HOW TO PUT AWAY FURS. Simple Method For Sf!y Storlna Qr mants During Summer. It Is often declared that tho storing of valuable fura nt homo Is a fultte economy, but It is ono which tho worn an who possesses valunblo furs seldom nttcmpts to practice. The very fact of her being ablo to buy such things ar gues that whon warm weather comes along the problem of storage Is prompt ly solved by her maid going io me iciu- nlinnn mill t-Illirlnir 111) a KOOd firm of furriers with Instructions to call for madam's beautiful peiiry next mum iiiir Tho furs co nwnv. are cleaned and Ho in an arctic atmosphere until October comes nipping nua mauam wonts them again. Itnt tho nveraco woman, with her one fur coat or her muff and stole, seldom wishes to Involve tho expenso cutanea by such a proceeding, and It Is uot en tirely necessary that she should. Cleaning Is tho first matter to be cou- nlilnrod when nuttlntr away furs. A sunny, breezy day nhould be chosen for thfr tak, and each article bonten out oi doors with a light cane beater and left tnr nnmn hours to bCCOIUO thoroughly aired. Notice whether any Huff Hies from tho fur during the beating, as this is a sure sign that tho moths have been there already. The coarser sorts of fur, such as nro used for heavy motor coats, will stand a firm brushing with n fairly hard brush, but a softer brush must be used for tho more delicate skins, wnlcli should also be brushed after their beating. Bran which has been heated in tne oven and then rubbed into the fur Is an excellent cleansing medium. Powdered magnesia may be used lu the same way for white furs. After another shaking tho furs are ready to be put away. A stout chest lined with tarml paper is an excellent storing place. Euch gar ment should be wrapped In newspaper moths dislike the odor of the lull and whatever moth preventive the own er uses should be liberally appuea. Cumnbor and red pepper are not in tho high favor they enjoyed in our mothers' days. It Is uot uow consider ed necessary to have anything so disa greeable about one's belongings, anu thore Is a revival of the old world cus tom of uslna cloves and cinnamon, tonqnln beans and orris root. Llttlo muslin bags of cedar wood shavings distributed among the furs are an ex cellent moth preventative. If you have no sultabio cuest in which to store your furs a good plan Is to make bags of strong unbleached linen for each article. Make them so that they draw up securely at the top, and stitch sachets containing your pet moth scarer to their Insldcs. These bags may hang In a wardrobe, where thev will be convenient for tho occa sional overhauling which the iooU carefully put away furs should have once or twice during the summer. How to Kosp Rotes Fresh. Proper care of cut flowers will dou ble their lease of life. Even holhouso roses, usually the shortest lived of blossoms, can be made to retain tbelr beanty and fragrance for two weeks If one will take tho trouble to boll tho b terns. To do this set a pan of hot water on the stovo nnd when the water lteglus to boll place the stems of the flowers In the water to the depth of ono inch. Hold the flowers carefully to prevent their touching the sides or bottom or the pan. Allow them to boll fifteen or twenty minutes. Remove the flow ers and clip off the !Hrtlons of the stems that were In the water. They are then ready to be arranged In the vase or bowl. Many persons have poor success In keeping cut flowers because they do not put fresh water into flower vases everv dav. The. stems of tho flowers should be clipped every day to enable them to take up moro water, rsevcr leave cut flowers In a warm room overnight. Set them In a cool place.
