Putting Away Clothing.

Never put winter clothing away
with any soiled spots on then.
Scour them all out. When all the
clothing are beaten thoroughly and
brushed and cleaned, fold each
article separately, and with care as
to iol1ing. Then see that the chests
are absolutely tight, that there are
no cracks in them anywhere. Ii
there are, paste newspaper over the
cracks and see that there is not even
the smallest crevice for the moths to
enter, for if there is one they will
surely find it. Wrap up each article
separately, either in old sheets or
old towels or in papers; see to it that
they are absolutely clean.
