Thirty vears ago women took it for granted that if they had no maid to attend to such details they must spend a good deal of time simply- taking care of th clothes. Clothes required so much attention. Long pleated skirts of the old sort had to bo elaborately pressed after every three or four wearing Separate washable collars and ct had to be v into position. Once there were neck yuchings that had to be ripped out of collars after every one or two i ings. New ones had to be carefuliy sewed in place. Women took it f granted that the price of good dre: ing was the expenditure of much patient pressing, sewing and fussinz. The new order of things came in with the war. Removable collars and cuffs, ruchings, jabots and the other little neck and wrist fixings went out of fashion. Processes were devised to| make pleats that really stayved inj place. Short skirts, short hair, per manent waves, liquid nail polish—all these things shortened the time that women had to spend on themselves and their cloth | So, as I say. we were all beautifully | spoiled. Not having to spend so much time fussig, we wanted to spend even less. We got the taste of freedom from | all this tiresome puttering And now it seems as if clothes that | require more attention are coming | into fashion. But you can't have your cake and eat it, too. If you want to wear these mnew, more elaborate | ciothes you must not expect to be free | from the task of kgeping them in con- | dition Velve equires considerable atten- tion—more attention th rgette, which somehow manages to take care of jtself. { But there are short cuts even in the care of velvet. As you know. velvet must not be| troned. It must be steamed, and the | shortest way to do this is to give 1t a steam bath in the bathroom. Here the way one woman goes about t: he hangs her velvet frock on u pad-| ded hanger in the bathroom, clos the w and doors and turns the | hot water on in the tub. until the| throom gets so steamy that the mir- | ror is fair covered with it.

The reason for this is that particles of lint from the dark cloth will not show in the dark material as would lint from the white cloth. The best way to dampen the pressing cloth Is to wring it as dry as sible _out of hot water and then ake it in the air to remove any sur- e moisture. A sponge 1s useful in keeping dark- er woolen garments in good condition Add a teaspoonful of ammonia to a cupful or 0 of luke-warm water in a bowl.
