I've quit my job three times lust to please my husband, but I almost went nuts and had to go back to save my sanity. I feel better when I get up, get dressed and go to an office in the morning. I have to pay a housekeeper so I don't come out very far ahead financially, as my husband so often points out. But I'm not working for the money. It's a matter of doing what I enjoy.

MeU talk By Ed Craig At least one article in every smart woman's wardrobe this season is likely to be made of satin. This if just one ol the luxury fabrics that is enjoying a popular revi val. The sleek, smooth sur- ' f r' a nf c-itin L h makes manylW peope believe that it sheds lint and dust particals easily. Not so. Its distinctive appearance is produced by countless num bers of loosely held, floating threads which form the sur face of the right side of the fabric. This weave is inclined to pick up lint and other tiny particles which often become trapped under the floating threads and take ' delicate cleaning methods to remove. Satin is also extremely suscep tible to abraision damage. Nev er rub it with cloth or home cleaning agent to remove spots. To do so may produce dull blotches which can never be removed. With satin, as with all fabrics, your cleaner must test it first to see if it is made of silk or cellulose acetate rayon fibers, both of which require special handling. You can be sure of painstaking and expert care when you send us any of your, delicate fabrics satins, silks, chiffons and others. Send them to us with confidence. Prompt pickup and delivery.
