4 Few simple Rules That Are Wei Worth
Following.
ut is not a very difficult task to take
care of ones clothes" Sun reporter
was informed by man who, though
he has but moderate means, always APP
pears well dressed, land il pays to do
it 1t is better to have number of
suits and to wear them off and on than
to wear one suit continuously until you
are ready to lay it aside for another.
If you have. say four suits, and change
every day or two they win retain their
shape and freshness through given
period better than four suits each worn
steadily during a quarter of that period.
When clothes are worn constantly the
creases in the coat sleeves and the
punches at the knees of the trousers
become pronounced and confirmed. and
they cannot be pressed out so that they
will stay out Ii clothes are hung up
properly after wearing their own
weigh. and the elasticity of the cloth
help to preserve their shape.
"A man should never hang his coat
by the loop made for that purpose If he
can avoid it: if hung that way it will
sooner or later sag out of shape. 1t is
almost impossible to fold coat so
smoothly and loosely that it win not

''Of course the best thing TO do with
