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.
