Griffin Daily News
Aren’t you just a bit suspicious of anybody who enjoys
the first week of January? Perhaps you haven’t had the
same experience, but it seems that wherever I turn, I
bump into enthusiastic people.
Here I am, just beginning to recover from Christmas—
my husband calls it Tinselitis—while others are planning
spring cleaning. My best friend has even talked with an
upholsterer about recovering her living room sofa. I don’t
know if she’s actually chosen the fabric or not. Surely she
can’t be that enthusiastic. Can you imagine anyone being
able to sit there sorting through 1,400 little square swatches
and being decisive at this time of year? The children
haven’t been back in school long enough. I haven’t yet
swept up all the peanut hulls and broken plastic.
This morning my friend Ellen stopped by and asked if I
wanted to go shopping. “All the spring things are out and
I can hardly wait!” was the way she put it. I didn’t have
the heart to tell her I am still looking for a nice navy
sweater to wear this winter.
Another thing I didn’t tell her was, I haven’t even ex
changed some shirts the boys’ aunt gave them for Christ
mas. I am going to exchange them. But I’d rather not
discuss it with Ellen. She would have had those shirts in
side the department store at 10:05 a.m. Jan. 2. She would
have marched right in and said, “I want to exchange this
yellow size 12 for a size 14—here, I’ll take this blue one
with the stripes.” Things never work out that way for me.
No matter when I exchange the shirts there will be only
one 14 left in the entire department. And it’s going to be
purple paisley.
Another depressing thing about the first week in January
is that I keep meeting people who are lapping up raspberry
yogurt. One can watch their hips literally melt away. They
never seem to have any walnut raisin cake left over from
the holidays. They have the thing down to an exact science.
As the clock strikes 12 on New Year’s Eve, the last wedges
of mince pie curiously disappear from their refrigerators
and there’s not a crumb left in their kitchens. In my kitchen
it might be February before a person stops running into
bits of date roll and the most fattening kinds of cookies
last into March.

It isn’t anything I do—it’s just the way things are. Every
one else will have potted hyacinths on their kitchen window
sills while I still have a red velvet poinsettia taped over
my dining room doorway. They will be addressing valen
tines while I am being thankful I’ve finally got those Christ
mas cards out of the living room. (No, I haven’t finished
checking the address list.)
The bride was given in marri
age by her brother, Ronnie
Dunn of Griffin. She wore a for
mal wedding gown of white lace
posed over white taffeta. Her
bouffant veil of silk illusion fell
from a white lace cap. Her bou
quet was of white rosebuds,
stephanotis and centered on a
white prayer book.
The bride’s only attendant
was Miss Kitty Brown of Wood
bury.
The groom’s father served as
best man. Usher-groomsmen
were Robert Louis Owen,
brother of the groom, and Jar
rell Estes of Atlanta.
Following the wedding the
bride’s parents entertained with
a reception in the Sunday School
rooms.
The couple is residing at
Owen’s Vineyard in Gay, Ga.
The leather look, whether
real or imitated, is definitely in
the fashion picture to stay. But
before you go for leather con
sider the kind and cost of up
keep. Most real suede or leather
garments call for dry cleaning
only and require individual cus
tom handling with accompanying
higher charges. Simulated leath
ers arc of two kinds—polyure
thane coated fabrics that can be
dryelcaned, and expanded vinyl
that must be wetcleaned or
wiped off.
POLIA’S POINTERS
Crocheted Rug Is Made
Os Nylon Hose Strips
By POLLY CRAMER
DEAR POLLY and Viola—Of course, the first step in
crocheting a rug out of nylon hose is to dye the hose. The
colors will be more uniform if commercial color remover
is first used, but I think the different shadings of one color
are also quite attractive. Cut each stocking into one long,
bias strip, starting at the top. If stockings are different
weights, make allowance for this when cutting. Cut the thin
strips about three inches wide and the heavier ones nar
rower. Sew strips together and wind into a ball.
To make a single-crochet rug, start with three chain
stitches and join with a slip-stitch to form a ring. I crochet
six rows of the first color, one of the second, three more
of the first, three of the second, then five of the first and
five of the second color. To join colors when ending one and
starting another, simply sew them together. Be sure to add
enough stitches on each row to enlarge the rug enough so
it lays flat.—MßS. E. V.
DEAR POLLY—My candles have not been in the
direct sunlight but heat has caused them to bend out
of shape. Is there any way I can restore them to an
upright position? Also, how can I prevent this from
happening again?—FßAN
DEAR POLLY—I was desperately in need of a big pot
for a large plant but found
them all so expensive. I
saw an ad in the paper for
green, plastic, garbage
pails so I bought one, took
an ice pick and made two
holes in the bottom for
drainage. I turned the lid
upside down under the pail
to serve as a saucer to
catch any water drips from
the plant or so I can water
it from the bottom.—
GERRY
DEAR POLLY—After wondering how on earth to get rid
of the mildew on the hem of my plastic shower curtains,
I finally hit on the idea of cutting off the hems with my
pinking shears. No more hems and no more places for
water to accumulate to give mildew a place to form. The
pointed edges left by the pinking shears look like it was
intended to be that way.—MRS. J. L. G

FASHIONETTES
By United Press International
Helen Rose, designer of
clothes worn by movie stars,
says “nude” fashions are
“perpetrated by designers who
do not give top priority to
women’s best interests.” She
maintains the see-through shirts
and pants and such essentially
are anti-feminine, anti-fashion.
“Good fashions enhance — not
destroy —a woman’s mystique,”
she said.

Among many new
time-keeping ideas unveiled at
the Montres et Bijoux (watch
and ,ewelry) show in Geneva,
Switzerland, was a jewelry watch
with bracelet linked to a
matching ring by a
diamond-studded chain. One
woman’s watch had hands
studded with diamond brilliants
and there were several sets of a
matching watch, ring and
necklace.

When making applesauce, add
sugar after the apples are
cooked, but still hot, for two
reasons. Fruits cooked in water
break down, or stew; those in
sugar syrup keep their shape
and firmness. And. sauce made
with unpared apples, sieving out
the peels after cooking, is thrif
tier -- less apple waste and no
sugar loss.

Nothing gives more dash to the favored officers'
maxi coat than a smashing beret and scarf. Wendy
Dascomb, Miss USA, (left) shows a version in fake
chinchilla, co-ordinated with a giant jersey scarf
banded in the same fake fur. The pants look is every
where and the right hat makes it complete. Miss USA
chose a snap brim fedora of fake stencilled leopard
with a matching chain shoulder bag (right) to wear
with her red pants and soldier coat outfit.
