Information That Is OF Value to Ever,
Girl and Woman.
To most women the art of cieanina
and frightening up furs is profound
mystery, but Q cheerful little house.
keeper whose husband is furrier di.
vulges the secrets of the trade for the
benefit OF women who desire to be
economical and are willing TO take some
trouble to be SO. She says that all
dark furs, such as seal, mink and
otter, are best renovated with ma.
hogany or fine cedar sawdust, which il
kept in stock by all furriers, and Of
which enough to cleans a dozen garments
can be purchased for a small sum. Lay
the garment fat on bare table, fur
side up, take a handful of sawdust and
rub it thoroughly into the hairs. Spare
neither sawdust nor strength, for the
appearance Of the fur afterwards will
warrant the lavish use of both. When
the garment has been treated, take il up
end shake it lightly over the table.
where, OF course, great deal Of the saw.
dust will fall out; it should be gathered
up and carefully saved. Now lay upon
the table two pillows in their slips, and
over them spread the garment, fur down
this time, and beat it thoroughly with
light rattan OF smooth switch. Move
the pillows along as they are needed.
SO as to always have soft support for
the garment. Take itup, shake lightly,
brush off the pillows and table and con-
tinue beating until the fur is free from
sawdust, when it will be as bright a.
new fur. -
White furs must be cleaned with plain
white cornmeal, but in the same
manner. Small white furs that are not
much soiled may be treshened by the
use of cube magnesia, which must be
thoroughly rubbed in, and then as
thoroughly busted out. Fur cloaks,
light or dark, often become disfigured
with carriage grease, but it will yield
readily to gasoline applied with piece
of cotton batting. Gentle rubbing and
a renewal of cotton frequently are nee.
essary to secure success. Pitch, paint.
resin, tar and oil stains can all be
treated in this way, and II they do not
readily disappear, oil of turpentine
benzine or spirits of ether can be used.

Pretty Garments for Outdoor Sports

Cold Weather. -.
Golf bicycling and all the outdoos
sports demand loose-ftting waist, and
the weather is too cool now for a linen
shirt-waist. The newest thing that the
shirtmakers have offered for sale is the
flannel shirt waist, which is an exceed
ingly pretty garment. 1t is made with.
out lining, quite on the model OF the
linen shirts worn all summer, and il
finished with band around the neck
so that it can be worn with either .
stock or linen collar. All the pretty
shades of coloring are to be seen in
these flannel shirts. and they are made
of good-quality material. and wash OF
clean well. The plain colors are pre-.
ferred as yet, but those of plain colon
with polka dots of black are exceeding.
" smart. Of course there Is the oh.
lection that they are hard to wear uD.

as most sleeves now are lined with
eatin, that objection is soon done away
with.
The Same shaped waist Is made up In
figured delaine, and even in velveteeu.
The latter are very warm and rather
bulky to wear under coats, so thai
they are utilized rather as coats them
selves. and channels jacket is worn
inside. Corduroy is also used, but both
these materials are made with a piece
that comes below the waist to give more
the effect of Norfolk jacket, and u
