BETTER BUY THAN
A BONNET
WITH SPRING unable to make up its mind between lion and lamb, a hood- scarf is probably a more topical buy than a new Easter bonnet. This one is pretty enough to wear on a sunny day, practical enough to stay anchored to your head during a force nine gale.

Today's well-dreased giri relies on a washing machine_ and a formula,

It's no use thinking that be- cause you're a wash-tub slave every Monday you know all
about there is to know
the technique. Laundering the new man-made fabrics is a real question, of mind over material. However, most garments made from reputable synthetic bres carry a how-to-wash tab with them.
But for those of you who have lost the label, bought an unidentified fabric, or are a bit lust among all the scientific Jargon, I give you the experts' simplified guide on preserving your Abre fashions.
ALWAYS wash before the garment really needs it, Dirt which sets in is harder to re- | move.
