In fact, the word discount seems to have a magic ring, leading con sumers to believe they are getting a fantastic bargain. It is true you can save a great deal of your fashion budget by shopping discount houses or factory outlets, but you can also get stung. You need to be an especially perceptive shopper with a knowledge of fabric and fiber, plus a firm goal in mind. It’s very easy to get carried away by the ex citement of a half-the original-price tag and buy twice as much as you need. You can go broke saving money on such bargains. What’s more, many discount houses and factory outlets don’t have rooms to try on garments. If you can’t try on an item or can’t return it, the purchase is a real gamble as far as fit is concerned. Even packaged goods such as hosiery and undergarments may have the wrong size on the outside of the package. Sometimes you’ll find that the reason for a markdown is mislabeling of size, fiber content or care directions. If you know fabrics, you can determine if the care labeling is wrong, but not always. Again it is a gamble and you usually have no alternatives if the garment is ruined. A needle and thread can sometimes easily repair minor damage. Other times the reason for the markdown You Heard? By Doris Thomas " is poor matching or fabric design placement. Here you’ll have to decide if it is worth the extra time and energy needed to correct the mistake - if it is correctable.

Buy only if you find what you need and want. A bargain is no bargain if it won’t add to your present wardrobe. Keep in mind that driving long distances to shop at an outlet to save a few dollars may not really be a saving, considering the cost of gasoline, time and possibly a meal away from home. Imaginative Homemade Halloween Costumes When the children in your family start thinking ghosts and goblins, it may be time to rummage through your attic and basement to find the things you’ll need to make up imaginative costumes for Halloween. Children will probably be enthusiastic about designing their own costumes. For inspiration, they might think of favorite cartoon characters. Or look at coloring or story books. Boxes with holes for arms can be painted or colored. Smaller children can decorate large paper sacks, then cut holes for head and arms. Or look into an old clothes bag £or garments that, with a little pinning or quirk sewing, will create a young witch or fairy princess. Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Oct. 30,1976 — Think of unusual ways to use old clothes for costumes. Pajama bottoms with feet can be stuffed, then used for an unusual hat. An old skirt can be worn around the neck with holes cut out for arms. Fabric scraps, old sheets and towels come in handy, too. Sports equipment also makes interesting and fun Halloween costumes. Instead of masks, let children decorate their faces. Old or inexpensive make-up and colored chalk ■can be psed. Even water color paints will work if a good base of hand lotion is first applied to the face. To create a ghostly effect, apply flour over a hand lotion base.
