TAKE CARE OF YOUR CLOTHES.

The care Of ones clothes has much to
do with the well-dressed appearance,
and woman whose means are limited
may, with proper regard for the care OF
her costumes, appear an unlimited num-
Der OF times In the same bonnet, gown,
gloves and veil. Instead Of stripping her
gloves of roughly, rolling them In a
ball and tossing them aside, where she
cannot find them the next time she
wishes to wear them, she carefully pulls
them of, finger by finger, stretches them
full length aud lays them In her glove
case, where they remain until worn
again. Her veil, instead OF remaining
pinned TO her bonnet, Is lightly rolled,
the edges being pulled out as 1t Is done,
and Is laid In box large enough not to
crush 1t, thus avoiding the ugly wrinkles
that throw shadows on the face resem-
bling lines of age, care or neglect.
The bonnet Is lightly brushed with q
soft brush, its bows and flowers given a
Strengthening touch, and Is put away
from the dust. Her shoes are wiped
with soft cloth to free them from dust.
Her skirts are brushed before hanging or
folding them away, and her bodice Is
turned wrong side out and hung over
the back Of q chair which stands near an
open window and thoroughly aired
and Is afterwsrd folded and laid away
In drawer. This, Of course, all takes
time, but the next time you don these
same articles of apparel dressing IL made
easier by finding every thing In perfect
order, and the clothes remain fresh and
stylish much longer than II treated In
the ordinary wsy.-McCslPs Magazine.

MEET HUSBAND WITH A SMILE
A RULE THAT ELECTS A PROTEST

IL do wish some one would write a

Of reading In magazines and newspapers
that must meet my husband when he
comes home pleasantly and cheer
