That Well-groomed Look

The well-groomed woman does not achieve that appearance of well-being without effort. Clothes, to look well up to the last gasp, need time and attention spent on them. Hats should be placed with brims up ward. Twist rolls of soft tissue paper into a circle, and always slip caps and berets over these before putting away. Shoes. Stuff shoes with paper to keep their shape and absorb the dampness after wearing. Do not leave about the room to collect dust. Gloves when taken off must be buttoned or presser fastened together so that a pair wih not get separated in the drawer when the owner rummages for them in a hurry. They should be cleaned promptly, or they will not clean well. Scarves, ties and belts, too, should be hung ever tape slung along the inside of the wardrobe door. If laid bn a box they will be tossed about and wrinkled each time one is wanted Stockings ought to be kept rolled in a drawer where a good light for matching fall;) on them. Shoe boxes, each with a division made from the cardboard lid, will make separate compartments for brown, grey, evening, sports and lisle thread stockings. Coats should never be thrown over a chair, hut hung on a coat-hanger at once. Hot water with a few drops of ammonia will remove shininess as well as soili d spots. Bang the reverse side of fur collars with a hairbrush back to dislodge dust. Skirts if pleated, or of chiffon or lace, will be kept in good order in a drawer or box if twisted lightly lengthwise like a rope. But if the skirt has plain panels or yoke it must hang on a hanger or two hooka in the wardrobe.
