Smart Knitwear Is A Must In A College Woman's Wardrobe
Dame fashion changes her decree from season to season, but in one thing she is steadfast—the importance of knitwear in the college woman's wardrobe. So as you relax listening to the radio or chatting with your friends keep those nimble fingers busy creating the smartest knitted wardrobe on the campus. Here are a few tips on the best ways to use your knitting tools and finish your garment with a custom look.
Wherever possible a new ball of yarn should be joined with a knot at the seam edge. If it is necessary to join new yarn in the middle of a row, the ends can be spliced invisibly by threading the new yarn into a needle and weaving it back through the old yarn for about three inches. Remove needle and give a slight pull to straighten yarn. Leave short end on wrong side of work and cut off later when several rows have been knitted.
It is important to get the guage recommended, that is, the specified number of stitches and rows to the inch. If you knit tighter or looser than average it may be necessary to use another size needle. It is a good idea to test yourself by knitting a small piece about four inches square. Measure off two inches crosswise and lengthwise; count your stitches and rows per inch. If you have fewer stitches than specified you need a smaller needle; if you have more stitches you need a larger needle.
As you are knitting if you happen to drop a stitch it must be picked up and placed on needle. Use a crochet hook to catch the loose stitch and work it up on the horizontal thread of each successive row until you reach the row on which you are working.
Careful blocking is essential if you want the garment to have and hold its shape. Before sewing up seams work as follows: place garment on flat, padded surface, wrong side up.
Special Show Presents Silver Patterns
A Silver Show by Towle sterling will be given at a meeting of the Home Economics club, 8 p.m. Tuesday. Room 110. Fraser.
All girls interested in the show are invited to attend the meeting. A colored film, table settings, and samples of each of the Towle patterns will be shown.
Refreshments will be served by the November program committee, Dolores Dean, College junior, chairman. Miss Doreen Kennedy, home economics instructor, is advisor to the committee.
Pin the edges to the measurements given in the instructions (ribbing should not be stretched.) Be sure to use rust proof pins, keeping them $ \frac{1}{4} $ inch apart. If garment is made in separate pieces such as back, front, sleeves, two identical pieces may be blocked at one time. Place a damp cloth over the pieces already pinned and press with a hot iron. Do not lean heavily on the iron, but press sufficiently to allow steam to go through garment. Remove pins when thoroughly driv.
To sew the seams, place the right sides together and pin seams so that all parts of the garment are evenly matches. Sew with the same yarn used in knitting.

Actress' Idea Of A 'Cooling-Off' Period Causes 863 Red-Hot Letters To Pour In
Hollywood—(U.P.)—Janis Carter peeked out from behind a deluge of red-hot letters today and said a lot of people don't agree with her idea of a legal "cooling off" period before marriage.
"You should see some of these," she said weakly. "They accuse me of everything from a nasty mind to being against marriage."
"They said they always thought I was a good example of the clean-living element of Hollywood," she explained. "Now they think I'm just a nasty-minded female who goes around advocating free love."
But she lost at least three longtime Janis Carter fans.
But most of Miss Carter's letters were from males. And they expected number air-mailed "woo-woo" suggestions they'd be only too happy to "cool off" with Miss C. any time she gave the word.
"And the women! They really let me have it. After the preliminaries of why in blankety-blank don't I mind my own business, they said how did I expect them to get a man to the altar if the law made them wait six months to cinch the deal?"
"One of the most interesting was from a psychologist," she said. "He agreed 100 per cent that my system would prevent a lot of divorces."
Miss Carter made headlines a while back when she announced it's too easy to get married in this country and too tough to get divorced.
But even this gentleman couldn't resist a P.S. He wanted to discuss the whole thing in more detail—over a cozy dinner, somewhere.
This was her sentiment—and all over the country 863 people sat down to write her just what they thought of her.
For the record, the beautiful Janis opposes this. She says her ideas are just the other way around.
"One lawyer really blistered me," Miss Carter chuckled. "Said what was I trying to do—ruin all his divorce business?"
She said she thought engaged couples ought to have to wait six months before they say "I do." She said this would weed out the starry-eyed lovers who were bound to start scrapping even before the honeymoon bills were paid.
"Not free love," she says, "expensive love. If it costs you something—even six months of delay—the you're bound to take better care of it."
