down to cut fuel costs and still dress reasonably indoors The key to keeping warm is to trap body heat in the air bet ween layers of clothing Still air between clothes acts as an in sulator Body heat stays in cold air tays out and you stay warm Several lightweight loose layers of clothing will keep you warmer than one heavy layer because of the air trapped bet ween them The layer next to the skin should be soft and ab sorbent knitted cotton or wool fabric wouldbe ideal The remaining layers should be of more tightly woven fabric preferably with thick spongy or fluffy surface The design of clothing hs some bearing on its warmth Since heat rises it is necessary to trap the warm air around the waist shoulders and face Garments should fit closely around the neck and wrists Hooded garments are good as are ones which are cinched or tucked in at the waist pair of pile or foamlined slippers will keep your feet warm Also some articles of clothing are warmer than others Pants are warmer than skirts boots are warmer than shoes tuckedin blouse or skirt is warmer than dress that hangs loose Lined llVING AND DINING ROOM SPECIAL garments are generally warmer than unlined ones Even accessories like ties and scarves can add layer of warmth With some careful planning you can make clothing play significant role in saving on fuel bills this winter graduates Terry Boulter On November Terry Wayne
