NEW CLOTHES

Invoice your wardrobe carefully and be sure you really need every article you plan to buy. For the articles to be replaced, 1 choose material in garments which will harmonize with the rest of your wardrobe. It is economical to buy fewer garments at a time and to buy the best ma- | terial one can afford. In ready-made garments, | choose conservative styles that they may be worn a long time. Select garments appropriate to the use they are intended for and suitable to your Individuality. It Is economical to limit the number and variety of colors in your wardrobe. Standard materials of good grade, such as wool serge, broadcloth, flannel, crepe de chine, gingham, dimity, and percale, are economical because they wear well and are never out of style. If you have the time and ability, It is economy to make your clothes or part of them. In buying ready-to-wear undergarments give preference to simplicity in style and good workmanship, because they wear better and are easier to launder. - One garment of good material will outlast two cheaper ones; but it may be economy to buy cheaper material for garments worn only occasionally. Buy after the rush season. Estimate the quantity of material required before* buying. Select a garment that will serve two purposes if possible. >
