BUYING BABY CLOTHES . Well-made baby clothes give comfort and good ser vice, says Mrs Mae B. Bar ton, Penn Stale extension clothing specialist. When buying, select garments wi th smooth, flat seams and simple fastenings. Snaps, ta pe ties, and gripper fasten ers are good choices. How ever, grippers frequently be come damaged after long use and are hard to replace Buttons often break in lau ndering or the baby may pull them off. Stevens, Pa.
