Cloth That WIN Last Twenty Year


With the new century will come in a new
material for clothing which really will
rpvOluliuniZe all our notions about the

of getting a. suit of clothes that will
last for 20 years. that will cost only a
third more than a suit costs now and that
will be absolutely waterproof without
appearing to lie so. RrvulutioniZe is
rather an overworkrd word, but il fits
this ease exactly.
Instead of singing "I'apa's pants will
soon lit Johnnie" he refrain will run,
Johnnie soon will wear pas pants" for
when pa once begins 10 wear these ex-
trcmcly useful articles before Johnnie has
got out of dresses he may continue to
wear them for the next 20 years, and nv
that time Johnnie will have grown up TO
them. The same with little Mary and
her mothers skirts. Instead of cutting
down the garments FOR the girl the moth
er will wear them for a generation or so
and then turn them over To her daughter.
This most useful cloth can be made in
gray, crimson, purple and blue, and doubt
less by next May, when the mills in Eng
land will be completed, it will be found
possible to dye the cloth black and brown.
