BETTY CANARY
By BUTTY CANARY
DEAR BETTY—I have been a widow for 16 years and
have worked hard to bring up two daughters. 1 spent my
life on them and now that they are 19 and 21, they want
nothing to do with me. They say they have their own
friends, their own interests and have nothing to share
with me I did without friends, without anything, in
order to be a good mother and now they shut me out.
1 suppose you’ll hand out the trite old suggestion to foreet
it and forgive it but at least I’ve gone on record as saying
I think my daughters are two ungrateful girIs.—UN
WANTED ’
DEAR UNWANTED—The interesting thing about “go
ing on record” is that we often end up sounding like a
recording. 1 hope this isn’t true in your case and that,
having once gone on record, you’re now ready to live the
rest of your life not only for your daughters but for
yourself and others. If you’re bored or lonesome, your
children cannot solve the problem for you by sharing
their dates, parties, studies, etc. When we clutch at
others’ lives to fill the emptiness of our own, the natural
instinct for survival takes over. They push us away so
we cannot eat them alive.
DEAR BETTY—So many parents and children are un
able to get along that I thought you might like to hear
from someone who loves and respects his parents. My
mother and father had little education and not much
money but they managed to send six kids through high
school. After that we had to be on our own. We gave our
parents some hard times—at one time or another we
got into fights, got bad grades in school, made all the
mistakes you can think of. We’ve also given them 14
grandchildren, a lot of gray hairs, but also, they tell us.
a lot of happiness. We could always count on one thing
at home—our parents would sit down and talk to us and
reason out things with us.—A GRATEFUL SON
DEAR SON—Thank you for writing. It sounds as if
your parents knew the real definitions of the words.
Family and Home.

Corduroy Big with School Set
By JOANNE SCHREIBER
Sorry, boys, the leg show
is over. The mini has been
replaced by a long, flounced
dress known as the Granny,
the Frontier, the Country,
the Western, or the Covered
Wagon, and girls from kin
dergarten through college
are making the most of the
romantic and nostalgic new
look.
The old-fashioned look is
a natural for girls who sew
their own, and the piece
goods counters this fall are
loaded with just the right
kinds of murky calico prints
which are essential to the
Covered Wagon look.
Corduroy, long a special
favorite of home sewers, is
particularly good for this
fashion in soft pinwales and
romantic prints. Just re
member that corduroy must
be cut with the nap all run
ning the same way, so follow
the ‘with nap’ pattern layout.
If you cut so the pile runs
upward you’ll have a dress
with a richer, deeper color.
This is an important consid
eration with the rich purples
and browns which go with
the new styles.
The pattern for today’s
dress is exclusive to readers
of this newspaper. It’s a
super-quick design, cut with
only two major pattern
pieces. Choose long or short
sleeves, a long or short hem
line; add the matching ker
chief which is included in
the pattern, or make the
romantic granny shawl.
To make the shawl, you
will need 2 yards of 36-inch
fabric, plus I'/s yards for
the double ruffle. Lay out
your 2-yard piece of cordu
roy. Mark center of one long
POLLY’S POINTERS
She Makes Her Own
Snap-on Dress Collars
By POLLY CRAMER
DEAR POLLY—Like Mrs. O. E. R., 1, too, particularly
like dresses with white or light-colored collars. When I
buy a new dress with such a collar, I carefully rip it off
and sew snaps to the collar edge, then match them to the
dress neck edge. When a collar becomes soiled, I simply
unsnap it, launder and snap back on. Saves many a
cleaning bill.—MßS. L. F. A.
Polly's Problem .
DEAR POLLY—I would like to know how to re
move stains from our aluminum storm door off my
husband's shirts. Nothing I have tried has helped.

DEAR POLLY—Many men’s shirts and socks are on
display in plastic bags in shops so I wish the color of the
item could be printed on the package. This would be most
helpful to color-blind people especially. Also the same
needs to be done to thread spools. Many a trip made back
to the store could be avoided if the spool had been
marked. Brown and black look so much alike in their
shiny cellophane wrappers.—W. S.

hollow panel sliding doors, try using one of these doors
for a large cutting board when sewing. Lift, tilt and re-
move the door, then place
on the dining room table
which is protected with a
pad or cover. If the inside
of the door is painted, black
patterns and pins will be
that much easier to see.
When putting up curtain
rod brackets, tape them in

or screws. This makes the
job easier and the tape is
easily removed when they
are fastened.

napkins and wives who dislike ironing so buy a yard of
