PERTINENT FACTS
TO COUNTY WOMEN
:,*? ?*? ? ; ? f.>7: ^
(By MISS MYRTLE SWINDELL)
Economic Vales of Draw
Clothes are what flnaiieiari call "a
(rood riak," writes Otsego, county
New York, Home Demonstration
Agent Elisabeth McMartin. They have
self-reliance, poise and the appear
ance of success. It certainly is true
that we Judge people to some extent
by the manner in which they dress.
If one feels conscious that one's
clothes are not quite up to the stand
ard, it is well nigh impossible to ap
pear self-reliant and perfectly at
ease. There is a certain poise given
" by the mere fact of feeling well
groomed. Women have been criti
;/- cised for spending too much thought
on dress. The criticisms should be
that women do not spend sufficient
intelligent thought on the subject
To understand good dressing shows
. wisdom, not vanity.
Brings Cloth** Up to Data
In order to feel well dreaaed, the
line* of garments should accord with
the trend of fashion. Renovating or
making over garments takes time and
thought, but surely pays in the end.
Look over last year's wardrobe and
freshen up garments by adding an
attractive collar and cuff set, or a
touch of simple wool or chenille em
broidery or beading. See that the
line* of the skirt accord with the
present styles. Cleaning and press
ing play an important part not only
in making over of garments, but also
in the every day appearance of what
we wear.
Women's Responsibility
Women have a powerful weapon as
purchasers. It is not the trade man's
office to tell us what we should have;
his dirty is to distribute what we de
mand. It is our business to see that
the demand is intelligent. The trades
man should be the apothecary, not
the doctor.
"The old saying that the human
person is composed of three parts?
soul, body and clothes? is more than
a joke," says William James. Henry
Ward Beecher is more moderate in
his statements when he says that
"clothes do not make the man, but
they make him look a whole lot bet
ter after he is made."

A home and its surrounding must
be attractive in order to be the most

Farmsteads especially need atten

HE MADE A MISTAKE
We made a mistake in last
week's issue of the paper. A good
subscriber told us about it. The
same day there was a letter in our
post office box that didn't belong
to us. We called for 98 over the
phone and got 198. We asked for
a spool of No. 80 thred am} got
No. 60. The train was reported
80 minutes late. We arrived at
the depot 20 minutes after train
time and the train had gone. We
got our milk bill and there was a
mistake of ten cents in our favor.
We felt sick and the doctor said
we were eating too much moat. We
hadn't tasted meat for two months.
The garage man said the jitney
was missing because it needed a
new timer. We cleaned a spark
plug and it's run fine ever since.
Yes, we made a mistake in the last
issue of the paper. ? Morgan
