FAIRIES? CARER

Fall sees chance to be fashionable

ONE OF the oldest back-to-
school traditions continues —
kicking off the school year with
a stylish, stocked school box.

For years, kids have looked
forward to picking out the
perfect school box decorated
with the hottest cartoon figures,
celebrities or heroes,

Then .comes gathering the

various supplies needed in every
school box: scissors, pencils,
erasers, glue, crayons and more.

A true tradition never dies,
but rather changes with the
times. These days, kids are
looking for action and color in
everything, including school
boxes.

Another tradition gaining fol-
lowers is the quest for individu-

“fa

ality. Whether it's through per-
sonalized book bags or funky
hairstyles, fashion-oriented kids
of the '90s are always looking
for ways to express themselves.

So continue the tradition by
sending your child back to
school in style with a personal-
ized school box decorated with
the hottest and brightest colors.

Q: What type of drapes
© can't be drycleaned?

» Most draperies can be dry-

© cleaned and will come home
clean and fresh. (Exceptions are fiber-
glass drapes with rubberized back-
ing.) Your drycleaner may have a
problem with drapes that have been
wet by condensation or rain from an
open window.

Moisture .can cause yellow or
brown sizing streaks that can be dif-
ficult to remave.

Sometimes draperies come out of
cleaning damaged because age and
sunlight have degraded the fabric.
The weakened arzas shred when ex-
posed to the agitation of cleaning.
The pattem of darnage on the out-
side folds, where sun exposure was
greatest, is your clue that sun tender-
ing was the cause of the damage. You
eam expect draperies to last three
yezrs, lined draperies for about five.
