Even in an age of space cadets and toyland rockets to the moon, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy never have lost their appeal for small fry: The affection of children everywhere for these. colorful char- acters with woolly red hair and rag-bag costumes remains con- stant, despite a trend toward frighteningly human dolls. Every child should-have a Rag- edy Ann and Andy at some point in his life, and sewing center. ex- perts offer some tips on sewing them so they retain all their cheer- ful charm. You can get-a standard pattern for the dolls, including a transfer design for the faces, which may be embroidered on your sewing. ma- chine. The bodies are made of a half yard’ of 35-inch flesh-colored muslin ‘and_stuffed with cotton bat- ting. ‘Their clothes can be made | from ragbag scraps. By the time a baby is 6 to 7 months old he'discovers he can throw. About now he’ll enjoy playing ball. He'll sit on the floor and push a big ball away from him and love to have you push it back so he can do it again. During the first year a baby doesn’t need many bought toys, but you'll probably want to get him some. Get plastic rattles, rings, big beads ‘on a string, small stuffed animal or two,- or tails to wiggle are more fun than snug ones. He'll like a soft rubber toy that squeaks. A large soft-ball and something that dumps into something else are good toward the end of the first year. Watch out that every toy-is safe. Be sure it is too big to choke on, and has no looses parts that can come off, like whistles. in rubber toys, buttons on stuffed animals, stones in rattles. See that | there Raggedy Ann’s calico dress re- quires a half yard of. fabric; her white apron and long drawers call for another half yard. Raggedy Andy’s shirt of gingham is only.1/4 yard, and his blue trousers are 3/8 yard. “Holiday Sketches” For Raggedy Ann, the waist and legs of her.drawers as well as the sleeves of her dress and waistband of her apron are stitched with]. elastic thread. The elastic thread is wound on the bobbin of your electric sewing machine. The amount of gathering is controlled by the nufnber of stitches to the inch. The fewer the stitches the greater the amount of fullness. ~ Club Calendar Publicity chairmen for organizations listed in the Club Calendar are requested to notify the society editor if there has been any change in the REGULAR date, time or place of meetings so that the calendar will be correct at all times.

The irresistible charm of these. rag dolls has been known to outlast years of newer toys. When the shiniest electric train has gone to a rusty grave, and when the most appealing blue-eyed baby doll has been given away, Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, faded but valiant, will still have top billing. —AP Newsfeatures Musical Revue To Be Presented At USO Tonight “Holiday Sketches,” a musical show, written and directed by the dance instructors of the Pinder School of Dance will be presented at the USO-YMCA on Whitehead Street tonight.

A few years ago Miss Lewyt vol- unteered to help her brother com- pile some facts about how modern women clean house and she has been at it ever since. The brother is Alex Lewyt, manufacturer of vacuum cleaners and other items, Says Madge, who bears the title of research consultant: “In recent surveys I have found that women who work at a full- time job away from home all day tackle their housework. the same way they do their office work. They organize it efficiently and don’t get bogged down in it. “Women who stay at home all day are likely to dawdle along at housework, using the old-fashioned methods they learned from their mothers. There’s probably some- thing psychological about it. These women have a feeling they aren’t doing a big important job in just keeping house, and so they try to’! make it.sound as hard as possible. “These are the women who do most of the complaining when their husbands come home at night, and the ones who act hurt if ‘Ful their husbands don’t help with t dishes or other chores.” Working women, on the ot! hand, says Miss Lewyt, seem \ take pride in being able to do jobs and do both well. She says: “Most women who work outside the home get the house cleaned up in the evening after dinner, and give the house a thorough: clean- ing once a week, usually on Satur« days. “They learn to empty ashtrays and straighten up the living room before th€y go to bed at night, spending only a few minutes at it, but leaving it neat. They put away their clothes when they take them off, and keep up with all the little things that keep a house neat, ine stead of letting them pile up.” Miss Lewyt has found:that some ‘women take all day to clean house simply because they have all day to spend. Actually it should be possible to give a thorough clean- ing to a three or four-room apart ment in not more than two hours, she says. Says Miss Lewyt: “After the years I’ve spent in- quiring into such things, I’ve be- come convinced that it’s better for both wives and husbands if the wife has a job outside the home, provided there are no small chil- dren. A job keeps her busy, alert and interested, and she becomes a better homemaker as well.” EE Free Dance Set For Tonight At Bayview Park Another in a series of dances sponsored the City Recreation domes and the local musi- cians’ union has been scheduled at Bayview Park tonight. The dance wil be held on the en- larged basketball court beginning at 7:30 p. m.
