The first important item to con-

What garments can be repaired:
What must be sent to the cleaners?
What dresses must be let down?
Time spent in advance in looking
over this point and writing what

fusion and time when the actual
work and shopping begin.
Then there is the large depart
ment of furnishings and their re-
plenishing. Now is the time to take
stock and to plan for the disposal
of worn or discarded articles. Do
the portieres need cleaning? Shall
the large Morris chair be re-up-
holstered? Shall the best blanket
be sent to cleanser? Is the linen
closet prepared to stand the hard
usage of winter? Are there not some
worn sheets which can be cut to
fit smaller beds. or make second
hand pillowcases? All of these
points can be noted and remarks
written on cards or in a convenient
booH for reference when the actual
mending and work must be started.

that buying by the can or the cake
