As part of EPC exhibit 128-24.1, I proposed changes to 391 Costume and 394.1 Eating,
drinking; using drugs. Because these parts have related sections in 640 and 680, review
of these changes were postponed until this meeting. The proposed changes to clothing,
eating, and drinking are based upon the changes given in EPC Exhibit 130-26.
391.1-391.4 Costume
The term “Costume” can refer to wardrobe and dress in general, or to the distinctive style
of dress of a particular people, class, or period. The term “Costumes” refers to the type
of costume that is worn for special purposes, e.g., by actors during a play, by merrymakers during Halloween. At 391, 391.01-391.04, 391.1–391.3, 391.1, 391.2, and 391.3,
“costumes” instead of “costume” is used. We have changed all instances of “costumes”
to “costume” at these numbers.
Costume of men, women, and children have their numbers at 391.1, 391.2, and 391.3,
respectively. These numbers are displaced from their Table 1—08 location by the
following entry:
391[.008 1–.008 4] Sex and age groups
Do not use; class in 391.1–391.3
Both 391.0083 and 391.0084 are restored since groups of people, such as youth and
young adults, are not provided for at 391.1-391.3. The new provisions are similar to
those at 646.40081-646.40084.
Non-auxiliary garments have specific numbers at 646.43-.47 and 687.1, and need specific
numbers here in 391. The following gives the caption with each 646.4 and 687.14
number as given in Edition 22 or as modified in EPC Exhibit 130-26.

Except for the non-parallel numbers, the arrangement of the garments is the same at both
locations. Thus, the new development at 391 should use the same general arrangement.
Because the only two vacant numbers, 391.8 and 391.9, are separated from 391.4
2
Auxiliary garments and accessories, the new development will be under 391.4, whose
heading is changed to Garments and accessories.
The above developments have three units; thus, the proposed development will use the
current vacant 391.46-391.48. Because 391.41-391.45 are currently auxiliary garment
and accessories and because topics-not-provided-for-elsewhere usually comes last, the
“Specific kinds of garments” unit will come after the “Outerwear” unit. A classelsewhere note will be added to indicate that “Garments for specific purposes” takes
preference over “Specific kinds of garments” and “Outerwear.”
The changes at 391.1-391.3 were approved as part of EPC exhibit 128-24.1; however, the
change in wording of “Outer coats, sweaters, wraps” to “Outerwear” at 391.46 also
requires a change of wording here at 391.1-391.3.
Currently, there is a class-elsewhere note at 391.1-391.3 Costume of specific ages and
sexes to 391.4 for auxiliary garment and accessories. New relocation notes from the
391.1-391.3 entries to the new 391.46-391.48 entries parallel this class-elsewhere note.
At 391.42, “sleepwear” replaced “nightclothes” in the heading, and “nightclothes” is
shown as a varant name for “sleepwear.” These changes are similar to 646.42 Sleepwear
and underwear in EPC Exhibit 130-26 640.

394.1 Eating, drinking; using drugs
The current structure was introduced in Edition 19. At that time, food and meals were
relocated from 392.37 to 394.1, but at the same time 394.12 Eating and drinking was
introduced. We believe that the relocation should have been to 394.12, not to 394.1.
Thus, we propose to move “Class here food” to 394.12, and meals to 394.125. At
394.125, we have provided specific entries for various types of meals. The development
is similar to that at 641.52-641.54 Cooking specific meals in EPC Exhibit 130-26.
At first glance, it would seem as if meals should be moved to 394.15 Specific meals, and
the proposed development for various types of meals should be there. There are 161
titles in WorldCat at 394.15; however, 113 of those titles are limited to the customs of
tea, especially the Japanese tea ceremony. Thus, to avoid a major shift of material, we
propose to leave customs of tea at 394.15 and to relocate specific meals to 395.125. In
7
addition, a see-also reference from 395.15 to 395.1253 for afternoon tea, a type of meal,
is provided.
One could ask why not relocate 394.16 Use of drugs, which is awkwardly located in the
394.1 development, to another location and move “Eating and drinking” from 394.12 to
394.1. There are 641 titles in WorldCat classed at 391.14. Also, “Use of drugs” would
be just as awkward in any of the other developments of 394. Thus, we do not propose
any changes for 394.14 Use of drugs.
