This limitation does nos bstas2iiy sppiy
TO little folks sh9 I've in tie eooatey aud
take long cold winter sides. Coats ate

rltesan samh and white e2sacui, but shsy
are Tor driving only.
Tstse white fufs at fisst glance seem
very expensive affair, h~cAusa they sol
20 sssiiy, even whrn net used for ranyiag
and playing. But they can be essii,
cleaned by using strung solution OF
oossx wsleF. The wstsf as1at be hot aud
ths cleaning speedily done.
Take for homi Of hos waGer, two table
poonsaIs OF pure boFAx, then via
sponge hastiiy sponge the suri3ee OF this
sh0rt nap furs, letting item al once dry
In tie sun or by artificial heat. The long
nap tar may have the hsir dipped right in
the borax wster II you DO IL little 81
time, so as net 10 soak the peit. The skin
Itself dries slowly aud Is apt TO rot II We,
often, bat no amount Of wssting will
iare the hair II IL lie dried at once aud
quickly.
Farriers charge nearly the price OF ter
set for cleaning 1t in this very simple, in
expensive way. Three things should be
remembered-thst The sponge shoaio
never be used soaking act, and that IT
should be swiftly spplied. aud the for
rubbed lightly. When cleaned, II II can
be dried outdoors ia wind aud sunshine,
II will look like new.
But don't msks the mistake OF trying
to clean white fur beaver hats this way
They eau only be freehened by a dry
cleaning process, aud then not perfectly,
so that they are a biz OF txsraesggnes,
except for very best bat, ana then some
thing will be sure TO happen To them
Mouse-colored beavers to match velvet
moleskin coats are besutifai, aud 20 are
the other shades sDd all the different
tones OF brown that are so very fashion
able.
And brown is the color for small chill
dren this year. The Gsinsborough hats
and Victorian honnets are brown, and you
can get all shades OF brown stockings ana
boots and gloves. The psettiest brown
fur for little folks is dyse squirrel. II is
not expensive, and Is very soft and
babyish.
