HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
GO. 1922. Harland H. Alien.)
PROBLEM OF SHRINKACE

The question of shrinkage Is an Inn.
portant one to the shopper. 1t Is nc
little thing to lose 100 square inches
out Of square yard, as sometimes
happens when a flannel or other wool
material returns from the tubs.
Wool materials especially present
grave dangers from this source. They
should always be shrunk before max
ing up, otherwise they will not only
felt and harden II laundered, but they
will shrink the first time the garment
is worn on damp day, and will spot
frUm rain.
The reason wool shrinks so badly
is something like this: The flbers Of
wool, when seen under the micro
scope are composed Of many little
overlapping segments that are toothed
and notched at the edges. When wet,
these little notches open and expand,
and then catch In one another and
become tangled, thus causing felting
and mating OF the cloth. Often, even
when the laundering Is done as care
fully as possible, the best wool gar
ments will still shrink In daily wear
just from the warmth, moisture and
friction of the body. You notice this
especially under the arms where
sweaters and woolen garments are
pretty sure to mat and thicken.
The average wool material shrinks
from three-quarters to one inch to the
yard. You can judge something about
goods by outside appearances. For
instance, those fabrics seem to shrink
most which contain curly, rather than
hairlike, wool fbers; that have a
carded rather than a combed yarn;
and in which the yarns lie close to-
gether in the weave. Colored wool
ems are less apt to shrink, because of
the thorough washing which precedes
the dyeing, especially when they have
been dyed in the cloth, instead Of
dyed in the wool.
Cotton goods will average one or
two inches shrinkage to the yard.
Some women shrink all cotton goods
before making; but as this takes away
some of the attractive new look"
many prefer to make their gowns
larger than necessary just at first to
allow for shrinkage. Linen cloth
shrinks very little, though coarsely
woven linen will stretch.
1t is sometimes very convenient to
be able to find out just how much the
goods you contemplate buying will
shrink. This can be computed by
measuring the length and width Of
sample, and then washing 1t with hot
water and soap. First overcast the
raw edges so there will be no loss Of
threads. Dry and iron without
Measure again. and the
loss gives the shrinkage.

HOW TO BUY A HAT

Some women complain that they
can never find becoming hat. II
that is your trouble you had just as
well make up your mind at the outset
that you do not go about choosing a
hat properly. Surely sufficient
number of hats are brought out each
season to suit all types. There are
a few simple rules for selecting be-
coming hat which, carefully followed,
would make the veriest fapper a past
master in the art. Usually she is.
Have you noticedO
In the first place, never buy hat
when you are "all tired out" Plan
your shopping so that you get your
hat flrst--the rest can wait. A good
time to look at hats is early In the
morning when you feel fresh and
rested.
Never buy a hat in hurry. Try q
number on, studying them from each
side, from the front, and from the
back, In triple mirror.
Always stand up and walk about
with the hat on. Sometimes a hat
may look very pretty while you are
sitting, but when you stand you may
find that you are either too tall or
too short for that style Of hat. Walk
back and forth before full-length
mirror, observing yourself from every
angle just as your friends are going
to observe you when they see you
coming. 1t Is important that a hat
not only look well on the head but In
proportion to the rest Of the figure.
Another thing to remember is that
II you gain or lose weight you may
have to change the shape Of your hat.
A shape that is becoming for q slen-
der figure Is not desirable for stout
one.
II the hat is to be worn with some
particular dress or suit. be sure to
have that garment on. Otherwise
1t Is almost impossible to get just the
effect one desires.
Never buy hat merely because II
looks new or interesting In the shop.
Ask yourself some such questions as
these Is 1t becoming to my face, hair
and figure2 Is It suitable to wear
with the clothes I have7 What gar
ments have I that require a haiti
How few hats can I get along with
II makes difference whether you
are buying a hat to be worn every
day to school or business. or only
to make an occasional visit in your
closed limousine.
