now to Clean Ribbons.

Now that ribbons are so extensively
worn 1t is quite worth while TO know
how 10 clean them successfully and
easily. The two methods here given
have been put TO the pract. .cat test
many times over, so there need be no
hesitancy about trying either one
through fear of failure or of unsatis-
factory results. The first method is
exceedingly simple, and answers the
purpose for all except white -ibbons
or those that are very badly musscd.
Fill in glass fruit jar about nalf full
OF gasoline-more or less. according to
the amount OF ribbon to be cleaned.
Place the soiled ribbons in it-all coll
ors, lengths and kinds may 20 in at
once-and screw the cover on tightly.
Shake the bottle occasionally and leave
1t closed for from two to six hours or
over night Then take out the RIB
bons, shake each one we'll and hang it
10 dry in the open air. The ribbons
Will be clean and the dirt will be found
on the bottom of the jar OF course,
the ribbons need a thorough airing and
sun bath to remove the odor of the
gasoline. but that is all. No pressing
Is required. as the gasoline does not
anect them as water would The clear
gasoline should be poured of with
out disturbing that at the bottom;
then the dirt which has settled at the
bottom should be emptied out and the
clear gasoline put back. ready for use
another time. Keep it tightly covered.
and, OF course, never use II near a fire
because of the danger of its igniting
The gasoline will turn white ribbons
yellow, so this method Is not advisable
Tor them. II also leaves the ribbons in
the same condition as il found them
as regards their being mussed or crum-
pied, SO those that are badly creased
should be given the treatment that IS
accorded the white ribons. Prepare a
suds of soft water and any pure soap.
wash the ribbon in this. just as you
would wash a fine handkerchief. rinse
and let it partially dry. Take it down
while still damp in all parts and roll
1t smoothly over a wide card or piece
OF pasteboard. rolling a piece of clean
white muslin with It. Wrap the mus
lin round last, so that the ribbon shall
be covered. and place the whole under
heavy weight. A letter press is an
excellent place in which to press it.
Leave it until 1t shall have had time
TO dry. The muslin will absorb the
moisture. The ribbon Will come out
looking fresh and clean. and will have
lost none OF It's life" as is the case
with ribbons which are pressed with
m iron. II a good soap is used the
coiors will not run. and this process
takes out the creases as well as re-
moves the dirt.
