version of the O’Neill play, “Mourn

couple of weeks at Palm Springs
resting up preparatory to working
in that one, set to go before the

Danny Kaye’s 1947 picture is all
set; called, at present, “That’s
Life,” it revolves around the central
character of a professor of serious
music who becomes involved in an
academic analysis of jazz. We hear
it’ll be Kaye’s most elaborate musi

Pat Buttram, comedian of the Sat
urday Night Roundup, wanted some
patchwork quilts for his home, but
the prices asked in antique shops ap
palled him. So he wrote to friends
in Alabama who used to make quilts
by the dozen, found he could buy
them for $3.50 and got started or
dering quilts and couldn’t stop. So
now the situation’s reversed—he’s
looking for customers for patchwork
quilts.

Ezio Pinza, Metropolitan Opera
star who has added greatly to his
popularity by doing guest shots on
the radio, has signed with United
Artists for three years. YouTl see
him in “Carnegie Hall” before long;
after that, in “Babes in Toyland.”
Rise Stevens, star of the Sunday
“Family Hour,” tells this one on
herself. One season when she was
leaving Prague for an opera tour of
Europe, Walter Surovy, whom she’d
met there, said “Write to me when
you have a chance. I’m collecting
stamps.” Not a line did he get from
her, not a stamp. But he must have
learned a more romantic approach
somewhere — she finally married
him!
Jim Backus, best known for his
“Hubert Updike III” role on the
Alan Young show, plans a club
called “Millionaires Anonymous”;
says it’ll be made up of busy radio
stooges whose names don’t mean
much to the public, but whose week
ly incomes pass the four-figure
mark. Take Jim’s case; besides his
Friday night stint with Alan, he’s
frequently heard with Fibber McGee
and Molly, Bob Bums, Jack Carson
and Jack Benny.

Professor Quiz (heard now on

Ten years ago the network was try

WOMAN'S WORLD
Full Length Coats Easily Made
Into Fashion-Wise Shorties
(f3u £rtta
WHEN you can convert old coats
into something fashionable and ex
ceedingly wearable, it’s like finding
a bargain that you didn’t expect.
Yet, there are very few woolens that
cannot be made fashionwise and
practical.
Taka an outmoded, full length
spring coat which now looks shabby
and extremely unwearable. This
can be completely re-cut and made
into one of the new coats with a full,
rippling back, and full push-up
sleeves, if you desire. Yes, even
the lining, if it will still give wear,
can be used for the new coat.
When you are making something
new out of something old, always
select a pattern that is simple. You
will have to make the old fabric do,
and there is usually not enough to
plan on for lots of extra detaiL
However, it is a matter of prac
tical experiment that a full length
coat, even though it has rather nar
row shoulders and sleeves, can be
made into a new shortie coat with
fashion features such as the full back
and new, wide sleeves.
But how is this done, you ask?
Well, by clever piecing, of course.
You may use a tweed coat, if you
wish, but if you are still somewhat
of an amateur in this business of
sewing, I’d suggest working with a
solid color that is easier to match
in the intricate job of cutting and
fitting together properly.
Preparation of Material
Precedes Cutting
It’s no fun working with a dusty
piece of fabric. Do have it cleaned
first, as this will make it easier
to see just what you have for work
ing. And another thing, if the old
coat has faded, it’s perfectly pos
sible to have the material dyed ei
ther commercially or at home be
fore you do any cutting at all.
Woolens dye nicely if you use a dye
suitable for the material and work
If you have an outmoded coat . . .
with the directions instead of against
them. I can guarantee they will be
soft and pliable to the touch.
If you have a light blue coat that
has faded in spots, dye the whole
thing a navy, which will cover faded
portions. A yellow coat which looks
rather soggy can be dyed with blue
to give you one of the popular
new greens. Brown dyed with red
gives a lovely reddish brown, while
an orange dyed with purple gives
a nice rust shade.
After the material has dried, it
should be pressed smooth just as
would any other woolen garment.
Use a damp cloth, and not too hot
an iron and keep going over the
damp cloth long enough to dry it
out and make the wool smooth.
Recut and sew it into a fashionable one.
Hang for a few minutes to permit
a thorough drying of the materiaL
If the wool has worn badly, plan
to use the wrong side of the ma
terial as your right side- it will look
more fresh and new.
Finish Coat With Lining,
Shoulder Pads
There are so many types of shoul
der pads now available that it prob
ably will not be necessary for you to
make your own. However, you will
want to select them with care. If
your coat has a soft shoulder line,
you will not want too large pads.
Choose something that will make the
coat look truly casual.

