very hot water, however, and they
ought not to be cleaned with soap
suds. Such treatment renders them
soft and makes the bristles yellow
The best way to clean any sort of brush
Is to dip it in a solution of ammonia
and water. Rub the bristles across
the hand in this solution or rub two
brushes against each other and the
dirt will soon be freed. Rinse in luke
warm water and dry quickly without
, placing the brush near a fire.
Most brushes with handles are dried
best when supplied with a loop OF
string at the end. Then they can be
hung up in the sun, where the bristles
will dry without being bent. A scrub
brush should never be dried on ITS
back. In fact. no brush should be dried
in this way. For then the water and
moisture on the bristles drip down
into the back and eventually loosen
the moorings of the bristles. Such
brushes should be dried on their side
or with brist1es down. The only
trouble with drying them bristle side
down is that this may bend the bristles
in light brush.
Often hairbrushes are made with
ornamental backs that ought not to
be placed in the ammonia solution.
In this case the brush should be low,
cred carefully into the solution and
then raised. In the same way it
| should be rinsed and then carefully
/ dried before allowing the bristles to
, dry 1t should be dried on its side. 1t
is always a good idea to leave hair
brushes in the sun some time after
i drying. In fact, g. sun bath is good
! for a hairbrush frequently between
Washings.

Green Forest, and besides had a rule

work, but he managed to remain as
polite and smiling as evern

but Mrs. Gobbler nudged him. The

whispered. Big Tom looked as if he
felt a little foolish and stopped rufffing
up his feathers.

This idea of embroidering in poster

There is fashion for these young

that are left over from adult gowns
can be attractively utilized in this
manner.
There will never be serious revolt

when it can be well done and when

makes it possible for him to meet diff

do without hesitation.
