Select Styles That Boys Will Like If your little boy’s inspiration has been his big brother who more re cently was perhaps a sailor, let that be your cue in selecting a style for the boy’s playsuit. This can be made in a denim which is so right for rough and tumble play, and the style of the regular sailor suit may be followed exactly. Pants may be long or short de pending upon the season for which you anticipate the most wear, but most boys four years old and over will probably insist on long pants. Make the trousers so they will lace in the back, “just like real sailor pants.” Place stripes on the cuffs of the long-sleeved jacket, and if the boy desires, an insignia on the sleeve. To simplify dressing in this type of suit, you might find it more prac tical to have buttons high on the shoulder. This model also can be made with a striped top and solid color pants. Here again, select materials that will take the rough and tumble wear that little boys will give the suit. Another adaptation of the suit above is to make pants with straps that fold over in the back so that the boy can button them himself. Smart Boys? Clothing. Use light or dark pants with a con trasting colored shirt in regulation style. Short pants will be more practical for warmer weather. Corduroy is a good fabric in which to carry out the latter of the above ideas as it will wear well and laun der easily. Boys find it very wear able. If you thought that your son’s snow suit would last the winter and now are finding that it just won’t do, then hurry out to buy some wa ter-repellent, windproof cloth, for snow suits are easOy made at home. You also will want to buy some warm wool flannel for lining in a Woman's World Use Custom Tailoring to Make Boys’ Clothes Very Masculine (J2y. £rtta ^J4a£e C'OR THE mother who has a son 1 and daughter both close in age, it’s somehow a temptation to sew for the little girl and let the boy wear just whatever happens to fall his way. Mothers wail that little can be done to make a boy’s clothing look attractive, but actually this isn’t the case at all. Naturally you avoid like the plague anything whimsical or "cute” in the small boy’s clothing. If he’s the little man his Dad thinks he is and should be, the boy won’t like the clothing, and will prefer dragging out his denims and sweat shirt. Fortunately for the busy mother, it’s preferable to sew all boys’ cloth ing on the machine, both for reasons of appearance and sturdiness. Good quality material, smart and appropriate styling, and good work manship are prime assets in boys’ clothing. All three of these are found only in the more expensive clothes, so the home sewer has a distinct advantage when she makes the garments for nominal cost at home. For a source of material, she can first look about the home. Some of Dad’s things perhaps can be recon verted, but only those materials which look well on the boy should be used. Material may also be pur chased outright, but it may be far Jonny creates this bag for the thrifty woman who wants high fashion at a low price. It is tri angular in shape, and fashioned of black and white plastic, high lighted with three tortoise shell wings and panier handle. Side zip per makes it easily accessible. dark solid color or a dark plaid and some elastic knit to use at the an klets and wrists. Any variations of color may be tried, but the dark colors relieved by touches of bright elastic knit will not show soil so easily. Instructions Given For Making Snow Suit Snow suits should be made roomy enough for the active play in which children engage, but they should neither bag nor sag, as this makes the child uncomfortable. A draw string may be used at the waist, or, if you prefer, an elastic band that nips in the waist may be inserted. Careful tailoring and fitting will produce an admirable little snow suit for the smaU fellow, and if you work well, the stitches and other de tails will well repay your effort in their smart appearance as well as durability. If you buy some elastic knit for anklets and wrists, you might go a step further and construct a match ing helmet which will keep the youngster’s ears warm while he plays in the cold. Mittens of the same material are practical, too. At tach heavy cord connecting the mit tens, and slip the cord into the sleeves and around the back so mit tens won’t get lost when he removes them. For indoor play, work smocks serve the little lad nicely. These may be cut long and loose to allow for freedom of action, and they should be made to button sim ply a little to one side. If made long enough, they save paints, clay and crayons from soiling the trous ers, and offer a fine solution to keep ing the lad’s clothing in a neat state while he plays indoors. Thrifty Tips No scrap of material in the home, however small, should ever be wasted. Use these ideas for quick reference on what to do with your old materials. When sheets wear °ut, use the unworn parts for tea or dish tow els. They work beautifully since they are soft and absorbent as well as lint-free. Other ideas for using sheets are diapers, baby bands, dustcloths, pillow cases and small luncheon cloths or doi lies. Use attractive edging or stitch them decoratively if you want to get fancy. Towels