Look Pretty
While You Work
The homemaker is generally
conceded to be relatively busy, but
she herself would admit that much.
of the time she is not pretty while
busy. That's why Inez LaBossier,
extension clothing specialist at
Rutgers University, suggests that
homemakers make a special effort
to have prettier working clothes!*
True, the homemsker may labor
like a work horse, but that doesn't
mean she has to look like one,
points out the State University
I specialist. Many women insist
i upon haying attractive street
clothes and won't go out of the j
house unless they are all dressed
up. Yet these same women care
very litfe about their appearance
around the house and their working
clothes consist of sleazy-fr>oking
housedresses or dresses dis-
carded because they no» longer
were attractive enough for the
street!
If you are guilty in this respect,
take a tip from waitresses, beauty
operators and nurses who wear a
uniform to insure good appearance.
You can dignify the profession
of homemakrng . . . and you're
not limited to a uniform. Your
dress must allow plenty of freedom
for reaching and stooping and
must be reasonably easy to wash
and i ron. But beyond that, the
sky is the limit when it comes
to choosing gay attractive colors,
|. pretty jnaterial and becoming
styles.
The appearance of the sleeveless
dress this year is made-to-order
for the active housekeeper. In
making such a dress it is not sufficient
to omit the sleeves and finish
off the armhole. The shoulder line
iii a sleeveless dress should be
extended one-half to three-quarters
of an inch beyond the normal
line. -
Neat fitting slacks were an improvement
for many over unattractive
housedresses, but some
women do not care to wear them
on the street and unexpected
emergencies all too often make a
quick trip to town necessary.
Culottes, or the divided skirt, are
a nice compromise. They provide
the more feminine appearance of
a skirt, but still allow the freedom
of slacks.
In 1849, 1.564,000 Americans were
injured in traffic accidents.

Announcing
Garden Topics
By
Essex County Extension Service
Proper cutting of the lawn is
important if one wishes the turf
to survive summer weeds and hot
weather. One can ruin a good
lawn in one season by cutting it
too short and by not cutting at
the proper time.
It is well to allow the grass to
grow approximately up to three
inches tall before the first cutting
in order to allow development of a
good root system. If allowed to
grow too tall it will, however, look
coarse and ugly for a few weeks
after once cut.
Frequency of cutting depends
upon the amount of top growth
the plants make. If the turf is
growing properly in spring end
fall, cutting once a week may not
be sufficient while cutting weekly
in hot and dry weather may do a
lot of harm.
The height of cut is the more
important. Close cutting encourages
a shallow root system and
weed growth. The stationary blade
on the mower should be set l^i to
l>,a inches above level surface.
Regular mowing when there is an
inch of g\ "th to cut off with the
mower blk set properly, makes
a neat look\ • lawn.
Cutting ck\ than abm e means
that more waV ..will be necessary
during dry spells because the
roots will be shallower than at
higher cuts. The requent watering

In addition it is essential to have
the mower sharp. A dull mower
has a tendency to chew or tear the
grass, giving the ends of the grass

even disturbing the roots. A sheet

determine if the revolving blades
are set close enough to make a
