Each includes a separate, tailored skirt, which transforms the play suit into a spectacular sports frock with shirtwaist top.

Sharkskin, gabardine, gingham and denim are good fabric choices for mother and daughter alike. Barbara Bell Pattern No. 1978-B is designed for sizes 2, 4. 6, 8 and 10 years. Size 4 requires three yards of 35-inch material without nap.

HELEN WORTH New York Is a Lonely City of Heartbreak But the Right Friends Can Correct That Dear Helen Worth--For quite some time I have wanted to write you, but kept putting it off because I thought yours was distinctly a "woman's department." But last night I noticed a letter in your column where someone wanted men and women between 25 and 30 to join a group interested in hiking, picnics, etc. Perhaps I am eligible for that group. I am in my early 30's. single and until recently a.

teacher in a private school. The school closed due to financial difficulties and now I have a very poorly paid job and I never know from one week to the next whether it will continue or not. As a result. I hesitate to invite any young lady out due to the fact that I couldn't take her where I'd like to--movies, theaters. concerts, etc.

However, when one is practically alone in a big city like New York, life becomes very lonely at times. Like another of your correspondents, I sit at home (if a room in a boarding house deserves that appellation) and play solitaire. My idea in writing you is the hope that I may meet a group who are congenial. While I don't know any of the newest dances, feel sure I could learn easily. I sincerely hope that through your column life will take on a new meaning to me.

H. B. Resents Scoffers My dear H. so often I feel burned up (and it does not require the past week's temperatures to accomplish this). Even in zero weather my blood boils when the casual conversationalist scoffs, sneers, jeers, or inquires derisively as to "the lonelies" and why should be? There are many reasons why young men and women-and older ones, too, find themselves lonely in this huge place.

Your own letter reveals one man's reasons for being lonely--and for doing something constructive to remedy your quenching quality put these drinks in front for warm weather. Orange Quench cup milk 1 teaspoon sugar cup orange juice Combine ingredients, beat until thoroughly blended. Serve chilled. Makes one serving. Variation: Add teaspoon cinnamon, for Spiced Orange Milk.

Fresh Banana Frosted 1 fully ripe banana 1 scoop vanila ice cream 5 ounces cold milk Peel banana and break it into pieces directly into shaker cup in mixer or mixing bowl.

Add other ingredients and beat until creamy. Makes one serving. Note: When an electric drink mixer is used which does not cut up and crush fruit as it mixes, the banana should be mashed before being placed into mixer cup. Place mashed banana with other ingredients into mixer cup and whip until creamy. picture hat of horsehair in matching color and she carried an arm spray of Spring flowers.
