PROPER CARE OF CLOTHES.
Time Well Spent In Keeping Belong
ings In Order.

We all like good clothes and the
feeling of being well dressed. 1t is
not entirely question of money 1t
is also matter of detail and of giving
a small portion of our time to keeping
our belongings in order. No matter
how expensive or well fitting ones
dress is the appearance is spoiled by
soiled stock or piece of lace on a
crushed and frayed skirt.
Just stop and think what saving
of time and money the short skirt is
to woman, especially the busy wom-
an. No skirt braids need renewal; no
frayed edges give her an untidy APP
pearance.
Take look at your everyday skirt
and think what an Improvement a
good pressing would be to it. This
can be done very easily at homo and
should be done every weck or two.
Place your skirt on covered ironing
board and have handy two hot irons
rather heavy in weight: now cover the
portions to be pressed with a thor
oughly wet piece of unbleached mus
lin folded double, and when pressing
don't move the iron too quickly over
1t, but press until the material stops
steaming.
Should there remain dul]ed or
glazed spots sponge lightly and press
again. This REFRESHING, when damp,
will form steam that will remove such
spots.
