The Shiny Coat or Suit.

It often happens that a garment wears shiny while still serviceable. One hates to discard it and at the same time dislikes the appearance of continued use. In such case a bit of diluted distilled white vinegar rubbed on with a woolen cloth will raise the nap and impart a look of newness that will give it a new lease of life. The garment will need a good airing to remove the odor of the vinegar. In this way the usefulness of a suit may be prolonged till it can be laid aside for a heavier or a lighter one. according to the season.
