Proper Treatment viii Add Much to
Their Usefulness.

l know many men who would be
quite well dressed II they would only
refrain from numbering UP their pock'
cts; In fact, | wonder that some tail
ors do not send home a printed warn
ing with each suit: This suit Is not
constructed to carry heavy weights.
Take those bundles of papers out OF
your inside pockets and button your
coat up and you will find that you
look much better than you do now.
You have stretched the coat a bit out
of shape, but it may recover itself.
Remember to take everything out
of the suit and fold it up. That Is the
only fair treatment for a good suit.
Clothes are warmed by the body
while they are being worn, and while
they are warm they get nodded into
shape. If you always keep n pocket
loaded with a handful of loose change
and another pocket weighted with a
huge bundle of keys, those pockets
will become permanently damaged.
Possibly you may have noticed that'a
new suit never looks quite so well
as a suit that has been worn half a
dozen times; that is because the new
suit has not been warmed by being
worn, and therefore the cloth is not
nodded to the shape Of the figure. A
new coat should always be worn but
toned up for the first few days.-Chi.
