Headgear for the Summer
By HELEN HENNESSY
Women's Editor
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
NEW YORK — (NEA) —
Summer is the time to let
fringe benefits go to your
head.
Pompons, tassels, cords and
braids, borrowed from their
usual uses in home decorat
ing now are making delightful
additions to summer hats and
hairdos
Spice up an old beach hat
or custom-design a new one
with a brimful of Pom-Decor,
bright cotton pompons strung
together on a glass fiber core.
Add to the fun by cutting a
small slit in the hat brim,
bringing the trim through the
slit and making a braid with
two lengths of white cotton
cord.
Other trims make great dis
guises for fresh-from-the
pool hairdos. Twine a length
bf cotton cord in with your
own damp locks, add a tassel
or two and your coiffure is
charming.
For sheer glamor on a sum
mer night, hairstylist, Mon
sieur Roland of the Enrico
Caruso Salon in New York
braided a length of black
pompons into white boucle
fringe. A piece of fine wire
threaded invisibly through
the braid added enough back
bone to keep it prettily curled
at the end.
Another glamorous treat
ment by the hairstylist begins
with a braid made from white
cotton cord and glittering
gold rope and ends with two
Eairs of gold chair tassels.
ittle velvet bows were at
tached here and there.
Such pretty hairpieces at
tach easily by looping over
your own pony tail or catch
ing onto a small comb.

POLLY’S POINTERS
Carpet Scraps
Mr (Sw
“jo/
DEAR POLLY — My Pointer
is for Tess who wanted to make
a rug out of carpet scraps. My
aunt and I made a beautiful
room-sized rug in oblong strips, :
as well as a round rug one-yard
in diameter in a crazy quilt sty
le. We used burlap for the base ,
and that milky white all-purpose
glue glued the pieces to the bur
lap after they were placed quite
close to each other. They must
be close, then pounded down so
the carpet adheres to the base.
—HELEN.
DEAR POLLY — If one lacks
the patience to make a rug out
of leftover carpet scraps I sug
gest she, cut a strip the length
of the wood on a pants hanger.
Glue a carpet strip to one side
and a piece of felt on the other
side unless there is already
one on it. I used a razor to cut
the carpet. When you put a pair
of pants in such a hanger they
are on to stay and will not slip
out. — MRS. G. 8.8.
DEAR POLLY — Do tell Tess
that my husband and I made
a wall-to-wall carpet for our bed
room from foot-wide strips of
carpeting. We made sure the
edges were perfectly straight so
they would meet evenly. These
strips were sewed together with
transpamt nylon fishing line
(it is blue on the spool but will
sew in colorless) run through a
large needle. Make each stitch 1
from the back and then the same !
on the other side. Pull the need-1
le up through one side and then
up through the other, pulling the j

The seams are invisible after a I

DEAR READERS — I like the

line. Another reader, Ray, who
sewed his pieces together to
make a den rug ironed binding
tape over the sewn seams for
j a nicer finish on the back.
Mrs. W.M. has been working 1
in a carpet shop and she sug- I
gested putting a rug tube or
something similar under the
two pieces of carpet to be sewn
together for a smooth and easy
job. She then rubs the finished
seam with something hard to
really flatten it. Having no rug I
or carpet tube I found a round I
hair spray can worked just fine. I
Mrs. W.M. also rubs the back !
and the edges with a commer- j
cial liquid backing. — POLLY. I

' A Party in a Living Room?

I do not know if this is a first of some
kind or if it indicates a new trend but I do
think I should report it. Bob Honey and I
went to a party the other night and believe
it or not the hostess had the party in the
living room!
What happened was that we rang the bell
; and went in and were shown into the front
room and left there. I did notice a few
couples sort of cowering over in one corner
but I looked around for the way to the
basement as I usually do. However, Bob,
who is very quick to notice things himself,
pointed out there were plates on the dining
room table! He whispered quietly to me,
1 “Play it cool, Sweetie—l think they mean for
us to STAY up here!”
I guess the poor things in the corner didn’t
know how to act because obviously they had
never attended a party like this. ’ It started
coming back to me right away. I mean, I can
vaguely remember my mother giving parties
and back then people were always invited
into the living room. That’s the truth! I
think I even have some old snapshots around
to prove it.
It was nice. 1 didn't even need the extra

sweater I always take to parties. I bring a
sweater because I find cellars are cool. Also
damp.
Well, the hostess acted as though it were
okay that we stayed upstairs and after a
while we sat on the chairs and sofa and
everything. This is startling I know, but do
you know what happened then? She had food
on the dining room table! I mean it was all
right out there with forks and everything
and it was obvious we were supposed to eat.
Although most of the guests were around the
age of 40,1 would say this was a brand new
experience for many of us. Most people
have you down in the basement where you
sit on cushions made of seven empty juice
cans tied together and covered with gailv
colored corduroy. Mostly the only things to
eat are bowls of dip. The dip is usually
covered with bits of broken potato chips.
The evening was such a success. Nobody
poured anything onto the nice rug or wiped
their shoes on the new sofa or got dirty
handprints on the walls or anything. In fact,
I heard several women say things like “Gee,
why didn’t I think of this!” and “We have
the nicest living room—we might even end
up enjoying it.”
