DO YOU TAKE CARE OF
YOUR CLOTHES
BY JANE HILL

It's the way she wears them. Par
OF this has to do with herself-o
which more later-but part of it ha
to do with the way she takes care o
her wardrobe. OF course, If she ha

own maid-and most of us are
when it comes to dressing-the per
lection of detail with which she II
always turned out means an immense
amount of forethought.
Her gloves are fresh-because she
hasn't forgotten to send them tt
the cleaner, and to keep enough OF
hand to fill up the days until the
cleaned ones come home. She never

anything about it. She would just

always be. When she pulls out hel

the way it was washed and ironed and
tucked into her bag.
About Perfumes
Incidentally, it isn't ever drenched
with perfume, that handkerchief. The
well-bred woman chooses a subtle
delicate scent and applies it in some
way that isn't localized. Perhaps she
puts it in her hair, or wears it in a
little sachet, or dabs a bit behind
each ear-there's score of ways
but in any case, she keeps you guess
ing as to just what the faint frag-
rance is, and how she wears it, FIRE.
quently she blends her own perfume
by mixing several odors, experiment.
ing till she has something that com
pletely satisfies her. The recipe is
her own secret, and pleases her much
better than the fabulously expensive
things that mere money can buy
and anyone may use-or over-use.
Coiffures and Hats
We can't stop to talk about Golf
rures, other than to say that the
very smartest thing today is the acme
of simplicity-the hair drawn bach
smoothly and coiled low. But. if ones
face and temperament can't stant
this, then be sure that the marcel OF
the permanent wave large and loose

thing suave in line as possible. "Eal
. muffs'' never were worn by the smar
woman, to be sure, but now even the
Sophisticated little girl has abandoned
. them in favor of more simple ant

then, anything is possible after thu
lights are lit in these days.
; Having done her hair for tn,
street the well-dressed woman doenn'
i. put on her hat while she runs down
stairs, as so many women in the back
i ground of the crowd appear to have
! done. She spends concentrated mo-
ment before her mirror, adjusting il
| as carefully as the vendeuse did when
first tried it on. She knows that the
line of a good hat is good just so
long as it is fitted to the right head,
at the right angle. She's very quick
to notice when the chic little brim
is losing its flare, or the bows are
dropping. There is nothing so tired
as tired hat. If it can't be resus-
citated, one must regretfully drop
it overheard and buy another.
Taking Care of Your Corset
And, going back to clothes, how
about your corset? Do you take good
care of tor leave it all scrumped
up in heap at night? Better, hang
1t over the back of chair, or some
where else where the clean fresh air
can blow through it, When it gets
even the least little bit soiled, send it
to the cleaner, or wash it yourself.
| If you decide to do the latter, drop
1t into the bathtub in a warm lather
of lux, with a rash of ammonia if it's
| really dirty. Leave it while to con-
slider its sins. Then scrub it light
ly with the bath brush, and hang it
| up on the towel rack. You'll be sur
! prlsed to find how easy the process
Is, and how much improved it looks.
