WAYS TO CLEAN
RIBBONS AND MEMS TIES
Amateurs Can Use Processes of Steaming With
Wet Cloths

the ribbon is steaming the wad should be
applied by smoothing.
If carefully done, ribbons so treated
will look like new. OF course, this only
applies to creased ribbons. If they are
sOiled also they must be cleaned before
being steamed.
This can be done by using gasoline or
any Of the excellent cleansing fluids that
can be bought for the purpose.
Soiled ribbons should be put to soak in
gasoline for twelve hours more pre-
vious to the steaming. If unusually dirty
a little white soap jelly should be added
to the gasoline. The ribbons may be
rubbed between the hands and then
rinsed in clean gasoline. When dry they
| will be ready for steaming.
| Soiled white ribbon, also fine ribbon in
delicate colors. will respond to soap and
water treatment. but will need pressing
| after the bath.
| For this treatment warm water. into
| which little white soap has been shred
| ded. is prepared. If the water is hard
pinch of bOraX must be added.
| The ribbons are put through this bath
| and when clean are rinsed first in warm
water and then in cold, few drops of
ammonia being added to the bath for
| colored ribbons.
White is apt to turn yellow if rinsed in
| ammonia water. Next roll the ribbons in
towel and while damp press with a
| fairly hot iron, using cloth as protec-
ton.
| Mems ties are usually cleaned and
| pressed in this way, especially if they are
quite soiled. but before washing it is a
| good plan to haste the edges of the tie
with a white thread and then sew through
| the thick parts.
Unless this is done the interlinng will
| twist and curl inside the tie, so it will
| be almost impossible to make the lining
| lie fat again.
In removing the basting threads, which
| is done after the pressing, it is better to
| cut the stitches and take out the short
! threads than to draw out long thread.
| These are simple details, but they are
| just the points a person is not apt to
| remember
| When the ties are only crushed they
can be smoothed by putting them through
| the steaming process. The undesirable
| gloss produced by the iron is then
| avoided. ELIZABETH LEE.

Ribbons are comparatively cheap, l
know. but as it is necessary they should
always look fresh and dainty woman
can spend a large sum in keeping large
enough supply of these pretty acces-
series. unless she cleans ana reviews theH
at frequent intervals.
This cleansing is much easier task
than formerly now that the weaves are
soft and supple. Several years ago the
thick, heavy, double-faced satins and bro
cades worm if cleaned at home, were sell
dom a success, but an amateur may
safely attempt the renovation of almost
any of the ribbons used at the present
time.
One of the best aids in freshening rib
bons is a homemade contrivance Tor
holding the hot iron while the work of
pressing is done. For this process get a
small. strong box from the grocer and
of one of the sides of the box saw strip
about four inches wide from top to Dot
tom. ,,
At the top of the box, on line with
the cutout strip, put -shapeo pee
of wood Then cover the top with piece
of TIM taking it down an inch or more
over the sides of the box. Cut out the
"V'' in tin and turn the edges down
neatly. When the iron Is not IL Is SUM
into the w. it's edges resting on the TIN
and the handle partly dropped into the
box. The slit is for the purpose OF allow
ing the iron to be easily removed
With such an aid the work can be con-
veniently done by one person, instead OF
two as is otherwise necessary. There is
no danger of scorching, because the rib
bons are passed over the iron, not the
iron pressed upon the goods.
When ribbons are only creased they can
-41., ,ir,er n n
a wet cloth over the iron and pass the
ribbon across the iron. and the steam
will make the creases disappear. If the
creases are deep lay the ribbon directly
on the wet rag and draw the former
across the iron No stretching or pull
ing should be done, but if the creases
remain then they should be smoothed
away by using clean, fiat wad. While
