Patchwork Quilting Is Back
WOMAN’S VIEW
By GAY PAULEY
DPI Women’s Editor
NEW YORK (UPD—A craft
almost as old as sewing Itself
now Is the hottest trend in the
world of high fashion.
It's patchwork quilting, a
craze in everything from
sportswear to the most glitter
ing of evening dresses.
Our mothers, grandmothers
and the generations before
them quilted patchwork cover
lets, plain and fancy, from
scraps of material left from
other sewing. Through the
years, the women became
artists, developing intricate
designs of florals and geome
tics. From the home craft
BETTY CANARY
Is 40 When
Life Begins?
By BETTY CANARY
This may be interpreted as either a warning or a tip to
June brides—take your choice—but I thought I should tell
them that if their luck is the same as mine, someday
their husbands will celebrate a 40th birthday. Today mine
is 40, plus one day, and life has returned to normal. But
yesterday, ah, yesterday, was an altogether different
thing.
I awakened (a bad omen to begin with) and realized
all was quiet. Where were the horrible morning sounds
that usually punctuated the moment? Where the sounds
of a tidal wave in the shower? Where the strains of “Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot!” sung to the accompaniment of
slammed dresser drawers?
“Wake up!” I said. He moaned.
“Happy birthday!” the children greeted. He jerked the
covers over his head. “Feel any different?” they cried.
He burrowed deeper.
“What did he say?”
“Something about being over the dam.”
“The highest dam is Hoover, which is 726 feet!”
“Maybe if I’d stayed a bachelor . . .” the voice groaned
from under the blankets.
“What did daddy say?”
“I think he’s crying!”
“Are you ill?” I inquired solicitously. “Shall 1 call the
doctor?”
“I have a headache,” the muffled voice whined. "I’ll
probably have to start wearing bifocals.”
“You don’t even wear reading glasses,” I reminded the
inert mound.
“You NEVER have a headache,” a daughter accused.
“Maybe he has a brain tumor,” a son said loyally.
At noon he managed to get out of bed long enough to
lean feebly against the mirror and check for gray hairs.
He found three in the left sideburn. We helped him back
to bed. By 2 o’clock he was able to sit up and read a mag
azine and take a little liquid refreshment. By 6 he agreed
that perhaps we could prop him up after ail so he could
watch the television news. Seven o’clock arrived and he
had strength enough to shower and dress. We attended
a party planned in his honor. Before leaving 1 offered my
mascara brush for the sideburn but he declined, saying
that a touch of gray at a man’s temple lent a distinguished
air.
A friend greeted him dolefully at the party. “So you’re
40. On MY 40th birthday 1 couldn’t have gone to a party.
I turned into Chicken Little and thought the sky was fail
ing.”
“Ha, ha!” my distinguished husband (well, distinguished
on the left side) said. “Never felt better in my life!”
“My husband,” a neighbor said, “called the dentist on
the day he turned 40. He was convinced that overnight
all his teeth had loosened up.”
“Can’t believe his imagination could run away like that!”
“Me either," 1 said in my best “standing-by" voice.
“1 had no panic, no trauma, but, well, I did have a
slight headache today . . ."
“Only his sinus," I lied loyally.

came the quilting bees o t
colonial days, pioneer women
using the handstitching of
patterned top to lining as a
social event as today’s woman
uses the luncheon or cocktail
party.
Some quilts became collec
tor’s items, as prized as
antiques. Some ended up in
museums and galleries.
Quilting has moved heavily
not only as coverlets, but also
turned into upholstery and
accent fabrics in many a luxury
house or apartment.
Just who really started the
current rage for patchwork in
fashon is debatable. Yves St.
Laurent showed quilted evening
clothes in his last Paris couture

BEAUTY BRIEFS
Brush to Beauty
To choose the best hail
brush for you, follow these
rules: Make your choice ac
cording to hair length, style
and degree of coarseness or
fineness. Usually, the heavier
the hair, the stiffer the
bristle should be. For most
women, professional hair
dressers recommend a mini
mum of three different types
of brushes necessary for
good hair grooming. These
are either the professional
half-round brush for the still
highly regarded 100-strokes
daily, the back brushing or
styling brush, and the finish
ing or smoothing brush.

It's Your Hair, Men
For Men: Unless you’re
looking for a job in a rock ’n’
roll combo, forget about
way-out hair styles. Keep
your hair trimmed, keep it
clean, keep it combed.
Shampoo at least once every
week—or just as soon as
your hair begins to get oily
and dirty. Wet your hair and
work up a good lather. Scrub
hair and scalp w ith a brush
or your finger tips, then
rinse out all the suds.
Home Hints
Good health practices include
pea-iodic checkups. Remember
mild diabetes can occur without
symptoms. Early detection can
keep treatment to a minimum,
according to authorities.

Goldman is president of the
firm, Aristocrat Embroidery
Co., of Guttenberg, N.J., which
his father founded. It has won
many design awards in fabrics
including three in a row in the
coveted annual Vogue magazine

Why is quilting such a new
hit? “Because it’s Jus tso
georgeous, that’s all,” said
Goldman.

FASHION TIPS
Avoid Clash
You’ll be “cool” on even
the hottest day on the beach
if you’re lying on a beach
towel that has “pizazz.”
Fringed luxurious terry
towels in .glowing colors are
as dazzling as the sun. One
hint: Make sure your towel
doesn’t clash with your
swimsuit.

Hat Is Back
This year is the year for
digging out all those old
things you were going to
give to the Salvation Army.
Old-style dresses arc in, and
one of the neglected acces
sories of the past few years
—the hat—is back on the
scene.
• • •
Just the Answer
If beach-wet hair puts a
damper on your summer
evening socializing, a dynel
wig or fall may be just the
answer to your problem.
Put on your do-it-yourself
thinking cap this summer to
save money next December,
suggests a University of Nebras
ka Extension family specialist.
Think of ways between now and
then to make interesting Christ
mas presents. The reason: busi
ness forecasters are predicting
Yule gifts will cost a family
from five to 20 per cent more
than last December.

for setting out all baby’s needs
for after the bath. Recently I
discovered it saves time and

The corners of towels axe fold-j

sheets I use two coat hangers
with each sheet folded, over four
