WARDROBE NEEDS MUCH CARE
of Economy, as Well as Having
Proper Appearance.

People are not all naturally neat
and tidy, but often "a word to the
wise is sufficient" If dress is taken
of and thrown to the floor, perhaps in
a damp state, or even hung up undried.
when next wanted for wear it will be
found crushed and draggled; whereas
If care is taken to shape it well, place
1t on a hanger and hang it where the
air has a chance to dry it, the garment
will appear fresh and neat when
wanted again. The wardrobe of an
untidy, careless girl or woman will
cost her twice the amount OF her more
tidy neighbor, and she will never look
so fresh and trim
Hats often suffer most. A hat

Begin With a New Hat.

"A new hat I must have" says the
average woman each season, and a
new hat she does have, even If she
has to go without some of the neces-
sites to get 1t. Now this may seem
foolish to some, but in reality 1t is
very wise. With becoming hat,

The Dolly Warden Gown.

Each of the French couturiers has

respect-the pannler. A Dolly Warden
costume without a pannier would be
like Hamlet with Hamlet left out. or
something equally as disappointing;
and. indeed, the pannier, quite as
much as the Powered material, makes
the costume worthy Of its name. Pom.
