DEAR ANN LANDERS: I've

Jerks and vice versa. Having

been a clerk in a supermarket
for ten years, Ihave drawn upa
list of ‘‘helpful hints'’’ to make
shopping mere enjoyable for

- everyone, °

1. Don't use a basket. Rush to
the checkout line ‘with your
arms loaded with groceries and
ask if you can go ahead of-the
others because you are drop-
ping things. They will feel sorry’
for you and say yes.

2, When there’s a hip order
just ahead of you, put your few
items on the belt and get them
mixed in with the other order,
The checker won't mind
refiguring after she's rung them
all up together. It breaks up the
monotony of her day. :

3. After your bag is packed
full. with. alf the cans on the
bottom, ask the checker if she'd
mind fishing out that Nos3 can
of coffee at the botlam and

putting -it Jin. a separate bag

. A central theme of all the
interviews is that designers to-
day have practicality in mind,

Tom d’Auria, for instance, be-

lieves that women now look for
a dress that can be washed out
and hung up to dry overnight.

Designers aré conscious that
clothes that must be’ dry-
cleaned will add many dollars

to your wardrobe costs. Since:
clothes ‘themselves - will: cost’

more this year, a result.of both
fabric shortages and increased

labor costs, it's only sensible to |

try and keep those maintenance
costs low lo avoid bursting

your budget, the designers say.

The designers advise con-
sumers lo select garments care-
fully for basic appeal : and

check-out thase labels for care
