Conspicuous Hem If a hem crease is conspicuous, it can usually be removed by wetting the crease line on the wrong side. Then, turning the goods over on the right side, roll the crease back and forth with the fingers to work it out. Press afterward oft the wrong side. Such a simple device as lowering a hem may be enough to keep last season’s dress right in style. Such a saving is well worth some extra minutes at the ironing board. “iTriplett Team Has Two Home Games Sportsmen Nine Will Appear In One 21 ___ ol the coming week, with the 0| Triplett crew appearing in two tilts I and the Sportsmen’s tfam perform 2] I ing the other. 4 spen the week’s Fostoria Screw at 8:15 this Fri again next Tues Ottoville as the op- again.-* Products I day, and will pla} I day night with and Mrs. Wayne Zimmerman I ponent. were callers Sunday!
