Realities Jar the Contemplative
By BETTY CANARY

When it conies to contemplative interludes, those who
live in gentler climes must have an easier time of it than
I do.
Here I was, on a bitter January afternoon, and the stage
seemed set for thinking quiet and restful thoughts. It was
peaceful, the only sound being an occasional popping of a
log in the fireplace. It was restful—only one child home
from school with a cold and she was reading in her bed
room.
My house was in order. The dining room table, for once
not loaded with games, sweaters and books, was polished
and gleaming. A casserole bubbled in the oven. Apples
simmered atop the stove and the spicy, rich, sugar-and
cinnamon scent wafted through the house. Whoever in
vented exhaust fans, anyway?
I gazed from my window, first at our huge, old cherry
tree, its black trunk starkly outlined against the snowy
landscape, looking like some ancient Chinese drawing. The
soft humps of snow edging its branches brought to mind
Katherine Mansfield’s snow kittens and, surely, there,
caught in the forks of branches and twigs, the snow resem
bled nothing more than curled-up, fluffy kittens and pup
pies.
Starlings were eating all the bread crumbs we’d put

POLLY’S POINTERS
Use Adhesive-backed Felt
To Repair Suede Jacket
By POLLY CRAMER
DEAR POLLY—Do tell Mrs. R. L. that I had great suc
cess repairing suede and leather jackets with adhesive
backed felt, the type used for the bottom of lamp bases and
that can be bought at the 10-cent store. Be sure the edges
of the rip are perfectly matched on the top side. First
fasten them together with masking tape or easy-to-remove
transparent plastic tape. Apply felt to underside of the
garment. No heat is needed, just press with the fingers.
Remove the tape that had been temporarily placed on the
top, then firmly push edges of the tear, down from the top,
tightly against the felt patch. Practically invisible.—MßS.

DEAR POLLY—I wish you would ask the readers E

DEAR POLLY—I was interested in a recent answer to
S.M.R.’s problem with
sleeping and recalled what
we aid in our college dormi
tory when we wanted to
sleep during the day or on
noisy Saturday nights. We
simply placed a hair dryer
near the bed and turned it
on at the “cool” setting.
This blocks out most noises
and the sound of the dryer
helps lull one to sleep, too.
Most women have hair
dryers. This is more economical than buying a special
machine. I used the same dryer for four college years for
masking noises and drying hair. It still works fine.—SHARI
DEAR POLLY—Recently I had a large wedding gift to
wrap and gift-wrapping paper simply was not wide enough
without piecing it. A friend suggested that I buy and use
a paper wedding tablecloth. I did and even had enough left
to wrap another small gift. This made a pretty gift wrap
which was even cheaper than buying wrapping paper.—

out for the birds but starlings must eat, too. The world
wasn’t created for buntings and cardinals alone.
The snowman in our back yard wasn’t a snowman any
more. He had evolved into an igloo, then, when his roof
kept caving in, he turned into a snow wall that ran almost
the full length of the yard. I sighed contentedly. It wasn’t
so elegant as the huge Buddha carved from snow we had
seen in another yard but it had been fun.
The honeysuckle bushes were invisible under a heavy
crush of snow and I thought of the praying mantis’ cases
my son had discovered clinging to their lower branches.
Life and creation, I thought, is constantly going on, even if
one cannot see it.
I brought in the mail. I put on the tea kettle, stirred the
apples, read a letter from a dear friend in Connecticut.
Then I realized even a yoga couldn’t be contemplative
around this place. He’d have to notice the puddles on the
kitchen floor. And the open freezer door. And the melted
perch fillets on the table. And his daughter would explain
how she had made snowballs upstairs on the porch roof
and she just thought she’d save them and there wasn’t
room for both fish and snowballs in the refrigerator. And
he’d have to bake eight pounds of fish and mounds of to
mato sauce and call up friends and invite them to dinner.

Sinclair Mills in a patchwork fantasy print. The bared back is laced with a draw

NEW YORK — (NEA) -
Winter vacations are coming
up. The cruise season is
nearly with us. And prints
in swimwear will be making
a big splash.
Dramatic new styling in
swimwear is largely respon
sible for the print explosion
in this area. A swimsuit is a
swimsuit—but it’s also a
dress, pants, a poncho, a
long skirt. Swimwear lines
are filled this year with a
varied assortment of cover
ups , go-withs, go-a lone s,
overs or unders. It is, in
fact, well-rounded sports
wear.
Shapes are easy, soft and
fluid with lots of little skirt
effects. And the suit PLUS
trend demands a fabric that

is versatile and is suitable
for a variety of looks.
This year, a new fabric
that is important in the
swimwear market is a knit
of nylon called Touch. It is
ideal for prints and is add
ing drama to the beach
scene in patchworks, Orien
tal abstracts and scaled
down florals. It is just right
for the important fluid
styles, since one of its char
acteristics is drapability.
Donald Brooks has de
signed a swimwear collec
tion for Sinclair Mills and he
uses the new fabric in a
patchwork print in a multi
tude of colors, including
grape, lavender and gold.
He cuts the prints into little
halter-top suits, dramatic
ponchos and side-wrap skirts
that turn a suit into a whole
other garment.
