
Vi teaspoon salt
Pare potatoes and cook. Drain
and cut in Vi-inch squares. Place
sausage links in skillet and add a
small amount of water. Cover and
steam for 5 minutes. Drain off re
maining water and cook sausage
over low heat, turning to brown
evenly. Remove links from pan.
Add onion to drippings and brown.
Add vinegar, water, sugar and salt.
Stir and cook about 10 minutes.
Pour over potatoes. Top with sau
sage links.
Lynn Says:
Sandwiches for Summer: Nut
bread tastes mighty good when
spread with orange marmalade,
currant jelly and a grated rind
of lemon mixed with cream
cheese.
Or mix chopped, cooked fruits
with cream cheese and spread
on date bread.
Date paste or mixed dried
fruits ground into a paste and
mixed with cottage cheese offer
a taste treat on raisin brown
bread.
Cut peeled cucumber very fine,
mix with mayonnaise and give
it a dash of onion juice and
spread on thin slices of white
bread.
You’ll also like these combi
nations: cottage cheese with
grated carrots; apple butter with
raisins and chopped nuts; cream
cheese with finely ground, hard-
cooked egg and minced green
pepper.
Cottage cheese mixed with ripe
olives or green stuffed olives
gives an attractive color to pin-
wheel sandwiches.
Sweet salad desserts are excel
lent for strictly feminine lunch
eons. Diced canned cling peaches
plus assorted fruits, frozen in
gelatin-thickened whipped cream,
are tops.
For enjoyable eating, include
shiny black olives in your picnic
lunches. To keep them shiny and
to prevent shriveling, roll them
in a few drops of olive oil or salad
oil and wrap them in wax paper.

Fried Chicken.
Cut chicken into serving pieces.
Chicken may be dipped in seasoned
flour, corn meal
and flour, or
cracker crumbs
or flour. If a
heavier coating
is desired, dip in
egg, beaten
slightly, then in
flour coating. Use
heavy skillet and have 3 to 4 inches
of fat in it. Fry chicken on both
sides until golden brown. When
browned, turn fire down very low
and allow chicken to cook until ten
der—from 30 to 60 minutes depend
ing upon size of the pieces and age
of chicken. Or, if desired, finish
cooking in a moderate (350* oven).
If you prefer your chicken in a
loaf, bake it and when ready to
serve your picnic lunch, slice it
from the loaf for sandwiches, or
serve with tossed salad:
Chicken Loaf.
(Serves 8 to 10)
4 to 5 pound chicken, cut in pieces
1 small carrot
1 small onion
2 stalks celery

corns and salt.
Cover with cold
water and sim
mer until tender,
about 2 hours.
Strain chicken
stock and let
chicken cool.
Combine diced
chicken with remaining ingredients.
Add more seasoning if desired.
Place in a deep loaf pan and bake
in a moderate (350-degree) oven
for one hour or until firm.
A good salad to take in a well-

is this one that is light but chewy
and rich in vitamins:
Tonic Salad.
(Serves 6)
2 cups cabbage, sliced fine
1 cup grated carrot
1 cup chopped tart apple
Vs cup chopped green pepper
1 small onion, minced
Moisten all ingredients with a lit-

•Hot Milk Cake.
2 egg whites, beaten stiff
2 egg yolks, beaten light
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Vi cup hot milk
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Add yolks to egg whites, then

powder, then lastly add the butter.
Bake in a square pan in a moderate
oven for 25 to 30 minutes. When
cool, ice with:
Chocolate Frostiqg.
2 squares chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
Vi cup rich milk

Harness Horse Racing Has
Surprising Growth in U. S-
Harness horse racing has been
staged in the United States since
the early 1800s, yet it has received
little publicity because it has been
confined largely to county fairs,
says Collier’s. However, besides
being America’s number one rural
sport for many years, it probably
surpassed all others in growth
during the war.
Compared with the 1940 season,
the number of meets will increase
in 1946 from about 850 to 1,100, the
attendance from 15,000,000 to 20,-
000,000, and the purses from $2,-
000,000 to $4,000,000.
