THE DRESS FOR SERVICE
A washable house dress is the only
practical one for women who does
her own work, These days we pre.
pare our dinner in the morning and
when we change our clothes in the
afternoon all the dirty work is over
and there is little danger of hurting
one's frock. But the morning dress
must be washable in order to keep
