When picking out a new style for the holiday season ahead, don't make a selection from looks alone. Take your new gar ment into the fitting room and get acquainted. Don't expect a new garment to move up smoothly over your figure. One garment may give just the right control anoth er, similar one, may deceive you by not giving enough. Make sure your basic is on straight that the center panel is really in the center. Unless it's on right, you'll be uncomfortable, and you won't get the maximum support. When hose supporters are fastened, stand up straight and take a good look in the mirror to see where and how much support your getting. If you plan to wear the new basic with a slim skirt, and you have a full figure, don't expect a light weight elastic pull-on to do an effective control job. Be sure to sit down in your new girdle to see if you are just as comfortable sitting as stand ing. Often a girdle 'that seems Ion? enough and large enough while standing, rides up and cuts when you're seated. Don't choose a girdle that is too tight. It's bound to become one of your worst enemies in a few short hours. So if you are planning to buy a new girdle for that new holi day dress, do take it into a fit ting room, slip it on with the help of a clerk (pa or the kids will help you at home) and see that you are comfortable, and have a smooth fit. You'll don your clothes with the assurance you've chosen a foundation that does the most for your figure.

Overdrying that is, leaving clothes in the dryer after, all moister is removed adds to the cost of operation of the appli ance and may be hard on fab rics. Yet it is a common mis take of new owners of dryers. The specialist found that table linens which were left too long in the dryer come out so limp that it is difficult to restore their crispness without moisten- from serving in Alaska and after a month's leave will leave for Germany. Mrs. Puhl is employed in Wisconsin and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bivens, the former Rita Jo Bivens. The Bivens family lived near Eagle before moving to Wisconsin.

The housewife should consult the timing guide which came with her dryer. As she becomes more familiar with her dryer, she can work out more exact timing for the various pieces in her laundry. Shirts, sheets and pillowcases, table linens, or other items to be ironed should come out of the . dryer while still slightly damp. Bath' towels, chenille spreads, bath mats, cot- uuii iugs ana corauroys can be fully dried in the dryer and will come out fluffy and ready for use. It is economical to-take a load from the dryer as soon as it is dry, the specialist tells us. This is especially so when more than j one load of clothes is to be wash t ed and dried. The dryer should be ready to receive the new load ! as soon as the washer has fin ished with it. a The Aifny Field Band has traveled more than 300,000 miles during the past eight years.
