LADIES,
HAVE YOU HEARD?

Indian Gauze
Popular Fabric
Indian gauze has become a
fashion fabric, this thin,
cotton, open-weave fabric is
ideal for fuller fashions. It is
light without weight, makes
up well in flowing, loose
designs, is comfortable in
hot weather and for keeping
with the ethnic trend in
fashion.
Gauze is woven with
twisted yarns and shrinks
when removed from the
loom. Because of its loose,
crinkly-type construction it
does require some skill and
patience in handling. Use the
following tips when sewing
with gauze.
If you haven’t tried sewing
with this fabric, you might
experiment first. Techniques
are similar to those used on
most light weight cotton
fabrics except the crinkle
may get in the way. Stret
ching tiie fabric as you sew
will help you get smoother
seams and finishes.
You may find you need less
ease allowance than on other
woven fabncs because the
crepy finish stretches
somewhat when worn. You
probably will not use this
fabric for tailored styles
requiring interfacing but if
an interfacing is necessary
select a light weight fabric.
If the fabric seems to
ravel, stitch both seam
allowances together one
fourth inch from the seam
line and trim away the seam
allowance beyond the stit
ching.
As with any fabric new to
you, you’ll have to use your

good Judgement in deciding
the best procedures.
Determine the results you
want and build on your
sewing knowledge to decide
the easiest and quickest way
to achieve it.
Gauze tops team well with
denim and these, too, will be
highly promoted for fall and
winter. Next spring you can
expect to see variations in
the weave and design of
gauze fabrics. American
manufacturers are now
making gauze fabrics with
permanent wrinkles.
Tips on Freezing
Fresh Tomatoes
Tomatoes are one of the
most popular vegetables in
this country. They are easy
to grow and can be served in
many ways. To get the most
good from tomatoes eat
them fresh or raw, but
remember, too, that they
retain a large share of their
nutrients when cooked,
canned, or frozen.
About three medium-sized
tomatoes weigh a pound and
a bushel weighs around 50
pounds. But it will depend on
the variety you grow or buy.
When buying tomatoes look
for those that are;
Mature, well-ripened, firm
and plump. Good color
characteristic of the variety.
Smooth and well formed for
serving whole or sliced. Free
of blemishes, deep cracks
and insect damage.
Tomatoes that have growth
cracks or irregular shapes
usually cost less per pound
because the trimming waste
will be greater.
Tomatoes are perishable

and spoilage loss Is ex
pensive. Handle tomatoes
with care both before and
after you buy or pick them.
Tomatoes don’t have to be
fully ripe when harvested or
bought. But if they are fully
mature, of good quality and
have not been refrigerated,
they will continue to ripen at
room temperature. Avoid
placing them in direct
sunlight while they are still
ripening. After tomatoes are
ripened to your taste,
refrigerate them in a closed
container or covered
vegetable tray for best
keeping quality.
Canning is probably the
most commonly used
method of preserving
tomatoes for year-round use.
However, you can freeze
tomatoes. You can freeze
fresh ripe tomatoes but you
will have to cook them in
some way before serving. Or
freeze tomatoes as juice or
stewed. Frozen tomatoes,
juice, or stewed tomatoes
will take up a great deal of

space in your freezer. But if
you have ample room,
freezing might be a good way
of preserving them if you
have a limited supply of
canning lids.
To make tomato juice,
wash, sort, and trim
tomatoes. Cut in quarters or
eighths, and simmer 5 to 10
minutes. Press through a
sieve. Season with one
teaspoon salt to each quart of
juice. Cool. Pour into freezer
containers with wide top
opening, allowing 1-inch
head space at top of each
container. Seal, label and
freeze.
To make stewed tomatoes
remove stem ends, peel and
quarter ripe tomatoes. Cover
and cook until tender about
10 to 20 minutes. Place pan
containing tomatoes in cold
water to cool. Pack into
wide-topped freezer con
tainers, leaving 1-inch head
space per quart; Vfe-inch if
using pint containers. Seal,
label, and freeze.
“Cream Cheese Franks"
make a Halloween hit with
teens and adults. Split one
pound of skinless franks half
way through. Fill with a
mixture of one package (3
ozs.) cream cheese blended
with one tablespoon minced
chives. Wrap each frank in a
strip of bacon. Secure with
picks. Broil eight minutes,
turning to brown evenly.
Have a batch of toasted buns
ready.
