Choosing the Right Fabric Is Important Ladies, do you have a prob lem finding fabric for a gar ment that will be appearing to you? In making a skirt one would usually use a fabric that is somewhat heavier than those used in a blouse. However, if the skirt is going to be gather ed a soft fabric should be used for a slender effect. Some crisp or slightly stiff fabrics give a fuller more bouffant ef fect. The stiffer the fabric the more it will stand out from the body, and the more it will have a tendency to make one look larger. Remem ber this when selecting the material so that you can choose the fabric that flatters you. The fabric you select should complement your natural col oring. Hold different colors of cloth up to your face while standing in front of a mirror. Ask a friend to help decide which color looks best on you. If you are a small person, most large figured prints would overwhelm you. You want to be sure to see the girl not the dress she is wearing. A solid colored fabric or a fabric with a design which goes in both directions is us ually preferred for a skirt. Fabrics with stripes, plaids or designs that go in only one direction are a problem to match at seams. - j Mirex fire ant bait, which 11 offers complete safety to wild ; life, humans and domestic ani f mals, will be used and all ', aerial operations will be con ducted in keeping with safety t regulations as prescribed by s the Federal Aviation Agency. t The fire ant eradication ef fort is conducted by the Geor- gia Department of Agriculture with the Plant Pest Control Division of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture.
