FASHION IN THE NEWS
Today’s
By HELEN HENNESSY
NEA Women's Editor
NEW YORK - (NEA) -
There must be a reason why
knits have never spun out of
the fashion scene. The latest
consumer reports show such
an increasing amount of in
terest that women just can’t
own enough of them.
The reason is simple. They
are neat, seasonable,
stretchable, carryable and
wearable.
Knits have taken over as
away of life to the extent
that one firm in the business
for over 50 years doing
chiefly the basics that are
welcomed in every wardrobe
has now introduced a line
called “Today.” It is in
keeping with today's look yet
it is styled expressly to
maintain a classic refine
ment. The sizes and lengths
reach all levels. The clothes
are simple and chic, knit
with fibers that lend them
selves to such niceties as
subtle beading and embroi
dering.
Colors and patterns are
unique to the knitting indus
try in these Apollo designs.
Their muted tapestry tones
of power red, blue bell, jun
gle brown, willow green and
numerous other shades are
shown in two tones, prints
plaids and solids — all sub
dued to maintain a refined
image.
The go-everywhere dresses
are styled in several ways
with necklines varied from
“V” to stand-away collars.
And with pockets, pleats and
nipped waists they belt out
the latest in fashion news.
Some are two-piece suits.

The smart dress (left) starts its two-tone wool striping under the mock turtle
neckline and continues this detailing until reaching the bottom of the A-line skirt.
A buttoned beltlike band adds interest to this chic double knit. The look of today
is the wide leg pantsuit brushing lightly over the top of the shoe and walking into
a world of sophistication. The well-bred double knit fiber suit (right) has two
front pockets and the loosely belted waist is buttoned up to keep fashion in.
These designs are from Apollo Knitting Mills.
Others are dress and jacket
ensembles of trevira, Dac
ron and linen polyester. And
there are interesting double
knits in wool.

BETTY CANARY
&
A Mother’s Joy
Or Up the Ego
By BETTY CANARY
I was pondering over the white hairs that had mysteri
ously appeared on my head when my daughter came into
the room and asked, “Mother, when are you getting a
shawl?”
“This is a bad time to make jokes,” I snarled
“I’m not joking. Get one with fringe, sort of Spanish,”
she said.
“In China they used to throw baby girls over cliffs,” I
said. (What I did not say was, “I’m beginning to under
stand why.”)
“You never do anything I want,” she pouted.
“Oh, I know what YOU want,” I said. “Well, I’ll be old
and senile soon enough.”
“You never listen to me.”
“Yes, I can see what it’s going to be like, all right,” I
whined. “You just can’t wait, can you?”
“Are you crying?”
“Os course, I’m crying,” I cried. “My hair turns white
and the very first thing you want me to get is a shawl. Next
it’s going to be a rocking chair. Then telling all your friends
about being tied down to an aging mother.”
“Why don’t you wipe the flour out of your bangs?” she
asked.
“You’ll not be satisfied until I’m locked up in an old
people’s home!” I sobbed. “Just think, a little 11-year-old
girl turning on her mother. To think that I’d live to see
this day!”
“The flour must be from the pie crust you were making,”
she said, as she scrubbed my forehead with a napkin.
“Yes, I bake, I slave ...” I looked in the mirror.
“Flour?” I asked.
“Flour,” she said.
“Oh.”
“Now, when are you getting a shawl?”
“Don’t start that again!” I cried.
“Shawls are pretty,” she said.
“Eleven years old! What do you know?”
“Just listen,” she said. “I saw them in Vogue. Get one
with fringe. You’d look beautiful. Beautiful!”
“That sounds like flattery.”
“Oh, no,” she said. “You really would.”
“Really?”
“I think you would,” she said.
“Well, that’s different,” I said. “After all, I do think
you have good taste,” I said. “Why, my goodness, if
EVERY mother could have such a thoughtful, observant,
intelligent 11-year-old daughter. . . .”

POLLY’S POINTERS
Con Kid Into Getting
Haircut ‘Like Daddy’s’
By POLLY CRAMER
Polly's ProblemMiriii*iii | iiffiMMM"iig
DEAR POLLY—My old flat iron rusted in the proc- I
ess of trying to clean it. What can I do to remove I
the rust from this iron and other such antiques?— I
JEANETTE
DEAR POLLY—That fighting, fussing and bother that
often occurs when taking a _
small boy for his first hair
cut usually can be avoided V
by using a bit of psychol- fr )'
ogy. Instead of saying J Wzl pSj VZ
“Let’s go get your hair
cut,” which has an omin- \
ous implication, just say Y
“Let’s go get your hair A/ 'Wz
fixed like Daddy’s.” Daddy | \\ ZJ
being a hero to him, he goes f /M j|Y/ /i
all smiles and scarcely J I \\ 'j I V / I
realizes his hair is being
cut. Everyone is relaxed.—MßS. H. J. J.
DEAR POLLY—This is for Mrs. L. J. B whose corduroy
pants are linty after being washed and then ruined by
pressing. Turn corduroy clothes inside out to wash them.
Result—no lint! Steam press on the wrong side over a bath
towel. Result—no iron marks’—MßS. T. K.
DEAR POLLY—I wash my daughter’s red corduroy skirt
by hand and rinse it several times in cool water, but never
twisting or wringing it. After all the suds are out I dip it
once more in clear water, lift it out, place in a pan and
carry it out to the clothesline and hang it by the belt to
drip dry. I go out and shake it several times while it is
drying. By following this method no ironing is needed.—
MRS. A. M. H.
DEAR GIRLS—Be sure your corduroy garments do not
“run” before putting them in to wash with anything else.
If any pressing is necessary on the top side, always use a
pressing cloth or paper towel even when a steam iron is
used. Take care the iron is not too hot.—POLLY
DEAR POLLY—The container in which I make iced tea
is of a size that requires the use of five tea bags. When I
open a new box of bags I remove all the paper tags, tie
the bags together in bunches of five and put them in my
canister. When ready to make tea I just grab a tied set.
When the tea is made it is much easier to fish out one
bunch than five separate little bags.—WELTHA
