Charity begins at home. Let not long acquaintance with a garment blind you to its defects, and remember that truly a bag in the hand is worth two in the trousers. Make a few disparaging remarks on your suit--you will not be the first--and don't forget that if you are going to give your clothes away it's a great deal better to know it than to think you've struck a good bargain with...
