Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thrift Clothing A contribution can be made by every girl and woman who knows how to sew if they will make the effort to conserve the supply of textiles and other clothing materials by seeing the possibilities in the outgrown or partly worn garments now hanging in closets or stored away. The following suggestions about made-over garments are given with the idea of thrift and economy in view, whereby the supply of new clothing material may be released for the service of those who necessarily must have strong, warm and new material. Sewing classes in schools now have the chance, while the enthusiasm for thrift is in the air, to learn to cut by pattern with the added interest of shaping the result into a new article from that which otherwise would be discarded. Cleansing, repairing, remodel ling may have the interest of becoming almost a game, the goal of which is to attain new garments from old ones by plotting, planning, twisting and turning until the old yields the new in form and purpose. Hats, cloaks, dresses, men's coats, trousers, overcoats, knit underwear, with accessories such as tape, linings, buttons, hooks and eyes, ribbons, pieces of silk, velvet, cotton goods, buckles, may all contri bute to new shapes and designs under the manipula tion of fingers in training, directed by the ingenuity of teachers who are stimulated to their best efforts by the present emergency.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Clothing: Choice, Care, Cost Waste is one of the main causes of high prices. It has become a habit with large numbers of people, but must be checked or prices may go still higher. This can only be accomplished by each individual consumer and family buyer locking her pocketbook and only opening it when an article is absolutely necessary for health and comfort in living, is a worthy article, and is not too high in price for its intrinsic value. To do this wisely will require the education of many of our citizens in the entire field of expenditure, including the Wise selection of textiles and clothing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from You and Your Laundry All of these early and traditional methods were based on the idea of friction, either by rubbing the pieces on a board or pounding them with some form of paddle. This rub-a-dub-dub method persisted for centuries, not because it was the best way to remove soil from clothing, but because no one, until recent times, studied to find some new and more efficient washing principles. Just as for thousands of years people cooked their food by hold ing it on a stick over a bed of hot coals, because more advanced methods of using an iron range or an electric grill had not been dis covered, so too, women everywhere have followed the old drudgery washboard-friction habit of washing because the wonderful, labor saving methods of machine washing were not yet perfected.

Book excerpt: First place winner for "Popular Presentation of the Catholic Faith" from the Catholic Press Association! Thrift Store Saints is a collection of true stories based on Jane Knuth’s experiences serving the poor at a St. Vincent de Paul thrift store in the inner city of Kalamazoo, Michigan. At the outset of the book, Knuth is a reluctant new volunteer at the store, sharing that her middle-class, suburban, church-going background has not prepared her well for this kind of work. By the end of the book, Knuth has undergone a transformation of sorts, and neither she nor we can ever view the poor in the same way again. Knuth’s transformation is rooted in the prevailing message of Thrift Store Saints: When we serve the poor, they end up helping us as much as we help them. Throughout the book we are introduced to new “saints,” as Knuth thoughtfully, at times humorously, describes how her encounters with the poorest people led her to the greatest riches of God’s grace. Thrift Store Saints makes clear that it doesn’t require heroic Mother Teresa-types to make a difference with the poor, and it even more powerfully shows us that working with them is not gloomy, depressing work. Knuth’s moving stories demonstrate the profound joy any of us can experience when we see serving the poor not as social work, but as a spiritual path that leads us to the heart of Jesus.

Materials are usually taken for granted. It is true that any other clothing manufacturer can offer the same fabrics if he is willing to take the trouble. This is the story of supreme willingness to "take the trouble" and to lay the basis of honest materials for artistic tailoring.

