For more than two decades she i edited _mag- ig. themselves. such names as “Love Story Mag- azine.” . “Right now,” she goes on, “everyone thinks they have to cash in on this realism business, but pretty soon they'll have to ask themselves if they haven’t gone far enough with shocker stuff like alcoholism, snake-pits, crime and sex. They'll have to ask ‘themselves whether they’ve real- ly been engaged in uplift—or just peeking into sordid lives.” She is torn between disapproval and amusement at the current practice in Hollywood and on television of writing in a love theme rather than developing a good, sound story line in which the ‘motivation frankly . springs |from romantic sentiments. “In spite of the fact that they know most people enjoy a love story, the tendency nowadays is to treat love as if it were an ice- box leftover which should be added to a main course so_ it won't be wasted,” she complains. “And nokody can tell me that’s satisfactory.” And because she’s convinced that the wheel of fashion is now swinging from unhappy realism to pleasant stories reflecting a gentler world, Daisy Bacon has written a primer for would-be love story writers. For some rea- son, she says, ambitious authors seem to think that writing love stories is the easiest job in fiction. “It isn’t,” she cautions stern- ly. “And a hundred clinches don’t make a love story. Every- one who has had any experience with romance—divorcees, girls who have been through a couple of engagements—think they can string together a series of em- braces, add some moonlight, and come up with a love story. ‘Actually, the love story. is all that any other story is except that it is motivated by the love | angle. Some very good ones have been written without using even | the werd ‘love’ once and-without a single embrace.” |. Daisy Bacon’s book, laced heavily with her own experiences through years of coping with | authors good and bad, has a hat- ful of rules for ambitious young writers of any kind. Among other sound pieces of advice, she ad- monishes against trying to write stories against an unfamiliar background or using unfamiliar | characters. | Embryo writers are advised to study the publication to which they Propose to submit their work, }make their manuscript neat and jelecn, 9-4.to-entit | age.

One of the easiest ways to attain a luxurious look for your bath- room is to brighten it up with some handsome monograms on shower curtain and towels, Time was when monograms were expensive, but now, with the new automatic sewing machines and attachments, it’s easy and thrifty to do them yourself. Sewing center experts suggest appliqued monograms as effective and simpée, They advise selecting a fresh new color scheme for the bathroom as a_ starting _ point, choosing towels and shower cur- tains in a coordinated theme. One effective combination is green and white. A plain white ny- Jon shower curtain can have a huge Monogram in green, and dark green bath towels are handsome when monogrammed*in white. The appliqued monograms may be stitched on either with one of the new swing-needle machines or with the zigzag attachment on a watch out for so many things; |° that what he writes does not be- come silly.” And how about.

Then, using either the swing-needle machine or the zigzag attachment, stitch around the outline of the monogram. Use a small, sharp pair of scissors to trim away ex- cess fabric. You'll find this such an easy way of making monograms that you may want to stitch up a batch of handsome monogrammed towels for Christmas presents.
