How to Restore Crane,

1t costs from $3.50 to S. to restore a
widows veil, the price depending upon
the size of it, but the work can be
done at home for nothing at all, even
by an unskilled person. You lay a
folded sheet upon a table and pin
down the veil to it very carefully. The
hens must be straight and all edges
laid fat. Then you take a clean white
cloth wrung out Of hot water aud lay
over portion of the Grape.
When the veil is smooth hold a very
hot iron over the wet cloth and about
two inches away from it. 1t must
never for moment touch the wet rag.
Go all over the Grape as directed and
do not take from the sheet until per-
fectly dry. The Grape will then be
crisp and, In fact, exactly like new.
No matter how wrinkled it may have
been before, it will be perfectly smooth
now. Smaller pieces Of Grape may be
renovated in the same way.