Book excerpt: Vintage Readers are a perfect introduction to some of the greatest modern writers presented in attractive, accessible paperback editions. “Murakami’s bold willingness to go straight over the top is a signal indication of his genius. . . . A world-class writer who has both eyes open and takes big risks.” —The Washington Post Book World Not since Yukio Mishima and Yasunari Kawabata has a Japanese writer won the international acclaim enjoyed by Haruki Murakami. His genre-busting novels, short stories and reportage, which have been translated into 35 languages, meld the surreal and the hard-boiled, deadpan comedy and delicate introspection. Vintage Murakami includes the opening chapter of the international bestseller Norwegian Wood; “Lieutenant Mamiya’s Long Story: Parts I and II” from his monumental novel The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle; “Shizuko Akashi” from Underground, his non-fiction book on the Toyko subway attack of 1995; and the short stories “Barn Burning,” “Honeypie.” Also included, for the first time in book form, the short story, “Ice Man.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Textiles and Clothing This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highly developed and complicated machinery of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text. The authors emphasize the finished products and their relation to the household. Chapters have been introduced on the purchase, testing and economical use of textile ma terial, with the hope of pointing the way to a concrete and practical application of the study of textiles. The woman of to-day can no longer afford to be untrained in this respect, and because of present economic conditions a definite obliga tion is laid upon her to understand the nature and real worth of clothing material and house furnishings, in order to buy with judgment and economy. The girl in high school has the opportunity to acquire this knowledge, which will function in her later life. We are gradually breaking away from the formal teaching of sewing as an isolated subject.

Book excerpt: In her newest well-tuned, witty, and altogether wonderful novel, bestselling author Elinor Lipman dares to ask: Can an upper-middle-class doctor find love with a shady, fast-talking salesman? Meet Alice Thrift, surgical intern in a Boston hospital, high of I.Q. but low in social graces. She doesn’t mean to be acerbic, clinical, or blunt, but where was she the day they taught Bedside Manner 101? Into Alice’s workaholic and wallflower life comes Ray Russo, a slick traveling fudge salesman in search of a nose job and well-heeled companionship, but not necessarily in that order. Is he a conman or a sincere suitor? Good guy or bad? Alice’s parents, roommate, and best friend Sylvie are appalled at her choice of mate. Despite her doubts, Alice finds herself walking down the aisle, not so much won over as worn down. Will their marriage last the honeymoon? Only if Alice’s best instincts can triumph over Ray’s unsavory ways.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Continental Clothing House: Facts and Figures for Everybody Into this vigorously pulsating heart of glorious things that are to be, this headquarters of a business activity which the most sanguine human forecast doubtless falls far short of correctly measuring in advance, we come to swell the tide with our contribution of capital, labor and enterprise, and to meet, as we believe, a manifest want of the people of Omaha and the splendid country of which it is the capital. We hope to merit the favor and custom not only of Omaha, but of the people beyond it on all sides; the people of Lincoln, the handsome capital of the State, and of all the ﬂourishing towns and settlements along the various lines that converge upon and enter Omaha. We hope, too, to offer advantages in our line of business to the shrewd, wide awake people who come to Omaha from all along the Platte River, from Cheyenne, from the plains of Laramie to find a host of other patrons convinced that we can give them the best goods at the lowest figures, in Kansas City, Topeka, Denver and Colorado, and from all over the great plains, even unto Ogden and the Salt Lake City.

Book excerpt: The first published work of fiction by legendary author and poet Gertrude Stein, Three Lives is a collection of two short stories and a novella focusing on the bleak existence that faced immigrant and minority women in turn-of-the-century America. Each impoverished woman must labor as a domestic worker to survive, and all three protagonists have their own tales of hardship. "The Good Anna" tells the story of a young German servant who must decide between loyalty to her employer and love. In "The Gentle Lena," another German servant girl marries the wrong man, and finds herself trapped as a wife and mother. And the introspective "Melanctha" examines the tragic life of a mulatto woman and those she loved. Pocket Books' Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enriched for the contemporary reader. This edition of Three Lives has been prepared by Brenda Wineapple, professor of Modern Literary and Historical Studies at Union College. It includes her introduction, a selection of critical excerpts, and suggestions for further reading, as well as a unique visual essay of period illustrations and photographs.
