DRESS ECONOMY

I have made the subject Of how TO
make clothes last a study" says a So
ciety woman, and it is surprising how
much difference it makes how q gown
is donned. 1t should be put on slowly
and carefully. A little pull or jerk each
time it is put on soon ruins the best of
gowns.
Never use pins. They not only tear
the fabric, but are uncertain at al
times. Do not economic on drsssmak-
ers. II you cant afford good material
and good dressmaker also. economic
on the former. One dress well made is
better than half dozen poorly made.
In conclusion. buy as good material as
you can. Have It made By a good
dressmaker. then take plenty OF time
TO get into il.
When you are in #, have respect for
the dress. Walk with a quiet. even
step; give II good chance. and il viii
do something for you Remember. that
the best of gowns. like the garment CO

day of the boarding house is past. On

ing up. It is the fault of the boarding
house mistress; she has brought it on
herself. She never cared for the COM
fort of the girls under her roof. They
were not allowed TO fix their rooms as
pretty studios. but were forced to re-
ceive in the great gloomy, badly fur
nlshed parlors. There, with the piano
going and half a dozen people receiving

TO heart talks as they might, and every
one knows that a girl may be ever so
clever in the way of having her things
accepted by the magazines or painting
pictures that are salable. but she must
have a heart to heart talk now and
then.
What ezasperated the girls is the
fact that men can have such coy little
apartments at such low price. with
all the comforts of home. But things
are changing already. Women's studio
buildings are being built, and before
long the female gorgon of q boarding

her boots. That's what my bachelor
girl friend says anyway, and she ought

them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth. to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl OF water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot. but
not sufficiently so to scorch. and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front. sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear APP
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed 1t should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before 1t Is folded
and put away. says the Philadelphia
inquirer.
