Homemaker's

Diary

Cood fit and good quality -two important points to romember when buying clothes for man.

T

O-DAY let's talk about the men-folk. We are some- times inclined to forget that the man is the main- spring of the house, and that looking after his clothes is a very important part of the home- maker's job.

An outütter told me recently that about 75 per cent, of men's clothes are bought by women, and this in- cludes underwear and extras such as pullovers, belts and socks,

So, with the Easter holidinys Just round the corner, let's give the man's

and see how we can get best value in the necessary replacements.

One point that strikes me is that sizes are ton often left to chance. Do you know your husband's size in hats and shoes, and, even more important. in collars and underwear?

It's a good fden, if you have to shop form, to have these details in black and white. together with his chent and waist measurement, length of arin and so on, so that you can check up while you are in the shop.

You may find, for instance. That to needs a slightly larger size in vests than he does in trunka. Buying the lgger size will leave plenty of room for his extra inches round the chest. Men always go for comfort in at when they shop....

Which is a good reason for buying the best you can afford. Details like buttonholes are better finished on good quality garments, and the material won't shrink or lose its shape in the

Athletic Style

One of the most satisfactory mate- rials in this direction that I have come across for some time is the new Wolsey improved interlock. It has plenty of give in the right places, but keeps its shape, and I noticed that it is made up into athletic shape vests, and trunks with clastic at the waist.

Men being conservative over co- tour in underwear, these garments are made only in white.

Cool Comfort

My own menfolk at choose pure wool socks. They say that they do not chafe and are cool and com-

fortable for summer wear,

There are some lovely browns, blues, greens and lovats among the Wolsey Cardinal socks, in addition to plalu navy, black and white.

In colour, by the way, there is n tendency towards heathery blues and greens.

I have noticed this especially in socks and in clothes for sportswear.

Mention of sports also reminds me that We shall soon be thinking of swim suits. If you are buying one of these for a man, you have the choice of three sizes in both shorts and bathing suits.

One of the brightest ideas is the "twosome" bathing suit. This is made in a new fancy stitel. The top is detach- able at the waist, so that the shorts can be worn alone, for i sun-bathing.

Three Ways

BOTH our pockets and our health benefit by the use of cooking apples. At this time of the year, however, they tend to become rather flavourless.

Here is a trio of recipes which may help to make them more interesting:
