An interesting address was delivered
in chapel, Tuesday morning. by Dean
Atkinson, Of the home economics de-
partment, on the practical use OF
home economics.
She emphasized the fact that no one
had right to look "dowdy' and made
it clear that it was everyone's persona
obligation to family, friends and asso-
ciates to look neat and to cultivate az
attractive appearance.
The family budget that is being sc
widely urged and that is being adopt
ed more and more, was fully explained
For an average family of five, with an
income of $4,000 a year, 20 per cent
or 5000. is the usual amount devoted to
clothing. OF this the father and mother
should have $3.50 each; a ten-year-old
child should have $50; boy OF IL
should have 500 and a young woman
$50. This is considered a very fair d.
vision, and quite sufficient for then
several needs under ordinary condi-
lions.
Points in purchasing were brought
out and excellent advice along this
line was given. Good materials should
always be chosen, as cheap materials
are always a loss and a disappoint-
ment in the long run. One should also
buy clothes made in conservative style
for It is folly for one of limited means
to follow a fad in dress styles, as the
always becomes tiresome.
The care Of clothes, the cleaning
and dyeing of worn gar
ments, afforded many helpful sugges-
lions. Dean Atkinson's talk was very
helpful, being the first of a series OF
lectures under the auspices Of the
Y. NJ. C. A. and pertaining to the an
nual thrift week.
