To Give a Satin Finish to Velvet.

If you have old silk velvet that yoU wish to turn into the fashionable Danne or satin antique use a good steel faced iron perfectly clean and smooth on both sides and face. Heat the iron but moderately. Spread the velvet face upward cn a clean ironing board and smooth it with the iron. taking great pains to press e right way of the nap, as it must be ironed the way the file faces best. keep the iron moving all the time. If allowed to stand al all it leaves an inefaceable mark.

Next take silver frui knife and beginning with the fiues nearest the quill take a small buno-- three-quarters of an inch on the feather between thumb and fore finger and draw very gently over the blade of the knife until you get neal the end. Then give a decided curl. Following this process up each side of the tip. Then take very coarse comb and comb out carefully. It is a great mistake to curl only two or three fiues al a time, as is sometimes advised as it injures them and makes the curl too tight. In select ing an ostrich plume look at them carefully and see mat the fumes are long, silky and perfect. If there are rough, scraggy looking places it is when the ostrich has picked himself in the preening and it never comes out.
