PACKING WISDOM

DO AWAY WITH CREASES. A Man’s Suit.—Lay the coat upon a table with the sleeves placed flat to the centre of the back. Then fold over the edges of the coat. Fold the trousers with the seat turned in and turn over one-third of the length. Now the folded eoat, together with the waistcoat, is laid upon the partly folded trousers. Fold the legs inward over the bottom of the coat and finally over the top parr of the coat. ; In this way the three garments are folded together in a compact and more or less uncreasable whole. A Pleated Skirt.—-Do not fold a pleated skirt in half.- Take a sheet of unused kitchen paper (because it has substance), lay the skirt upon it, and roll up. A pleated skirt packed in this way will emerge from a trunk unspoiled. ’ . .An Evening Dress.-*—Tissue paper should be laid between every fold of a fragile dress and, if it. is doubled in half, then a roll of paper should be inserted there to prevent creasing.
