How TO KEEP Snxs.-Our lady read
ess may Be glad to learn that silk arti-
les should not be kept folded in white
paper, as the chloride Of lime used in
bleaching the paper VIII probably impair

paper Il better; the yellowish, smooth
India paper is best Of al. Silks intend.
edfpr dress should not be keptlong in
ne house before they are made up, as ly-
ing N the folds will have q tendency to
its durability By causing It to cut
o. split, particularly If the silk has been
lhi1kcned by gum. Thread-lace wells
ere very easily cut. But dresses of vel
vet should not be laid BY with any weight
upon them. If the nap Of q thin velvet
= laid down il Is not possible to raise
itur Sgain. Hard silk should never be
Eli1klsd, because the thread is easily
broken ID the crease, and it never can
Be rectiied. The way to take the wrin-
kles out Of silk scarf5 and handker-
chiefs Is 20 lnoisten the surface evenly
