'Bright Ideas' Is No Misnomer For The Engineers' Wives Club
COEDS' CORNER
"Bright Ideas" is their name—and they've got 'em!
When the Engineers Wives club was reorganized at the beginning of school this fall, it was confronted with two major problems. First, there were too many members to fit into the ordinary Lawrence house for a club meeting. Second, there were varied interests among the members about what the meetings should concern. Some wanted to play bridge; others wanted to discuss household problems.
The solution was to split the club meetings: a bridge section and a
The members themselves teach each other the tricks of houskeeping. When one member wants the trade secrets on knitting baby a pink sweater, she is taught by another member who knows how. It's the same situation with darning your husband's sox or turning a collar on his shirt. But it's not just a sewing circle.
Some of the members specialize in wood carving, clav modeling, and needlepoint work. They pass their knowledge on to the other club members.
In the last few meetings, the members have been solving some of their small gift problems by making little wall plaques from cut-out chintz flowers and cardboard frames. These make attractive kitchen hangers for dish cloths.
Next month, they're going to make dress forms for easier home dressmaking. After that, they want to try their hand at making shell jewelry.
The second semester schedule calls for a short course in home decoration which should produce delightful results in Lawrence and Sunflower apartments.
The group meets on the first and third Monday of each month in some member's home in Lawrence. There are 32 members now in the group and its growing fast. They've got "Bright Ideas."
