==================================================
Outer Garments
We should take very special care to keep outer clothes neat and smart. By brushing them daily we can help to do this. When removing our coat, we should hang it on a coat hanger to keep the shape. If a coat has covered buttons, as soon as the buttons begin to wear, and the covering material rubs away, they should be removed from the garment and new ones replaced. To renovate cloth, use a little ammonia in boiling water and sponge lightly, then hang the garment up to dry. When it has dried, cover with a wet cloth, and press with a hot iron.
