FRESHENING RIBBONS.
A Simple Process For Cleansing Them
at Home.

A good sized empty glass bottle COW
cred smoothly with soft tiannel and
linen outside is most valuable to girl
who likes plenty Of pretty ribbons and
who has only limited amount OF
money TO spend on them. for with
such a bottle to dry the ribbons on
there is no need of ironing. and SO the
pieces come from the bath looking like
new.
A fiat. wide. high bottle is best for
It's purpose. and a piece of flannel
rolled around it smoothly and sewed
securely make Il foundation. over
which cotton must be bound SO that
any creases in the cover will not go
into the ribbons.
The same bottle may be used for
years without recovering.
1t is well to wait until there are
dozen or more narrow pieces To be
freSheDed. for it is no more trouble to
cleanse II dozen than to wash one
They should be put into bath OF
soapy warm water. but soap Is not to
be rubbed directly upon the ribbons
Neither should the pieces be rubbed in
the hands. Instead they are squeezed
under the water. put through several
soapy baths and through two rinsinGS.
Laying them Oh the bottle requires
time. and one should consider it IL tas!:
to be done carefully. Each piece OF
ribbon should be put around and
pr,,,1n1 tina hn..in tnDy,inv tho uini-
ing fat and smooth. As fast as one is
used the EeXt is placed. the new end
holding down that OF the piece previ-
ously folded. There may be four or
five pieces. one on top of the other. and
if the quality is good the colors will
not run. The end of the last piece
must be pinned TO hold al! securely.
and the bottle should then be placed
where drying vii! be rapid. Direct
sunlight may fade the colors. SO the
cylinder should b" put near artificial
heat. When not in use the bottle must
be wrapped in paper to prevent soiling
the covering.
Wide ribbons are renewed by wash
ing. though i'll Il different manner. for
to prevent their creasinC in bath
they must be evenly wet with clear
water and then paited smooth GA a
marble waShStand or other fat sur
face. The strand must then lie washed
with sOapy water. using the finger tips
This ScourS without pulling the silk
grain. When Hll soil has been removed
the ribbon is lifted and rinsed by hold

water run through ard down without
permit ting tie surface To- wrinkle. This
done. the wet strand is again laid fiat
and patted gently and thoroughly that
there may be no blisters beneath the
surface. for they show when the silk is
dry.
