If there's one situation in
which the ounce-of prevention
axiom holds true, its the annual
battle with the moths. The poor
est kind of economy is that by
which you save a few dollars or
few hours time and therefore
lose a whole wardrobe.
The National Association of
Dyers and Cleaners sounds
warning when they point out
that before the war estimates of
moth damage to fabrics ran from
100 to $50 million dollars a year,
which is far more than we can
afford today. You can't relax one
minute on the eve of this battle
because if you give moths one
minutes reprieve, they'll get you
before you get them. A ma
mana" attitude about antimoth-
ing her closet and sending things
to the cleaner cost woman we
know her good winter coat, her
favorite imported wool sharkskin
suit (both chewed beyond repair
as well as many dollars worth of

skirts. Moths definitely have ex-
travagant tastes. They're not the
least bit interested in your little
economy rayon numbers--or even
the expensive rayon crepes-but
offer them anything with wool in
1t and you have a different story.
Wool is their meat, the very staff
of life to the winged creatures.
The first thing to do in plan
ming the spring moth offensive is
a wholesale cleaning job. Go to
work on one closet at a time,
taking everything out and vacu-
uming the closet. Then sort out
the wools-or anything with even
the smallest percentage of wool.
Moths are worse than the most
high-pressure saleswoman in de-
tectlng even the most infinites-
imal amount of wool in a gar
nlent. Next, sun and briskly
brush the woods, examining them
with a microscopic eye for any
signs of moth damage, stains or
soil. If even the slightest soil is
visible, a real cleaning is es-
sential-either washing or dry
cleaning-before storing away.
Immediately after cleaning,

seal away your woods for the
spring and summer. You may
use either a garment bag or paper
package-but it must be alright.
To make a proper package, use
two or three layers of newspaper
with an outside cover of heavy
wrapping paper. Naturally, 1t
goes without saying that If the
fabric IS light in color, you'll
protect it with tissue. Fold the
garment carefully. laying paper
between the folds and sprinkling
napthalene moth balls or flakes
or paradichlorobenzene gene
rously over the paper-about l
pound of flakes for the average
trunk or chest. Be sure to use
plenty of. g,lmmed paper for seal
ing both packages and garment
bags.
If moth has beaten you to a
garment and left the usual gap
ing souvenir of its visit, very
special care is called for. Be sure
to put the article in question in
solitary confinement in a pack
age by itself. first brushing Wig
orously to loosen any possible
larvae. Remember that moths do
their best work under cover of
darkness, SO turn pockets inside
out, brush backs of collars, raise
pocket flaps, etc. Then spray
thoroughly or send to the dry
cleaner.
IT wools are their meat, then
furs are caviar to the clothes
moth. They love 'em and leave
EN- a wreck. 1t goes without
saying that the most expensive
item in your wardrobe deserves
the best care you can give it
and that means professional at
tention. No matter how well YOU
care for your furs at home, home
is no place for precious pelt.
They probably hang in a crowd
ed. overheated closet where.
aside from the danger of drying
out the pelts and rotting which
may result from too much heat,
there is also the everpresent
danger of moths.
Unless you're administering So
cial security for moths, you'd
better play safe and send your
furs out for professional cleaning
and storage.

Dorothy Dix Says

The thing of which most people
are more afraid than they are of
anything else on earth is THEY
SAY. Men and women who have
faced death and disease and all
manner of terrors with dauntless
courae and without turning a
hairs breadth from the course
they have set out to follow, will
cringe and cover and be turned
from their purpose by the idle
gossip of their reighbors.
And the curious thing is that
they have no respect for the
bugaboo of which they stand In
so much awe and which DOM
mates them. They do not think
that the Smiths and the Browns
and the Joneses and the Perkins
es, who make up THEY SAY,
have any superior intelligence, or
judgment, or manners, or morals
that entitle them to set the pat
tern for their fellow creatures
conduct.
On the contrary, they regard
them individually as a lot of nit
wits whose opinion they wouldn't
take on buying a hat or a necktie
and why, when these half-baked
views are punched together, they
become the controlling factor in
the lives of myriads of people, is
a riddle that nobody can solve.
Least of all do its victims know
why they grovel before THEY
SAY.
We are so accustomed to hu-
man sacrifices being offered up
on the altar of THEY SAY that
we do not even notice how often
they occur, but a great propor-
ton of the misery of the world,
the failures, the Illustrations, the
divorces and even the poverty is
due to men and women not
having the backbone to do what
they want to do and what nature
intended them to do for fear of
what people would say.
And not least among the trag-
edies for which THEY SAY is
responsible is the havoc it works
in the love life of women. For
one thing, it is at the bottom of
the horror women have of being

old maids. Not every woman
wants to marry. There are plenty
of girls who are allergic to pots
and pans and babies, who have
{ good jobs and would much prefer
single blessedness, but they are
made to feel that II they don't
corral a husband THEY'LL SAY
1t was because they couldn't get
one.
And how many women marry
men they don't love and don't
want and with whom they live
scrappily ever afterwards, only
because they were afraid Of what
THEY SAY, not even the divorce
court knows.
