· Are you the girl who enters wholeheartedly into whatever you do,
whether work or play? lf you are this type you know how much easier
 ` it is to forget yourself and enter into an activity when you are com-
 ' fortably and appropriately dressed for it. Clothes can be a stimulant, I  
 A making one feel peppy and at ease, or they can be a hindrance, making _
one feel low and uncomfortable. It is as important to be dressed right
, for play and work as it is for dress-up occasions. Isn’t it ridiculous
‘ to see a girl playing a strenuous game in an organdy dress and high
A heels, and being very, very careful not to get mussed? She isn’t having V _
V    g any fun herself and is a wet blanket for the group. So in order to (
{ici] ` enioy life and accomplish things, the girl of today must have COIN-
    fortable, attractive clothes, suited to the job to be done.

l GIRLS AND SPORTSMANSHIP
  Girls of today do things. They like to work as well as to
} have fun. A chgge in attitude regarding hard manual labor li
is noticeable. Girls are not ashamed of cleaning, washing,
scrubbing, and helping out with farm work. It has become
-, patriotic and praiseworthy to grow a garden, to can tomatoes, 1 y
j and do many other jobs which roughen the hands. This
IQ Change in attitude makes girls happy when they do everyday T
things as well as emergency jobs. So 4-H Club girls are ` r
I becoming finer, wiser, and better by their project work. I l
Q People who do things are better sportsmen; they can appre- { z
  ciate others and their accomplishments. Let our Club girls    
 g work with vision, play hard, take honors with humble pride,    
 Q 311d defeat with calm determination. This unit of sewing V l
V. is intended to supply you with the outfit needed for the
job you have to do. (
