A BAG FOR EVERY FROCK
\‘E clever woman makes her
0 own envelope bags, and so
manages to have a bag to
match or to go with every street or
afternoon frock in her vwardrobe.
Heavy moire silk is a good selection.
aitd this can be bought to match the
predominant tone of the frock. Al-
most any flt‘m. heavy silk fabric
may be used. Glazed chints is at-
tractive for bags to go with wash
flocks.
if you decide to make. an en-
velope bag the way to go about it
is to buy a large envelope. of the
shape and size you‘want. at the
stationery store. Unatlck this. so
that you can lay it' flat for a pattern.
This may require a little steaming.
Now cut the material and some
suitable lining exactly the shape of
the envelope pattern. plus a half
inch all around for turning in.
Mark lightly with chalk or pencil
around the edge of the pattern on
the inside and then titrn in material
on this mark. Do the same for the
lining.
One way of proceeding now is
to paste the lining and the mate-
rial very lightly where it is turned.
This should then be allowed to dr’
under weight of several books. The
lining and outside portion should
then be put together. This may be
done with the paste it the material
is heavy enough. It should be done
very neatly and carefully along the
edges. If you do not like to use
paste then ‘the lining and outer por-
tion must be joined by very fine
blind stitches. This done the square
should be pressed or smoothed under
weights. and then turned in exactly
the lines taken by the envelope. By
means of paste or blind stitches the
lower lap of the envelope should,be
attached to the side laps. The upper
flap may be fitted with a snap
fastener. one part being sewed to
the lower section in just the. right
position. You may possibly be able
to have a regular press stud at-
tached if you know of a good leather
shop where such work is done.

that suggests the
sports frock. For afternoon and
evening and rather elaborate
street wear women now choose the
figure-printed chlffons, btit for
sports wear they ch‘oose stripes.
The rule has always been that
stripes worn up and (town were \
suitable only for women who were .-
.neither tall nor thin, but fashion
nowadays seems to ignore the
plump woman entirely. it up and
down stripes make the slender gill
appear any slenderer then up and
down stripes she will have.
So it is that a large number of
the striped silk frocks are made
with the stripes running simply, up . ~
and down. though occasionally the
stripes are used in a horizontal
manner by way of trimming. The
sketch shows one of the favorite
ways of making use of striped
wash silk. The skirt which is
usually mounted on a light silk
bodice is short and straight with
inverted box pleats at the sides.
The jumper is opened part way ,
dowu the front. Often the striped
silk is made up in even simpler
manner. with a straight one-piece
frock of unbroken line save for a
narrow silk belt placed just over
the hips.
Though long sleeves are re-
tarded as a trifle newer this
season. shorter sleeves are still ‘-‘
chosen by the. woman who wishes
to wear her sport frocks for actual
sports. These striped silks are
either of the silk shirting variety.
when the stripe is woven in. or are
of the crepe do chine variety. when
the strips is printed. The frock

of the American Telephone and Tele-

and at an observation station in

THE RADIO PRIMER
One Daily Fact for Listeners i
The Super-Heterodyne Receiver.
invented during the war by Major
R. H. Armstrong. operates on the
panciple of the heterodyne or "beat"
note. described recently in the
Primer. This principle says. you
rtmcmllcr. that when two radio;
waves not too far apart lll frequency
are blended together they produce a‘
heterodync or beat frequency equalj
to the difference between the fre-j
qnencies of the two original waves.
The supcrahetcrodyne consists of
three units: first. a receiver of some
usual type that tunes in the wanted
signal; second. a local oscillator
that produces an oscillation not too,
far apart from the frequency of this:
incoming signal: third. an amplifier!
What happens is that the incont—
ing signal and the load oscillation
blend and produce a heterodyne or
beat frequency. This beat frequency
is run through the amplifier and
amplified. carrying the message with
it
The advantage of this scheme is
that the amplifier may be designed
for a particular frequency. which

makes it much more efficient. For
example. in many auper-hstarodynes
the amplifier is designed for s. fre-

.vnu want to receive a station that
has a frequency of 600.000 cycles
(th0 kiloeycles). you as: your local

WHEN YOU BORROW
If you are giving a big card party.
doubtless you borrow tables from
your nelgh‘hors. Of course. if it is a
very big party. in the hands of a
caterer. then you hire the tables
along with the refreshments. But
most of us borrow from our
neighbors.
Now when you borrow a card
table. if it does not already bear the
owner's name, write it on the under
side with chalk. it can then be
rubbed off if the owner desires. but
It. will identify the table for your
own help until after the party is
over and the table safely returned.
