Plan Clothes on a Budget 
Taking Thought Saves Time and Money Later 
T IME to put away your winter clothes! 
Time to get out your last summer’s 
collection and see what is usable! Often 
you find that what you saved is skimpy 
or old-fashioned, but on the other hand, 
sometimes last year’s dresses are in sur¬ 
prisingly good condition and you save 
money by bringing them up to date. 
There are many possibilities in making 
over clothing. Little boys have since 
the beginning of time worn their fathers’ 
suits cut down. A man’s shirt offers more 
possibilities—children’s dresses, rompers, 
little boy’s suits, blouses, aprons, shirt¬ 
waists, dust rags, and laundry bags are 
some of them. 
Cleaning, pressing, and adding new 
collars, cuffs, and girdles will often make 
women’s dresses look like new. If this is 
not enough, they may be re-cut for a 
smaller person, or the material may be 
combined with another material to make 
a new dress. 
supply you may often find just the right 
thing for the re-trimmed hat. 
Soiled ribbons may be freshened by 
steaming and pressing. To prevent them 
from becoming shiny, tissue paper should 
be laid over them-when ironing. 
It is well, whether or not the family 
finances are run on the budget system— 
and, of course, it will be easier if they are 
—to figure at the beginning of each season 
how much money will be available for 
clothing. The average amount for a 
family is from one-fourth to one-sixth of 
the income. 
How to Divide Clothes Allowance 
Study New Style Notes 
Sometimes women’s coats may be made 
to look new and attractive by adding new 
collars and cuffs. New buttons, reworked 
buttonholes, and new or well-mended 
linings give an air of freshness. * 
Men’s hats may be freshened by re¬ 
blocking and renewing the ribbon. 
Hats may be restored by brushing and 
cleaning. If the shape is in good condi¬ 
tion, the hat may be painted or dyed. 
Trimming that is not badly worn or 
faded should be brushed and put away 
when hats are discarded. From such a 
Of the total clothing allowance 70 per 
cent, might go for outer clothing—coats, 
suits, dresses, shoes, etc.—and 20 per 
cent, for underclothing; 5 per cent, might 
do for accessories, and 5 per cent, for 
cleaning and repairs. 
In making this clothing budget, it is 
helpful to estimate how much has been 
spent the previous year. This can be 
done roughly from memory or from back 
bills if no accounts have been kept. 
A list should be made of the new clothes 
that will be needed by each member of the 
family’; it is well to make a graded list. 
That is, the articles absolutely essential 
come first, and then if there is still avail¬ 
able money, others may be added. The 
amount needed for repairs and renovation 
should be included. If possible, a margin 
should be left to provide for an emergency, 
in case of mishap, or a pressing need for 
some special occasion.
