To Clean Ribbons

Ribbons are at once the most neces-
sary and expensive accessories TO a
woman's makeup. They must be fresh
and dainty, Tor soiled ribbon to a
woman is like soiled linen to man.
Frequent visits to the cleaner prove
no small item. and many women try
divers means Of cleaning their own rib
bons. The best for satin ribbon is soap
and water. Let the ribbon lie in clear
cold water from one-half to an hour
Then rub gently with the grain on
both sides with a good naptha soap
Roll and let lie for another hour. Then
place on a smooth, fiat surface and
brush lightly with a medium brush
being careful not to brush across the
grain Rinse thoroughly in clear water
and hang up by one end to drip dry
Do not wiring or squeeze the ribbon ant
do not iron until perfectly dry. Youl
ribbon will then be found to look like
new.
