White Elephant Party.


A big white elephant on a back
ground of red was indeed startling
innovation in invitations, and the com
mand it contained was equally start
ling. viz, to bring carefully wrapped
"a white elephant;" in other words
anything we didn't want.
Here was the long-looked for oppor-
tunity to get rid Of the terrible plated
card receiver with the malicious lit
tie bird perched on the handle True.
1t had long been banished to ignomin.
ious retirement.
Well, that party is going down in
history as one of the jolliest affairs
ever given by this clever hostess.
Each guest had the privilege of Sc
lecting a parcel, going of into a corner
and opening it. II satisfactory. all
well and good; If not, the object had
to be rewrapped with care, and one
more trial could be made. Such a
conglomeration and such fun
The one who took theNprize brought
a framed chrome called Wide

guest from another part Of town
brought the companion piece, Fast
Asleep" So she was also awarded a
prize.

WASHING SWANS DOWN FuR.
Delicate Fabric Requires skiIlful and
Careful Handling.

This fur is very delicate and soft
and forms a pretty trimming for chill
lren's clothing, but being white, it
soon becomes soiled and unless some
method could be adopted to restore
its appearance it would be rather an
expensive trimming.
Washing is one of the cheapest and
simplest methods for cleaning this fur
and almost restores its new appear
ance
AS the fur is very fine and easily
destroyed, all rubbing, and even
squeezing to any extent, must be
avoided, as either would break off the
down.
1t should instead be washed by
shaking in a good soap lather, and,
when clean, should be rinsed in warm
water and pressed to remove the mois-
ture.
1t must then be shaken to separate
the down and hung in front of the
fire to dry. 1t ought to be occasional
ly shaken during the drying process.