Of •The Moody Bible IneUtute of ChicafO.
Released by Western Newspaper Union.
s
LESSON FOR MARCH 16
A smart teen-age choice for the
social-minded miss is this dressmak
er suit so fitted for social or business
gathering. Young dressmakers will
find it easy to style in plain gray or
beige gabardine that combines well
with light or dark accessories.
If, on the other hand, you have a
coat with a boxy look and one that
shows a great deal of shoulder in
terest, it’s best to select heavier
pads. The size of the "pads in each
shoulder can vary, depending upon
how your shoulders line up with each
other.
When the coat is completely fin
ished it’s ready for the lining, which
should be of a smooth, closely woven
material that wears well. The lining
may have an extra fold at the back
to give you a feeling of roominess.
The sewing on the lining is done
much as that on a dress would be.
The important thing is to cut it to
fit and then sew the seams and
slipstitch into place. The coat, nat
urally, is hemmed before the lining
is added, as lining and coat are
separate.
You can save yourself a lot of
time in fitting the lining if the coat
is turned inside out. Also, press the
seams of the lining flat after you fin
ish sewing it.
Pinning and basting will help you
keep the lining in place while you do
the slipstitching. Try the coat on
after basting to see whether or not
you feel comfortable in it. Move
the arms about to make certain
there is enough roominess.
Choosing Fabrics
If you’ve decided you want
gathers in your next dress, here’s
the way to select a suitable fab
ric. Gather the material in your
hands, as you would in gathering
it, and see whether it lies in soft
gathers or whether it juts out at
angles.
If you want pleats in your next
dress, you must look for a fab
ric that has a certain crispness
or wariness, or you will constant
ly have to press in your pleats.
If you can crease the fabric and
have the mark remain readily,
you can be sure the material will
pleat.
When you are making a wool
en dress, always select a light
weight wool. Heavier woolens are
made only for suits or coats, and
are somewhat difficult to work
with.
If you’ve decided on ruffles ga
lore, choose a fabric that has
some crispness like organdie,
marquisette, etc. You’ll also do
wisely choosing a fabric that has
a permanent finish.
For dresses with straight clas
sic lines, choose a material that
has some body, and one that will
hang straight easily without too
much tugging. Firmness of fab
ric is very important here.
For dresses with draped ef
fects, choose a fabric that has
softness but enough weight, and
not too much stiffness.
For dresses that have a soft
ness, choose fabrics that seem to
mold themselves easily like ray
on, crepe or silk.
A hovel type of hat recently seen
is the draped hat. This is carefully
molded to the head and gives the
wearer a rather sculptured look.
You’ll be seeing lots of laces and
chiffons used about the bodice and
the neckline in the new fashions.
Bertha yokes and shawls are being
used for effect in many new collec
tions.
The trim look is very evident in
the new spring hats. You’ll find
small brims, cloches and other
styles, but many of them look re
strained.
Jackets on dresses and suits show
a wide variety. There's everything
from the neat and short bolero to
the long cutaway types, and even
tunic styles.

INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP WITH
CHRIST
LESSON TEXT—John M-18: 19:1-S.
MEMORY SELECTION — Ye are my
friends. If ye do whatsoever I command
you.—John 13:14.
The hour had come for our Lord’s
final intimate words with his dis
ciples. It was indeed a solemn, but
also a blessed, hour.
I It was the night before the dark
est day in the world’s history. On
the morrow the Son of man was. to
■ hang on Calvary’s tree for the sins
of the world—for your sins and for
mine. But for the moment he was
alone with his disciples.
The last Passover had been eaten
together, the betrayer had been dis
covered, and the Lord has told them
that he was soon to go where they
could not follow. Peter had, by his
bold self-assurance, brought forth
the prophecy of his denial.
The disciples were disturbed in
heart and mind. Then came from
the Saviour’s lips the) words of com
fort, assurance and power which
have been the strength and solace of
his people through all the centuries.
Our life both here and hereafter is
in his mighty hands.
We learn in this precious portion
of Scripture that
I. The Christian Need Not Be
Fearful (14:1-6).
That is indeed a good word—a
needed word! Troubled hearts are
everywhere—in the palace and in
the cottage, on land, in the air and
on the sea. There is a place of
rest, thank God! There is One who
still sfeaks the majestic words,
“Let not your heart be troubled,
believe in God, believe also in
me.
His comfort is one which covers
the future life, for he says, “I go
to prepare a place” (v. 2). Concern
about future destiny is settled at
once when Christ Jesus becomes
our Lord and Saviour. We need
worry no longer. He has gone on
before to the Father’s house to pre
pare a place for his own. When we
come to that ever-peaceful shore
we shall not come as strangers, but
as sons and daughters to a pre
pared place in our Father’s house.
His words, “I will come again”
(v. 3), gives present meaning to the
future promise. He not only pre
pared the place, but he it is who
brings us there. The glorious hope
of his coming again is the Chris
tian’s greatest comfort and might
iest incentive to useful, holy living.
U. The Christian Need Not Be
Powerless (14:12-15).
Christ’s followers are not here in
a world of sin and need as a little
group of hymn-singing weaklings,
thinking only of the day when they
shall be in a brighter land. Ah, yes,
they sing hymns and rejoice in
them; they look for a better land;
their weapons of warfare are not
carnal. But weaklings? Oh, no! God
uses them to do great and mighty
things for his glory.
Note the blessed words of Jestis,
“He that believeth on me” (v. 12).
The army of God carries the royal
banner of faith in a living Christ.
“Greater works . . . shall he do”
(v. 12). Jesus only began his work
on earth; its greatest development
was to be the joyous privilege of his
followers. We are ashamed that we
have not lived up to this great prom
ise, but by his grace we will do bet
ter.
“If ye ask ... I will do” (v. 14).
Someone has called this a signed
blank check on all the resources of
God.
III. The Christian Need Not Be
Distressed (14:16-18).
The Holy Spirit, promised by
Christ as the abiding comforter,
came so to abide in the believer on
the day of Pentecost (Acts 2).
■ The ministries of the Holy Spirit
I are many, but here the emphasis
; is on his work as Comforter. What
a blessed and helpful ministry, and
how much needed by distressed and
disturbed souls! The Christian may
count on him — and not be dis
tressed.
IV. The Christian Need Not Be
Detached (15:1-6).
What is worse than the feeling
that one does not belong to any
one else, that one is a detached
individual! That is never true of
the believer in Christ. We are as
close to him as the branch is to the
vine. We are in him.
j Christ is the vine, and the be
liever as a true branch is united
with him. There is a oneness here
which is difficult to express, but de
lightful to receive and believe. He
who is the vine needs no cleansing,
but the branch needs constant, daily
purification by the word. Are we
permitting God’s Word to keep us
clean? Only if we are reading it,
studying it, meditating upon it.
There is, moreover, a severer type
of purging to yhich the husband
man subjects the vine that it may
bear more richly, and that is prun
ing (v. 2).
Some branches must be cut away
altogether and burned (▼. 6). They
lack the evidence of life — fruit
bearing—and must be destroyed.

Let Children Entertain
Their Young Friends
At Home Suppers
When serving supper to a gang of
teen-agers, prepare a casserole as
illustrated here, and let the young
sters serve themselves. Complete
the main course with a tossed salad.
If you’re one of the many mothers
worried about where your teen-aged
children spend
their recreation
and leisure time,
then start doing a
little hinting that
it would be nice
occasionally to
entertain their
friends at home.
You can enlist
the help of other
mothers in the neighborhood and
plan a series of suppers or evening
snacks for the younger crowd, and
in this way, have some idea of where
the children spend their idle hours.
Daughters, and sons, too, will be
glad to cooperate with mother in
“cooking up" something super spe
cial in the way of refreshments
which should be simple but good to
eat.
If you want to have a snack par
ty for the youngsters, here’s an easily
planned and executed snack idea:
Salmon Salad Bread Box
Pickles and Olives Potato Chips
Dutch Apple Cake Ice Cream
Milk or Chocolate
The salad loaf can be made ahead
of time and set in the refrigera
tor for chilling, then removed at
serving time and sliced.
Salmon Salad Bread Box.
(Serves 6 to »
1 tall can red salmon
1 tablespoon plain gelatin
2 tablespoons lemon juice
y* teaspoon salt
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
>4 teaspoon grated onion
Vi cup salad dressing
1 loaf (small) unsliced white bread
Drain salmon; remove skin and
bones. Flake fish into small pieces.
Soften gelatin with lemon juice and
dissolve over hot water. Add sea
sonings and salad dressing; combine
with salmon, mixing thoroughly.
Trim crusts from bread; cut thick
slice off top of loaf. Remove inside
of loaf leaving a wall about % inch
thick. Fill box with salmon mix
ture; replace top slice of bread,
pressing it in gently. Chill thorough
ly. When ready to serve spread top
and sides with extra salad dress
ing and garnish with ripe or stuffed
green olives. Serve in slices.
Another easy type of dinner to
serve is an oven stew with a simple
ii tossed salad.
W? Both of these can
^ be prepared
ahead of time,
and finished up
by the gang, if
necessary. For
dessert, serve
something frozen
because of the convenience of prep
aration.

Aircraft carriers of the U. S.
navy are maneuvered today in
small areas by the propeller force
of their own planes when tugs are
not available.
« For instance, if 10 planes ere
lined up facing starboard on one
end of the flight deck and 10 are
lined up facing port on the other
end, all securely lashed, the pro
pellers of each group, pulling in
opposite directions, will turn the
