Dry Cleaning
Preserves
Clothes
BY ELEANOR ROSS

LACES, BEADED fabrics,
lame and all the other delight
full materials that tell the
story of fashion require plenty
of care if they are to look their
best and give good service.
But do not wait until they
become very spoiled, hustle
them off to a good dry cleaning
establishment before that time
and in between wearings give
them good going over For
these materials, and indeed for
all your wardrobe. patronize a
reliable cleaning establishment.
Saves Money
In the long run you will be
spending less. because the life
of your clothes will he pro-
longed. Dresses trimmed with
sequins require delicate care in
cleaning. Sequins are brittle,
they break or peel easily, they
are soluble in water, heat
causes them 10 curl at the
edges. while metal sequins fire.
quently have a tendency to tar
niSh.
Done by Hand
Dry cleaning should he done
entirely by hand. The gown is
soaked for a few minutes in
clear solvent to lessen soil, then
is laid on a prospecting board
and brushed carefully with a
soft brush-the sequinS are not
touched Stains are removed.
Next comes a second rinse by
hand. brushing with clear
solvent followed by drying at
room temperature and hand
pressing.
Your beaded dresses will also
require extreme care. Some
beads are painted and after sew
eral cleanlngs the paint peels
off. Then too beads and jet have
a maddening tendency to rip off.
Always tell the cleaner if there
arc broken threads and where
they are. so that they can be
mendcd before treating.

That Central high school and
junior college can boast three out
standing musical organizations in
the band, glee club and orchestra,
was proven thoroughly Friday night
when these three were heard in a
concert in te school auditorium
(which was filled to capacity by a
delighted audience.
These three groups, under the
direction of the music department
. head, Stan Atkin, gave a program
which for arrangement, for per-
formance and for interest, would
have done considerable credit to
far more professional body of
musicians.
Mr.. Atkin has done wonders in
training these boys and girls not
only in their WORK but in inspiring
in them a genuine interest n music,
as the concert Friday proved.
Band Numbers
Opening numbers were by the band,
the bright red and white uniforms
of the players making a picturesque
appearance, the first time they have
been worn by the students in a
concert. -Four stirring marches by
IRomberg Wagner, Polla and Sousa
were played, and played well, with
excellent rhythm and precision, this
part of the program providing an
excellent beginning to the concert.
Glee Club Program
In the second group, the glee club
was heard n a series of numbers
ranging from the sacred, through
the classical to the more popular,
including the Praise Ye the Faith
err (GounoD, Hear Our Prayer"
(Rubensteim the "Andante" from
Tschaikowsky's Fifth symphony
and two selections from the STU
dent Prince (Romberg).
The group, like the band, shows
evidence of careful training and
the voices blend beautifully, the So
prano section being distinguished
by some remarkably sweet voices.
To Mary Louis Sigmon, pianist
for this group, special credit is due
for her excellent work.
