Cleaning Plumes
In Practical WAY

The woman Of limited means who
treasures her ostrich plumes as one OF
her most valuable assets looks dismayed
when her white ones become soiled and
the colored ones mussy.
Here are some real secrets, secrets Of
a professional feather worker on how to
renovate ostrich feathers.
II these directions are carefully fol-
lowed It will be quite easy for you to
keep your black and white plumes look
ing as good as new. The cleaning OF
them may be done year after year, SO
that they may be used as one season
follows the other. p.
An ostrich plume that is only slightly
soiled may be freshened up by steaming
1t over kettle of boiling water, Feath-
ers that are much worn and thin look
ing, however, will require more heroic
treatment
STo cleanse an ostrich plume wash 1t
in plenty of warm soopsuds, giving es-
pecial attention to the tip. This point
Of. the feather Is always more soiled
than the rest of the plume. Rub the
entire feather gently between the hands
just as one would fine handkerchief,
fiues may become broken. ~.
The feather must be as thoroughly
rinsed as 1t has been washed.
After the rinsing is over mix half
cupful of raw starch with a pint Of cold
water and let the feather stand in this
about ten minutes. To dry 1t, place 1t
| between the folds of a cloth and pat 1t
gently. Care is the chief thing. After
| II is taken from the cloth hang 1t in a
draft to complete the drying process.
When thoroughly dry shake the feath-
| er we'll, so as to free 1t from all starch
| If 1t Is black ostrich plume which
you are cleaning, brush II with fine
| hair brush and scrutinize II carefully to
| see that no starch is left along the
| quill.
