LOOPS ON GARMENTS
ADD TO THE WEAR

The manner i'm which clothes are put
away has much 20 do with their wear
Ing qualities. All coats. skirts. jackets
and warerproof- should be- supplied with
loops by which they can be hung. su
that they may not be suspended by the
fabric.
Skirts should indeed be provided with
three handsome ou the right side one
on the left, and one To- hold up the
drauery at the back.
The best way To- deal with good
dresses is TO hang them 10y their loops
be large bags made of old sheets.
This preserves them from the dust
and does not iniurr them. The bass
should be made 10 button down the
front so that the dresses can he put
I'm easily. The sleeves and bodice should
be stuffed out with paper.
one reason why these bags are So
useful is that they do av-ry with all
occasion Tor turning dress inside out
before hanging it-a harmful process,
because il makes crcases, spons trim
minEs, and tends 90 make a skirt lie
fat-aU appearance which quite takes
away from its now look
Creases are objectionable. but by tax
inS a little pains they may usually
be got rid Of Sometimes they dis
appear when a garment is hung be-
fore the fire for a while.
