Hints From Heloise

Clothes Go to College

Dear Heloise: When my husband's 96-year-old grandmother passed away a few years ago, she had two minks, a fox coat and a few interesting dressy but out-of-date items of CLOTHING. We took them to a college theater group -- the people there know how to "feed and care for" furs and use them in productions. They were most grateful. -- Donna, Seal Beach, Calif.

Check with high-school, college and even city theater groups to see if they would be interested in your clothing. -- Heloise
