: In every woman’s wardrobe,
in every closet, corner, or what-
ever—there hides a pair of
slacks! We all wear them;
whether it’s for dress, fun or
just to knock around in—they
sure come in handy!
Much as we wear them, I've
seen many that were a ‘slip
slop’ job of putting them to-
gether—with no regard for siz-
ing or style. I've always
thought, if you're going to make
it, make it right, or it’s not
worth making in the first place!
Slacks can really do something
for you—or didn’t you know
what’ the guys were whistling
at?
The first step in any clothing
construction is sizing. Sizing
frequently aries ‘in bought
clothes, buf’
-own we can be assured of a per-
fect fit every time. Your most
common measurements: are:
waist (natural” waistline), hips
(7-97 below the natural waist),
crotch deh (seated), thigh
(fullest part of upper leg), and
side length (waistline to ankle
and hem).
.I’ll only go into detail on one
of these, but each time I show
you a slack pattern I'll explain
another. Let’s start with the
crotch measurment, as this al-
ways seems to be a problem
Take your measurement sit-
ting straight in a chair—
measure from your natural
waistline to the seat of the
chair. Next measure the dist-
ance from the waist seam to the
crotch line on your pattern,
allowing %”’ to 1’ for ease.
If your body measurement is
less than the pattern, measure
the difference up from the
alteration line (the line that is
marked ‘lengthen or shorten
here) on your pattern and draw
on the alteration line and bring
it up to your new line—pin in
place.
If your body measurement is
more than the pattern, cut the
pattern apart on the alteration
line and separate the needed
difference. Place tissue paper
pattern—Simplicity 5090.
Imagine the variations that can
be done with this pattern! The
yoked back seam extends down
the length of the legs. A varia-
tion with colors would prove in-
teresting. It comes in junior
petites and misses sizes—choice
of fabrics is unlimited!

The benefactor membership
in Theater 3 entitles the
member to two reserved seats
for each of the three Theater 3
presentations. But the mem-
bership” means much more,
according .to. Mr. Gartner, as
the money is used to promote
higher education within the
area through the facilities of
College Misericordia. Through
the money raised in the cam-
paign, the college will be able to
offer more and better academic
materials for the students and
to help economically disadvant-
aged students achieve a college
degree, Mr. Gartner said.
Theatre 3 benefactors also
directly aid the area in
promoting the dissemination of
culture within the community,
Mr. Gartner said, as the three
presentations immeasurably
enrich the cultural atmosphere
of the community.
The benefactor campaign will
continue through the middle of
August. Interested persons
may contact the Theatre 3 office
at College Misericordia for ad-
ditional information.

son, extension clothing special-
ist at The Pennsylvania State
University.
The Federal Trade Commis-
sion has issued a ruling which

tions for their care and main-
tenance. This ruling, which goes
into effect July 3 applies to all
clothes manufactured after that
date—but not to clothes that are
still in stock. ;
Mrs. Wilson explains that this
ruling affects finished textile
garments and hosiery requiring
care and maintenance for or-
dinary use, domestic and im-
ported clothing, and hand-craft-
ed clothing made for sale. The
rule also requires that textile
piece goods sold to consumers
for the purpose of making wear-
ing apparel must be accompan-
ied by care labels which home
sewers can permanently attach
to the finished product by sew-
ing or ironing.
Items of apparel not covered
by the ruling include headwear,
footwear—except hosiery—and
handwear such as gloves and
mittens; apparel which re-
quires no care such as dispos-
able products; completely
washable items intended to sell
for less than $3 such as men’s
and boys’ underwear; and
items such as scarves whose
use or appearance would be im-
paired by a permanently at-
tached label. ;

Wilson, must be accompanied
by the care information in
