"But now that I've learned how easy it Is to care for clothing, I shall never forget. It is the simple things such as these that most of us have difficulty learning, but it Is these very things which make everyday living a lot simpler. One woman I know has one of those little mending boxes In each of her bedrooms, and as soon as the youngsters are old enough to handle a needle, they take care of the little rips and loose buttons that consume so much of mothers time If she has to do them all herself.
