Travel Woes
Whether it's to the seashore for
ten days, to California for the
summer, or just a vacation at the
wishing stage, fashion authorities
have- advised vacationers to travel
light—without an iron.
- No matter how clever they ap
pe'ar, travel irons are effective
only in keeping one inside work
ing when one would prefer to be
outside _playing. Many, of the
smartest fashions for spring and
summer, need no ironing after
washing.' The trend toward styles
of this type promises to make the
traveling iron as extinct as .the
washboard. _
• Plisse Play Suites
- The trick is in the fabric. For
example, one of the season's new
est styles is a terry cloth dregs
that washes and shakes out like
a beach towel and comes in
sophisticated colors like black and
cinnamon toast.
" Designers are also featuring
plisse:play suits, seersucker en
sembles, an d cotton georgette,
after-five dresses.. These fabrics
are wrinkly to begin with—the
creases are a part of their charm.
And then there's a nylon jersey
and. organdy evening dress -that
washes like a pair of 'stockings,
and hangs out on a hanger ready
for the next dancing date.
Cotton suits;• perfect for en route
vacationers, have been treated to
resist wrinkling and to discard in
a matter of moments the few
creases they pick up after hours
of sitting in a car or train.
Travel Hand Bag .
Summer showers that come
and go like summer romances
call for a puckered nylon rain
coat, one that's wrinkleshed. In
, a bright daffodil yellow, the rain
coatl is a che e r f protection
against the rain.
Mademoiselle magazine suggests
another way to get around the
traveling blues. A specially de
signed travel hand bag, styled
like a conventional hand bag in
everything but the quantities of
overnight essentials it holds—
everything froth a wet washcloth
to a shortie nightgown—is made
of charcoal denim, in three sec
tions, and is as handy as money,
on a vacation.

Wedding Bells in Dogpatch
Daisy Mae's Charms
Overcome La Abner
Li'? Abner gat married
This came as surprising and shocking news to millions of comic
' strip readers. The 'ideel' American youth married.
If you hiive ever followed the adventures of this hulking youth
through the somewhat satirical comic-strip by Al Capp, you know
of . his many close shaves in the
past with matrimony. With the
wordS of "I do" on his lips, Li'l
Abner was always saved by some
sudden . change in circumstance
or twist of fate,
But all this is ended now; Daisy
Mae Scragg is the new bride.
After pursuing. Capp's hero since
the 'strip began' 18 years ago, she
finally reached her goal, Mrs. Li'l
Abner. ,
Possible Explanation
Why did' Li'l Abner suddenly
change his mind after successfully
dodging the vain efforts of Daisy
Mae all year round, and outrun
ning her on Sadie Hawkins Day?
Readers explain that the clean
living and honorable native of
Dogpatch joined the loyal fol
lowers of - F earl e s s Fosdick,
Capp's p ar o d y of Dick Tracy.
swearing to live in exactly the
same way as the club idol, Fear
less. When faced with the pros
pect 'of either marriage or unem
ployment,. Fosdick married hi s
nine-year courting g 1 r 1 friend,
Prudence Pimpleton. Abner fol
lowed the" footsteps of his idol
and married Daisy Mae.
- In the March 31 Time news
magazine, the story of the mar
riage appears under the headline
"Unthinkable." Currently ap
pearing.in Life is an article writ
ten by the originator of Li'l Ab
ner, cartoonist Capp, explaining
why he finally married off the
hero of his popular strip.
Capp explains. that the mar
riage will open new' problems
and adventures for the hero. The
cartoonist added that he origi
nally intended to go on fooling
his readers by never marrying
Li'l Abner, as they expected. But
on re-examination of both Abner
and Daisy Mae, he found them
really human, and began wonder
ing what it would really be like
if they were married.
Capp has come up with some
real surprises for his readers in
the past, and - the marriage • is
probably just one more along the
way, .with many more to follow.
