Sooner or later it had to come— the “Believe It Or Not” printed fabric. And it has come in the form of house or garden smocks. The dancing cactus, the toothless bulldog, the lighthouse without a light, the man who lives in a butter churn, Tom Thumb (3in. tall), the unwelcome house which had no front steps and the door was nailed shut. The forgotten woman alone on a ship for 108 days, the homing geese which, at the close of day, go home to their owner’s door, the great train robbery when a whole train was stolen in Rumania are some of the novel pictures which will intrigue housewives during their daily round.
