In the first place, never grudge the

little neglect now and then may not be
noticeable, but continued habit Of
carelessness will surely ruin the most
correctly cut clothes and soon become
apparent in every article of apparel.
Hats quickly lose their shape and ac-
qulre rusty look; suits and overcoats
begin to fold and wrinkle where they
should not; trousers bag at the knees;
neckties become soiled and creased;
shoes turn up at the toes and cracf
across the bend OF the foot-in short,
everything loses Its neatness and
freshness, so that, although the ward
robe be of the best, there Is an utter
absence of well groomed appearance.
There are any number Of kinds Of
hat boxes, and Ii does not matter great
ly what the style as long as a man has
an individual box for each hat and al.
ways keeps the hat therein when not
actually in use. The ordinary paste
board boxes hats are delivered In will
answer the purpose. except for travel
ing. II one does not wish to spend
money for leather cases. When taken
off. a few turns with a soft brush or
piece of felt will remove all dust. and
when kept scrupulously clean the hat,
whether 1t be a silk, derby or soft
felt, will last much longer and look
better 10 the end than II neglected.
