CLOTHES CARE.
Like everything else in this life, clothes are the better for an occasional rest, and garments that are worn alternately with dthers retain their smartness and shape for longer than those which arc worn more or less continuously. This is specially true of stockinette. Wear a jumper suit for days on end, and it will sag and bulge. But roll it lengthways, put it in a drawer for a few days in between times, and it will tend to recover its shape. Unfortunately, this rest cure is not efficacious in the case of the more opeuu-knitted woollens, which, when they drop, are shapeless for over. Dust is the great enemy of cloth and felt. Do not roly alone upon-your clothes brush, but wield a small cane upon the clothes at frequent intervals, and keep a piece of fine sandpaper at band to rub off small stains from felt hats as they appear.
