Weather can be depressing or
exhilarating. It can really affect
the mood of a family. When it is
so cloudy and damp that you
can’t tell Sam. from 9 a.m. by
looking out the window, then you
wonder why you bothered to get
up. The hay hasn’t dried at all
and the garden is so wet to work
in.
A sunshiny day makes
everyone feel brighter and more
cheerful. It is even easier to smile
when a small disaster hits - such
as my backing the car over my
daughters luggage just as she
was about to leave for the airport
and Seattle.
It seems as though there are so
many little catastrophies in
everyday life.

We really do try to use all the
little things that grow around
here. Just now we have big white
mulberries and little blue ones to
put in fruit puddings or cobblers.
We even pull the abundant garlic
which grows everywhere and use
it in hamburgers and salads.
My garden has six kinds of tea
and besides brewing some for
supper I often put a tender bud in
mv mouth and roll it around

Do noises bother you? I mean
very loud noises such as those
coming from a radio, television
or stereo.
These irritating sounds tend to
drive me up the wall to get away.
My ears are geared to hear a
stream gurgling in the distance,
the soft whimper of a child or
leaves falling to the earth.
Somehow I manage to live with
flute practice and a little girl who
whistles continually while we hull
peas. However, I am tempted to
tell her what my mother often
told me. “Girls who whistle are
like hens that crow and should
have their heads chopped off.”
Elastic Important in
Swimsuit Construction
The swimmer who likes to sew
her own water fashions isn’t so
rare as she used to be, and she’s
thinking about warm weather
fun. If you are one who both sews
and swims, you know your ex
pertise in applying elastic to
swimsuit edges has a lot to do
with the confidence with which
you’ll swim.
Not just any elastic will do
Mrs. Ruth Ann Wilson, Extension
clothing specialist at The Penn
sylvania State University, points
out that regular elastic will
stretch out of shape. Swim elastic
is treated for chlorine resistance.
To find exactly how much
elastic you need, Mrs. Wilson
says to measure the swimsuit
edge to which it is to be fitted. If
you are working with three
eighth-inch elastic, subtract one
inch for every seven inches of
fabric. If the elastic is three-
quarters of an inch wide, subtract

Mark off eight equal parts of the
elastic with pins. Then do the
same with the fabric edge to

your pin markings. Then pin the
elastic to the wrong side of the

next to the cut swimsuit edge.
Stitch in a wide, long zig-zag
