ITALY SEEKING TO MAKE TURIN FASHION CENTRE

In Italy something quite new in the history of clothes is being tried.

A “national mark" is to be ap- plied there in future to women's huts and dreses.

This is the latest move in a scheme to make Turin the fashion centre of Italy ,and to free Italian women from the yoke of British and Paris fashions.

The Italian National Organiza- tion for Women's Fashion has de- cided to draw up a list of approved Italian dressmakers and milliners. Models submitted by these firms for examination will, if approved be given the ilutiOflill mark. They must be not only made in Italy‘, bul designed by Italian designers.

It is claimed that Italian drcks designers are in no way inferior tn

POPULAR LEATHER GLOVE-MAKING AT HOME MAY BE A VERY PROFITABLE '- HOBBY

GEove-making is an interesting and usr-ful hobby that, could be made voiy profitable by any wo- man who is quick and clever with the fingers says Mary Stollard in the Glasgow Herald. It is also an excellent method for raising funds for ones pet charity.

Melly women, when buying a new coat 0r frock, buy an extra piece of material so that they can nave glovesmade to match, and once a home worker has establish- ed a reputation for well-made, well- fitting gloves she will soon be kept busy. A goo‘ paper pattern, giving clear: and reliable instructions, is most important, and this may be bought at any fancy work shop or department.

Then there is always a constant demand for the ever-popular wash- able chamois gloves in various shades of fawn. beige, and yellow, aid also in cream and white. These are the best kind for a beginner to start, first, as they are the easiest to sew, and they are quite simple to make.

skins that are soft and pliable to the touch are the best to choose, with a smooth even texture. A betlei‘ skin wears longer, and is cheaper in the end. Before buying a skin hold it up to/the light to see if it ha; any weak patches. Often there is no definite wrong or right side, but the smoothest nap should be chosen for the outside, as it re- mains clean longer.

The only materials required for making the gloves are a. packet of gloverl; needies, No 6 or 8, a sharp penknife, a leather punch, and some flax thread.

The skins should be well ‘tretch- ed before cutting out. To do this, soak them in warn water, then stretch them d. on a flat board, fixing them wt‘: drawing pins, and leave until dry. The glove pattern can then be laced flat over the 5kil1—3) that he stretch of the leather is across the hand, not lengthwise Then pencil round very exactly, and cut out carefully with a sharp penknife. Tack the. seams ‘together, and slip the gloves on the hand; in this way any ad- justments can be made that seem necessary.

The glove is now ready to be sewn- Thread a glover's needle with flax thread and start at the tip of the fingers, holding the edges of the seams very accurately together between the finger and thumb. All stitching l5 doneton the right aide, with :-. small. neat stab-stitch, piercing the leather through back- wards and forwards.

The thumb is sewn firmly into place, and gussets inserted into the wrists if the glove is to be of the gauntlet style. With short glove, the wrists can be left as they are, with neatly cut edges, or narrow rolled hem makes a good finish. The thread should be tied carefully inside, so that no knoll come through.

Fancy stitching down the backs of the gloves is better avoided until the worker has acquired sufficient experience in glove sewing, for, un- lms it is done very skilfully, and exactly, it is apt to look amateur- ish, and spoil the effect.

nature than the factihat ‘ tistics show that more homes are broken “i! by mothera-in-law than by infidelity or drink or any other one cause. All stu’ ‘s of domestic relationship agree in asserting that the young coup“ who start their married life alone with no in-law on the premises hove an 80 per cent better chance of making n. success of marriage than they would have if the mother of either the bride 0r the bi-idesrwm lived with them.

Now no one will contend that the average moihar-in-law, Won $116 one who is a trouble-maker in her children's home, f3 a bad woman at heart, or that she deliberately and maliciously starts out to WIN! l!" children's marriages. _ On the contrary, she is generally a 100d WORM!» kind and sympathetic and helpful to the needy. Moreover, one loves her children and wants to see them happy, and she is honestly shocked and horrified when she sees them getting divorces, their homes in ruins nbi-‘vllt them and their poor little children half-orphaned.

She doesn't once suspect that aha is responsible for the catastrophe. she would deny it bitterly if you accused her of heading the home- wrecking crew. Why, she didn't do a thing. She Just tried to teach M!‘ daughter-in-law how to keep house the way she did and to raise the baby the way she reared her children. GOOdIless knows, she never was one o! the nicely-mouthed women who chew their tongues instead of saying right out what they thought, and so aha ust told Sally about how bod her cooking was; what a slack manager e was; that she ought not use Mr best china every day, and if it made Sally fighting med to be found llull with that wasn't her lookout. A young woman ought to be willing to let her husband's mother tell her whet. t0 do. t

And, thank heaven, she opened ‘tom's eyes and made him see Bally as she was instead of thinking her a goddess or somethinl- W119. Whfln aha went to live with them ‘Ilom was Just so in love that he wee blind ill a bat and thought everything Sally did was wonderful. If he hadnt had a mother maybe he wouldn't have found one better. But she P0111" ed out to him that Bally was extravagant and threw things in the giublfl can that she should have put in the soup pct; that she bought too ma!!!’ dresses and played too much bridge and didn't stay at home all the time. like she used to do when she was young, until he got no that nothing Sally did pleased him and they fought all the time.

And Mother doesn't blame herself at ail for Mary's and Sun's mI-I- riage going blooey. All she did we: Just in harp continually on every one of Sam's little peculiarities until Mary quit Seeing him as a. hero of rom- ance and beheld him instead as a. boot. And Mother feels that she ii doing nothing more than her duty in killing Mary's faith in her lliwblnd by implan" seeds of suspicion in her mind about his‘ good-looking atenographer, or his conferences. She is sure she has: perfect fllht 1!! her daughter's home in run it he: own way, even if it. does drive Sam 011i of it to his club, where he can have a little peace.

It is because even the best of women can be the worst of mothers- in law that makes it safest for no mother-in-law to live with her children.

, comm-n: nix.

Dear Dorothy Dix—My husband and I are in a Dfirbfllflll lrlilmbut about whether or not he should help mo with the “ousework. Be says: “My job is to support you and the baby and not to be a wash-woman or nursemaid or coo I say that after I have done my own housework besides taking care of a. 15-‘m0l1l-h-0ld baby that I am so tired and nervous that I need a little help and that he might give me a ilift by at least 100k- ing after the baby while I do the dishes. Would you advise us about what work each of us should do in the home? ‘fl-IE QUARRELJBS, Answer:

I don't think that question can be settled definitely because there are too many angles to the situation. So much depends on so many differ- ent things, and particularly, as in your case, on the wife's health.

Evidently you are over-working. Not only inflection and sympathy for you should prompt your husband to help you with the housework but prudence also counsels it. FOY if your burden isn't lifted I. little, you will soon have a breakdown and then, when he has to have doctors’ bills and nurses‘ bills and hire omobody to take care of the baby and do the housework, he will have trouble a-plenty.

In those cases where a husband supports the home and the wife ll well and strong I do not think that she should call upon him to add tho housework to his job, any more than he should expect her to help him out on his, but the aituatlo is entirely altered when the wife is frail and delicate and not able to do all of the work alone.

Personally, I do not ace why a husband and wife who love each othfl‘ should count every lick of work one does for the other, and each be so afraid that he or she will do a little more for the others comfort and hap-

piness than he or she is entitled to. To my thinking the greatest happi- ness that life can give us is being able to serve those we love and make DOHUPI-IY DIX.

life easier and pleasanter for them.
