No, B, V. K., that is exactly the wrong way to go about it. Some girls have an idea that popularity is goipg to help them make a good match and bring the:man they most desire to them.

The selection and care of clothing ia discussed at length in a painphiet distributed by the Department of Ag- neuiture, which has been written by Laura I. Baldt, instructor in the De- partment of Textiles and Clothing at Teachers’ College, Columbia Univer- sity. “In taking care of brand new (clothes, what is the first and fore- most rule you would advise?’ I agked Miss Baldt. iS “Well, I have a ttle pet hobby about new clothes,” good naturedly laughed Miss Baldt, “and that is that | business or Sunday clothes cannot be worn to loll about the house in. I find that either a man or @ woman should have two sets of clothes. They should have house clothes and street or business clothes. You can't expect to bave any sult or drees look fresh and new if you make it do double ser- vice. This is also true of shoes.” “And how about brushing and sponging and all that sort of thing?” I asked this capable woman who knows so much along her special lines of textiles and materials. “Garments even of the best quality, design and workmanship will becom shabby through lack of care,” replied Miss Baldy “while those that may Perhaps costvonly half as much may kept fresh looking for a consider- je length pf time by the painstaking care of the Wearer, Woollen garmen! should be thoroughly brushed, care ‘being taken to brush with the rap, ‘Silk garments should brushed carefully with a plece of velvet or a very soft brush. tile may be cut or marred by too vigorous brushing. “Cotton and linen clothes do not hold dust in the same way that wool and silk do, therefore it is jent to shake them to remove the dust Brushing tends to rub the dirt into the fibre. “Hats should be cared for properly not only because it is an economy ‘but also because the condition of the hat and the way In which it 1s worn may make or Mar a person’s appear- ance, A hat should be carefully rushed with a soft brush to remove al} dust not only from the hat it- self but from the folds of the trim- ming.
