How to Save Your Frocks.

Nowadays, when all girls have some
pet hobby, such as gardening, photog-
raphy, wood carving, housekeeping,
etc., frocks are apt to get shabby very
quickly, unless proper care is taken
of them. Aprons seem to be out of
fashion just now, but there is nothing
more foolish, as by no other means
can ones skirts remain fresh and
clean. Big ones with bibs and sleeves
should be worn when doing anything
at all dirty, for the tiniest spot Of
grease or dirt will entirely spoil the
look of q very nice frock.
