DEO Knowledge of Textiles and Clothing Value Gets Most Return for Buying Dollar ETew,?iromAn Whe0 purchas Ing clothing for herself or her family, aims to make the dollar secure maximum results. No def inite pattern for dollar stretching la to be had since the needs of ' different families varies widely. However, there are certain facts every shopper should consider when purchasing clothing, ad , vises Lois Holderbaum, exten sion clothing specialist. 1 One of the first' steps in pur chasing a ready-made clothing Is , to decide its-use, in the wardrobe, v whether' it" is "needed tor home, street, travel or party wear. Then decide what fabrics will give the service desired. . For occasional wear a dress made of a less ex pensive silk will serve tho purpose,-giving a season-or-two of wear. If the dress -is to.be given .'-hard-wear, true economy lies in choosing a good material.-When 1 buying, look . for valuee before - bargains. A bargain is an article which will meet a; real need .at a lower price than can generally .be expectedIn satisfying that need. A cheap silk dress. 1 rarely . a bargain. It may be poorly mad, out .of date, or of Inferior mater Use your textile information when examining dresses display ed oa racks with such signs as "silk - crepes," v Vflat crepes,? -prints." silk and wool mix tures.1: Those, labeled : "a 1 1 k " erepee." may be pure silk, weight ed silk, silk and cotten, silk and rayon or rayon crepes. "Flat erepes may be any of the above or may be limited to rayoa. "Prints" Is another blanket term which may mean many types of fabrics. "Silk and wool" mix tures may contain no Isilk and be composed ' of rayon and wool. Wool and cotton - mixtures many times contain a very small amount of wool. - A "garment may be of good ma-' terlal yet fail to give goad : ser vice if it does not fit the figure.

The new world champion was bred on the Island of Jersey, the place of origin . of the Jersey breed and imported in dam by W. R. Spann & Sons of Morris town, N. J., in 1927. Her first owner, John R.

Note the length of the sleeve with the elbow bent. A sleeve, which fits too snugly when the elbow la bent Is apt to pull and tear at'fhe seam. Observe the fit at neck and shoulders. - The garment should fit well at the back of the neck and not slide backward or for ward across the - shoulders. Sit down and see whether there Is any strain through the hips and observe whether there Is suffi cient width and length to cover the knees gracefully. Fold the dress across tho back at the lev el of the arms' eyes and see whether the dress is cut straight with the materlal. A. dress whKh Is not cut straight with the thread of the material does not appear well and. will not hold Its shape, and no alteration can. be made to correct this feature. This Is frequently 1 a characteristic of bargain or cheap dresses. ' Careful selection of ready made clothing, will lead to long er service and greater satisfac tion on the - part of the' homei maker and her family. ; . . . Oregon Pap er; Company! t . !
