AVOID TOO MANY CLOTHES

No Advantage in Over-Supply of Gar ments, No Matter of What Description. : • -——- —■■■ ; A woman who desires to dress well on a small income, and It can be done, must learn first of all never to have too many clothes on hand at once. Let her buy the things she needs, wear them out, and then buy others. It ia better to have one well-fitting tailormade suit, keep It rigorously pressed and In order, wear It until it shows signs of wear, and then replace it than It is to have several inferior suits. As to large stocks of underwear, they are only an anxiety. If not looked after frequently they grow yellow or a vagrant mouse makes a nest in them. Styles, too, alter frequently in underwear as in outer garments; also human figures alter and grow fat sometimes, and the treasured articles won’t fit when they are brought out. As to shoes, it is better for the feet and better for the shoes to have several changes and wear them in rotation, but if shoes are kept too long the leather is apt to rot.
