CARE OF CLOTHES
If you want your clothes to last you must be careful when removing them. Shake your coat, waistcoat, and trousers, removing everything from the pockets. Brush each piece Arigorously with a whisk over a newspaper laid upon the floor to keep the carpet free from dust. Clothes are better folded than hung. They occupy less space and can be kept in better shape. The best preservatives for clothes are newspapers. They keep away moths and dust. Fold .the waistcoat in two, with the lining outside; fold the coat in two, with the sleeves inside; fold the trousers in two from the second Avaist button on each side; this will catch the seam of the leg of the trousers and preserve the crease in good shape.
