Good Advice.

spcct. my dear young friend. II you
do, they'll make you ashamed OF
yourself, not only on their account
because of their appearance, but on
your account, because of yours.
Now, really. just between us, how
do you treat your clothes? Have you
ever thought that the clothes you are
not wearing are about as important
as the ones YOU have on this very
minute? You see if you don't treat
them right, they'll retaliate and not
treat you right. They'll look shabby
before their time; they'll wrinkle and
rip when you want them to look their
best. They'll rebel at being over
worked.
Clothes, after all. are not unlike
ourselves. We have to rest them oc-
casionally. We have to keep groom
ing them-bl.ushing cleaning, airing
them-to keep them looking fit
There is something else about clothes
that's similar to ourselves, too. For
instance, you know it isn't half so
hard to remember to- manicure your
nails if yon have a new fine manicure
set. Now, is fit? Well, it won't be
half so difficult to remember to hang
up your best .frock or your old one,
if you have an attractive dress hang
er. The new hangers are so pretty
that any girl would, like to have not
one, but many. Some are made Of
enameled ! wood, and come in light
blue, coral or yellow, decorated with
hand painted. flowers. And, to add to
their attractiveness, they have hang
ing from the hook Il little silk bag
filled with sachet. The padded silk
covered coat hangers. also, como
sacheted. Aunt Jemima on coat
hanger surely turns it into q novelty.
This coat hanger'i is covered with red
silk, and Aunt Jemima, who is mostly
cloth, wears q red bandana tied about
her head and a white kerchief draped
about her neck.
Then you know about the big bags
for protecting your dresses, but per-
haps you haven't one yourself. They
really are q wonderful protection and
look dainty and pretty hanging up in
the closet, if they are made Of flower
ed dimity OF: lawn. The most con-
venient of these toys have an opening
from the top for about ten inches
down, and the most practical fasten
there with buttons and buttonholes.
Wouldn't it help you to remember
to put your Shoes away if you had 4
row of pretty shoe trees in your
closet? You can get hand-paintcd
ones nowadays, as we'll as silk-cm-
broidercd ones; and here there's nov
city, too. For some show the front
OF the shoe tree shaped like q cute
little animals head, while others have
the front portion of perforated tin,
and the back curved and shaped so
that it may be used as 4 shoe horn.
In place of a coat hanger for your
sweater, have you ever tried one OF
the big ribbon covered hoops? They
come now ornamented at the top with
different colored ribbon flowers. The
sweater, YOU know, is hung in the
hoop and in this way there is no
danger Of it's stretching, as it might
on q coat hanger.
If you have the room, do get the box
habit. Cretonne- covered shoe boxes.
fitted with straps and pockets to put
the shoes in, are wonderfully conven-
lent.
Now, just word about the har-
mony Of clothes. You know there are
certain things you simply can't wear
together. though each may be lovely
in itself. They clash in color; they
are inappropriate in design or fabric
or both. There's your tailored suit.
for instance, made Of jersey or crash.
Look ont for the hat you wear with it.
If YOU don't, you'll lose all your smart
appearance. Perhaps you're set on
having one Of those lovely new lace
hats. You know how becoming the
floppy. transparent hrim is, and how
fascinating the dclicately colored rib
hons. But if you do buy the hat, don't
wear it with your tailored suit. It's.
out OF place, and you can just believe
it will have no qualms about pro-
claiming it. Just think how much
smarter you'd look in one OF the new
straw sailors with Il contrasting COL
ored brin, or one Of the new sports
hats in brilliant toned suede.
Don't wear an elaboratcly cmbroid-
cred gcorgcttc blouse with Il wool
skirt Of gay plaid Such i blouse be-
longs with crepe dc chine skirt, or
one OF taf[eta or roile. The plaid
wool skirt looks its appropriate best
with an over blouse made Of jersey or
sport silk, or just with Il good-looking
sweater. Don't wear npenwork silk
with Il thick -solcu, low
heeled oxford. Don't wear them dur
ing school hours, or in the street, either.
(Don't wear fancy hairpins and bar
rettcs ablaze with colored stones in
The daytime.)
Don't carry IN expensive beaded
bag with your sports suit. It's out Of
rl,ra MI If WON'T t,p a bit convenient
