HOW TO FRESHEN FUR PIECES
PeItry Should BE Placed on Table and
Rubbed With Moistened Saw
dust or CoFnmeaI.

Fur garments do not show dirt as
much as fabrics, but If they are worn
a great deal, dust and dampness cause
an accumulation of dirt round the
roots of the hairs. The oil that re-
mains in the skin holds it.
To clean a fur garment. place it fat
ON a table and rub 1t with moistened
sawdust or cornmeal, then beat it
thoroughly with a small stick. Do not
hang the garment up to beat it, nor
strike hard enough to lnjure the skin
When you have rubbed and beaten it
well, so that you have broken up and
lOOsened the cake accumulation, give
the garment good shaking and hang
it in the wind
Do not hang furs in the sun, nor In
any warm place, for that dries and
Injuries the skin. When you take the
garment in, repeat the shaking process
and if necessary the rubbing and beat
ing as well. This is the method used
by a professional cleaner.