wear out in the middle, but the ends are usually perfect ly good. Use these for washcloths and crochet decoratively around the edges, and you’ll always have enough of this item which is hard to obtain right now. These good ends of heavy toweling may also be used for filler, for pot holders and covered with chintz or oilcloth. If light summer frocks are no longer wearable, use them for little girl dresses, or make dainty hankies for them out of this soft, easy laundering material. A ski jacket that fits smoothly around the hip line has the usual drawstring type belt line, but goes dress parade with a vividly red, gold and black Scotch plaid dickey in serted in the jacket. The jacket it self is beige colored ski cloth mate rial, featherweight but impervious to blasts of wind and weather. Ski suits are lightweight and wa ter-repellent. They are practical, too. Released by Western Newspaper Union. By VIRGINIA VALE T IME was when a motion pic ture actor was just an actor; very few Hollywood stars went in for business enterprises on the side. But nowadays there’s hardly one who isn’t emulating Bing Crosby in making money earn money. Alan Ladd not long ago bought a partnership in a Santa Monica restaurant. And Bill Holden, while working in “Dear Ruth,” joined Arthur Treacher, band leader Carl Hoff and radio producer Andrew G. Hickox in organizing Hickox Productions, Inc., a radio transcription company which will syndicate musical and dramatic shows to radio stations across the country. Oh yes—Holden also has invested money in a helicopter man ufacturing concern. * Joyce Reynolds is back at War ner Bros, after an eighteen-months absence from movies. Her last pic- JOYCE REYNOLDS ture was “Janie”; her next one will be “The Wallflower,” a comedy, based on the play of the same name. Robert Hutton will co-star. -ifc- A navy blue ski jacket has a deep square outline yoke with a simulat ed diamond quilted effect, each dia mond point flashing with a red stone. A fourth jacket of butter beige color has a shoulder strap of deep blue attached to a decorated pocket. The pocket is decorated with felt flowers. Tuck-in jackets on ski and skat ing clothing will make them very comfortable. Jack Baker has one of the oddest jobs in Hollywood; he makes plas tic barnacles for all pier, dock and wharf sequences in Warner Bros, films. He also equips houses with artificial icicles—shapes them by hand from cellophane and silicate of soda, then dips them in alcohol to make them brittle. You’ll see some of his best in Errol Flynn’s “Never Say Goodbye.” —* Nanette Parks, who’s been under contract to Paramount for the last year, received a wonderful present for her 21st birthday—the lead in “Catalina,” a Technicolor musical. Sterling Hayden will be one of her leading men, and Olga San Juan, Cass Daley and Billy De Wolfe head the supporting cast. The picture is slated to go before the cameras very soon. Considering the high price of bak ery goods, it’s disconcerting to learn that eight pies were wasted on the set of “It’s a Wonderful Life,” for a scene in which Todd Karns had to walk while balancing a pie on his head. After the eighth pie hit the dust the property man, Lou Hafely, deflated the pie tin and inserted two pins on each side for balance; the ninth pie stayed put. It’s no wonder that the girls like to work for Director Mitchell Lei- sen; stars like Paulette Goddard and Olivia de Havilland say they do, and more and more of the top notchers are asking to be assigned to his films. He’s introduced a new meth od in “Suddenly It’s Spring”—holds rehearsals without make-up for the first hour or two, so the girl’s don’t have to report at the crack of dawn. * Bing Crosby, who has crooned in 47 languages, including Esperanto, will sing a typical Brazilian song in Portuguese in “Road to Rio”; his tutor is Louis Oliveira, who’ll act as technical advisor on the picture. As in the four previous “Road” pic tures, Crosby will be teamed with Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour, with Norman McLeod directing. Daniel Dare is producing for Paramount. Most musical plays or films have not more than half a dozen new tunes, but nearly every Abbott and Costello air show^this season has in cluded a specially written musical number in which the theme dove tails with the story line of the Thurs day NBC broadcast. To compose a special musical production each week is no small assignment. * RKO’s tentatively titled “Kami kaze” will include confiscated Japa nese film never before seen by the public. More than a million feet of the film were studied before the film used in the pictuc^ was decided on. ODDS AND ENDS—"Juvenile Jury," filmed by Universal Pictures, has been released throughout the country. . . . Ed "Archie?’ Gardner has completed final sketches for his cartoon strip which will he based on the happenings at "Duffy’s Tavern.’’. .. Paulette Goddard’s wardrobe in "Unconquered” is costing Paramount $10,000, we’re told—though she has the role of a slave girl, dressed mostly in homespun. . . . When something good happens to Larry Haines of "Young Dr. Malone" he attributes it to the tie he’s wearing and continues to wear the same one till his luck changes. Serve Waffles for Any 6ccasion!
