Meticulous care makes a difference in grooming

Meticulousness marks good grooming for a woman dressed for a Saturday night. After wear, shake out and air garments, inspect for dirt or damage, and repair immediately to avoid crises at next wear. Cleaners often remove buttons, so home repair is best. Keep cleaning fluids, metal polish, shoe polish, saddle soap, needles, and thread ready near the closet for wardrobe touch-ups.
