How TO FOLD MEMS CLoTHEs.-Complaint
Is often made by the men of the family that
their coats and trousers which have been laid
away In camphor during the summer come out
in autumn in disreputable wrinkles These
wrinkles are simply the result of carelessness
or ignorance in putting away the garments i'm
the spring time and they may be avoided bv
observing the following directions, which are
given by an expert: To fold a coat, Law il omen
upon bed or some Nat surface in as even a
manner AS possible; smooth it, fatten the
sleeves into their natural position and turn out
the collar; turn up a short part of the sleeves
and fold them SO that they Will reach Just to
the edge OF the collar; now fold the outer edges
OF tie coat their entire length, SO that the coat
has compact obohg shape; then fold the
coat in half from the middle of the
collar to the end between the tails, Civ
ing it narrower form, and then double
over the whole coat In the middle For
folding trousers, button the top button, and
place the two buttons on the band ne t the top
button face TO face. Lay the trousers On a bed
Or fiat surface and fold over eight inches from
the bottom, and then fold this over again.
Now lap over the seat part SO that the trousers
are in oblong form; then fold over the lower
part. which will bring the garment in as COM
pact a shape as possible. Folding the vest is a
simple matter. Lay it on the bed: and, as the
two sides exactly match, they may be placed
one upon the other, with the back linen part
folded over, the buckle having been first ZOOS
ened. II this manner of folding be adopted Tor
garments in use, they will be found TO keep
their shape well, and to wear far batter than
when carelessly tumbled into their receptaces
or hung up any sort Ut fashion.-N. Y. CONNER
