~CCJTMBF.E seeds have an elegant

must pass easily through the beads. Be

To Clean Velvet.

nELICATE colored velvet can be
- cleaned with masnesia and fiuffed
by placing the goods over bowl OF
water. Stretch it tight, and allow the
steam to raise the velvet. Move it back
and forth over the bowl until all parts
have been touched. To clean velvet by
hand, moisten the thumb and pass it
over the velvet. 1t carries the lint off in
tiny rolls. This is good way to clean
collars and cuffs.
To clean a velvet coat, place the coat
upon an ironing board and brush it with
bristle brush. This removes loose lint
but it does not take off soft particles.
Dip a piece of velvet into water and
wiring it dry. Sweep the velvet coat
downward with it. Take short strokes
and lift the lint as it accumulates. This
freshens velvet. making it look like new.
To wash corduroy, place it in suds and
rub the goods with a soft brush. Rinse
without wringing and hang the goods
straight upon the line. Press on the
wrong side perfectly dry. with Turkish
towel under the material,
