Proper Care OF Cloth es.

The welldressed woman takes care OF
her clothes. She does not tumble them
In a heap when she lays them aside.
She disposes them in roomy closets,
with skeletons on which to arrange
the waists, or else she lays them In
long boxes and folds them in tissue
paper, stuffing sleeves and puffs with
the same, so that they will not fall into
creases and wrinkles, and will gather
no dust. Clothes are articles of value
and may not be treated with contempt
