HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
TO TELL A GOOD PIECE OF
COTTON CLOTH
20. 1922. Harland Il. Allen. }

IF only could ever be sure of what
am getting!" cries the shopper who
has been made wary by disappointing
purchases.
Take cotton goods, now Cotton, be.
ing the cheapest, is seldom adulter-
ated with any Of the other hbers. But
many a poor piece Of cotton cloth is
made to appear better and heavier
than it really is, by the addition Of
too much dressing. The spaces be-
tween the threads are filed up, and
a good finish is given to the material,
but the wearing quality Is not in
creased. After washing, the cloth
loses both its weight and firmness.
This dressing can sometimes be
scraped up by picking at the surface
Of the cloth with the finger nal, or by
rubbing the material between the
hands. Cloth that has large guam.
tity of this sizing ia it will also feel
harsh and stiff to the touch. A sure
way is to wash sample of the goods,
when most of the dressing will dis
appear.
1t is also a good idea to test the
strength of cotton goods by pulling
sharply at the edge of the material.
1t may have been weakened in the
bleaching process, or a bolt which has
been in stock a long time may have
become weakened by the action Of
some chemical used in the sizing or the
dyes. A good way to test the strength
Of material is to place the thumbs
together and press them down hard
holding the cloth tight underneath, and
noting how much strain it will bear.
The hrmness. of the weave, and the
quality of the fiber are also important
points to consider. Holding the cloth
up to the light and looking through It
viii show whether the weave is close
or not. To Judge the quality Of the
fiber, all you have to do is untWist a
thread of the cloth and notice the
length of the separate fbers A long
fiber always indicates strength, and,
therefore, good wearing quality.
In choosing between two grades of
cotton cloth, it is frequently wise to
consider the additional wearing quail
ity you can get for a few cents addi-
tional cost Often a piece of goods
costing only two or three cents more
will wear four or five times as long
as the cheaper material. OF course,
this is not always true, as sometimes
the extra cost is due simply to the
novelty of the design or color.

81 would rather admit that | am
stout and be correctly fitted than fool
myself into wearing the wrong clothes
that only make me look stouter than
really am" said one wise shopper.
It is a common walk going up from
stout women that the styles are all
made for the slender woman, and that
no attention is paid to them. But there
are many things which you can do for
yourself to keep you from looking
dare l say itf-fat.
Most women who are too stout make
the mistake Of thinking that the tight
er they wear their clothes the better
they will appear. This is a preposter-
Gus idea, for when carried to extremes,
it only makes them look like something
s.trugsed." Rather should the Excess
giys flesh be disguised by soft fullness.
And having heard or read somewhere
that stripes make person look slen-
der, they make the mistake of choos-
ing wide stripes. The stripes should
be fine and indistinct rather than
showing any definite color or line. The
cardinal point for every stout woman
to keep in mind is that up-and-down
lines give slenderness, and rOund-and-
round lines emphasize thickness. It
ought not to be necessary to warn
her against tunic skirts, or those with
ruffies shirring, and excessive cross
wise trimming, and yet we see the
walking need Of such advice on the
streets every day.
Sleeves for the stout woman should
be plain, and while not SO large as to
accentuate the width of the figure,
should be loose enough to conceal the
super-abundant flesh. The under arm
should be close, though "easy fitting"
Cuffs that turn back serve to call at
tention to the short, fat arm.
If your neck is short and thick, you
should not wear ''cffoker" collars of
any kind. The V-neckline is your best
boon. and If lace or trimming is used
it should blend in with the blouse so
that it is practically lost to the eye.
In fact, trimming must always be of a
harTnonizing rather than a contrasting
color; and on no condition must
collar or a belt boldly attract the eye
Unbroken line from neck to hem
therein lies your salvation.
Black and all very dark colors make

Iarge-fgured fabrics and big brocades.
In selecting material for garments, pay
especial attention to the sheen and fin
ish. Stiff fabrics having a glossy, bril-
liant surface attract attention and
make the figure appear larger, while
soft, pliable fabrics in dull colors make
the figure look smaller.

her husband had spent many evenings
together. Backwash from the steam

rowboat, which she had anchored.
She went to the bottom in 80 feet of
