CURLING FEATHERS.
How to Restore Brilliancy to Dull and

How to Restore Brilliancy to Dull and
Dusty Plumes.
There are few things that give hat

ance than an ostrich feather limp and
detected, looking almost as forlorn as
when it and it's fellows arrive fresh
from ostrichland. Any one seeing an
ostrich feather then would think it only
fit for the ragbag, but series of brisk
scrubbings in warm soapsuds on q
dashboard, judicious patching to-
gether and elimination of ragged
places, where Sir Ostrich has preened
himself too vigorously, curling and
combing, soon make of the ostrich
feather thing of beauty and joy
forever-until it gets wet-when the
process of regeneration again becomes
necessary.
Have a tea-kettle full of boiling
water; shake the feather vigorously
through the escaping steam, taking
care that it does not get too damp.
This livens up the plume and restores
brilliancy if it has become dull and
dusty. Next take a silver fruit knife,
and, beginning with the feathers near.
est the quill, take a small bunch be-
tween thumb and forefnger and draw
gently over the blade of the knife until
they curl as closely as desired. Follow
this process up each side of the tip;
then take a very coarse comb, comb out
carefully and you have your plume as
good as ever.

trying to drive from his soul the demon
of rinbelief, that he would turn to the
good comrade for help? No; he would
go to the woman who loved him, and
whom he knew knelt down every
night of her life and said a prayer for
him.
When people are suffering, mentally
or physically, they do not turn for help
or sympathy to that one whose speech
is brilliant and witty and whose brain
is strong, but they reach out, like lit
tie child, to that one who loves them
best, and whose heart is OVERLOOKING
with sympathy and pity. Friendship
is great blessing, but it cannot take
the place of love. And. II either man
or woman marry, believing that a
friendly feeling will be sufficient in
their united lives, they surely in time
will realize only too sadly the posi-
bility of love coming to them, and the
dread Of a tragedy If he should be
greeted with joy. Therefore l say to
you, my girl, in building up your life
you need as foundation for its shelter
the cornerstone of love and no other
will answer. If in its place you put
friendship, mental sympathy, or good
comradeship, the house will topple
over when the wind of misery comes,
for its foundation stone will drift
away, carried along into the sands Of
indifference, and you will stand alone,
weeping for that one who is not, and
having around you only friendship and
its kindness, while you long for love
and its sympathy.
