TREASURED FABRICS.
The housekeeper contemplating summer out OF
town loses half the pleasures or anticipation
through fear of damage to her dearest household
goods by that insignificant but ommpreseht
nuisance the moth When she finally departs she
dracs a lenpthening chain OF care. Her return Is
fastened by insistant anxiety to ascertain not
what damage has been done, but what iracuoh OF
her treasures have survived in even passaoe con-
ditIon (Of course, had she moved. any great
storage company would have assumed response
bility for all her belongings) Her autumn nspec-
ton shows tho metal, wood and glass furnishings
intact but TO resume city life she must PROVIDE
, new furs, carpets and hangings.
