How Care for Clothing Pays Big Dividends Establish weekly and daily habits and of good care for clothing you'll always have a well kept garment to wear. When the routine Is firmly established, the time spent will seem very little In comparison with the big Jobs that must be done when clothes are neglected.

This applies both to the water used in washing and rinsing. Hot water cause wool fibers to shrink and felt. Mild soap which makes a rich lather Is best.

If you want to hasten drying, the clothing can be wrapped carefully in an absorbent Turkish towel and kneaded gently to remove the excess moisture.

Blouses and Jackets will look better If you stuff some tissue paper in the shoulders and sleeves, especially when they will have to stand some time before the next wearing. Use bags or shoulder shields on garments worn frequently. Overcrowding the closet will cause clothes to become wrinkled more than necessary.

And I think it is swell to see money from the auto business used for such objectives because, making full allowances for the many wonderful benefits the auto has brought to mankind, there is no escaping the fact that it has also contributed to making man a pretty irascible, nervous, bad mannered and not too happy creature.

A fellow could relax and be thoughtful over a week end In the horse and buggy days. He knew no urge to get out on a crowded super highway and curse anybody who would not move over. You rarely saw a man lean from a buggy with the fringe on top" and bawl out a pedestrian or a man in another vehicle. Impatience, bad manners and general irritability are as much to blame for the lack of peace in the world today as anything. Patience went out the window the first time a man had to change a tire in the mud before the days of the demountable rim. Courtesy did a fadeout with the development of the idea that the auto born conquered a'l. The defective windshield wiper, the deml tasse tool kit and the squeaky rear door made folks a little more jumpy. Then the designers in all auto plants everywhere designed a body in such a way that a tire could only be changed by a contortionist with a stick of dynamite. (This was the last straw; man hasnt been even moderately happy or peaceful from that day on.) The auto filled man with the yen o violate danger signats, cut corners and break laws. It filled millions with a sense of unearned importance. The world got "uppity. In grandpas day one man didn't think it a social injustice if another man could afford a horse. But ever since the auto came, every man. woman and child has thought himself or herself entitled to a car. Jealousy, irritability, impatience, uneasiness, dissatisfaction, lawlessness and bad manners became universal. The auto turned a quiet, peaceful world into a planet loaded with belligerent, akers.

No mother can entirely blame you for shutting off so unsuitable a marriage for a boy of 20. but you didnt show much concern for the baby, and the casual way you observe that you believe the younger child of poor wrecked Alma is to be provided for, shows that your feeling is still stronger for Lucia as your granddaughter than as a small precious human being, with rights of her own.

Marriage then would have interrupted his college career, for I told him that if he married, he would have to work to support his wife. I told him I would not help, and sometimes I have felt since that this was pretty severe. But things you do at one time of your life look strange at some later time. Percy's sister was on the eve of a fine marriage and Percy's father had held a fine position in the Pennsylvania town where we lived then. "The war came along and Percy went to the South Seas, earning more than one medal for bravery. On condition that she would never trouble him I sent Alma a check every month for three years. I saw Lucia, the baby, infrequently. Percy came home, married, and we moved to Texas. His business interests took him back frequently to Germantown, and I learned much later that he saw Alma and little Lucia then. He and his wife have a daughter, now 5.

Percy is devoted to this older daughter, and wants to adopt her. But his wife. Kathryn, objects. She says it will jeopardize the future of her own daughter, cause scandal, and that she simply will not consent to in what she calls an old disgrace.

She does not say that it was sin that brought about this tangle, because like most persons today she evidently doesn't believe in sin. The word has gone almost completely out of the language.

Then permit the garment to dry completely so that it will have its natural lines. Pleats and buttonhole closings offer some difficulty unless care Is taken or they may become misshaped. An excellent way to avoid this is to baste pleats and closing with long stitches. Then you don't have to worry about lining them up just right under the pressing cloth.
