A guide explains fabric behavior in washing and ironing. It notes rayon and acetate differ in care with acetate needing specific handling, while rayon resists heat and can be ironed with a hot iron.
Special handling by GAILE OUGAS explains acetate must be washed lukewarm and heated with care to avoid fusion by hot iron. Rayon offers comfort from greater absorbency, both fabrics moth resistant and retain whiteness with age. Examples show acetate in a dress with jacket and Carolyn Schaurey using both fabrics in crepe designs for spring and summer wear.

A fragment from a bridge column shows missing suit details and bids. It references North South and East West hands with cards such as K74 AQTS AK1094 and A8d WES5SZ oKI62, suggesting a deal outline or commentary.

South later delays trump loss by laying down trumps, but must still weather a diamond return and adjust to the suit layout with careful planning.
A fragment describes South and declarer choices after West shift threats in a bridge hand. It mentions Enat, Schamel, Mrs. W. F. Carter, Mia, Ruth Richmond, West, and dummy clubs while evaluating whether to finesse diamonds or discard on dummy’s clubs.
