Getting Good Value in Calico,
Philadelphia women dress well. How ta
dress is as much an art as how to furnish
house or serve a dinner. The wives and
daughters of men here with only moderate
salaries, with few exceptions, are neatly and
fash1onably attired. The seem to know

pays in the end. A partly soiled dress or
suit is not disposed of as half-worn gar
ments usually are, but the scourer gets a
chance at them and when they leave his
hands they are nearly equal to new; so far
as appearances go they are new garments.
But this is not the end of them After
seasons wear they are sent to the dyer The
proprietor of large securing and dying es-
tablishment said the other day that it was a
marked popularity of Philadelphians that
they had their wearing apparel of every de-
scrlpt1on cleaned and pressed twice and per-
haps three times during one season. Even
when not much soiled the steam securing
gives fresh, new appearance to what other
wise would have scuffed, worn look.
Quaker City Tastes Are subdued.
Women in the Quaker City do not 90 tn
the extremes in dress. They do not aftract
attention by eccentrieity in attire. After

Two young ladies in the family from their
style of attire caused no little comment.
They dressed in the extreme of the latest
style. Their heavy bangs were fluffy to an
alarming degree, their hats big and harinp.

summering at Five Week.
Nearly everyone is preparing to get ont
of town for the summer. When the hot
term comes even the homes of the moder-
ately well-to-do that have described will
be closed. Surely they cannot afford to 90
to the shore, mountains or springs. This is
a question of economy that must be studied,
so they select from the countless advertise
ments in the daily papers farm house
where summer boarders are taken at very
reasonable rates, say S. a week, and there
they spend the hot months.
You think this pretty tale perhaps. but
there are several scores of Pittsburg's
female school teachers who annually pass
the heated vacation in the mountains of
Fayette and Somerset counties, and their
board per week is less than the amount
have given. The outfit for an outing of this
kind costs but little, and the enjoyment is
greater often than that obtainable at the
fashionable resorts They come home with
renewed vigor, whereas society people can
boast of good time only at the expense of
real recreation. KID DAZZLING.
