Learn what you can about the fabric before buying and save all instructions which would help you.

You may learn something valuable that adds life to your garment.- Lukewarm water and mild suds are recommended for newer cottons rather than the hot suds. Special treatments such as ribbing, emboss ing and gold printing will not take to the hot water. Wash colored garments separate ly, as they may run the fir^J tirtie or two when washed. Colors running out the first time does not mean the material is not color-fast. If it keeps running after repeated wash ing, is not color-fast, of course. Avoid twisting, wringing and rubbing motions in laundering as most new cottons have special fin To accomplish this, the experts.—a—“- **-'• * 7— assure us that we need to makejthern talking.
