CUTTING AWAY WINTER CLOTHES.

Dear Corre-itss: Possibly you have all s-at away your winter garments, but # Fen haven't this Is fine month to get -1enl out on the clotheslire for q thor 1ash summing before laying them away or tee summer. AS the clothes hang on .he line they should be beaten with al aeHt flexible stick. and then gone oGer.. h.tH whizk broom until the dust in FScry seam. pocket ard pieat is whisked away. J1 IHtcr,ined garments, or liniues that fanEot be folded hack for examination Should be sprayed with gass;ine. A small tapanued tin blow pipe (such as artists pse to spray their charcoal drawings Fifth shellae( or an atomizer may be used Tor this purpose. CT the gasoline may 9impiy be shaken on from a whisll broom Spots and stains should be removed as }ar as possible. r a If these precautions be taken.t the Fcusekeeper may feel reasonably sure th2t her garments conceal no moths and fsgs. and may then proceed to store them away. sealed tightly in package form. To Dc sure, there are excellent tar bags on khe market made for the storage of win Fer clothing, but ordinary ncvsna perE tcaled tightly together at the edges will snswer as we'll Carnphor cedar chips, or s9oacco may be laid inside and about the toldcd garment before the rewspapers are aled over if in package form. These adors will not kill moths nor prevent the asgs from matching. if they already exist fl the garment, bnt they will aid in tceping outside moths away.
 Here is the way I make my storage Bundles: l fold the garment. with 6 few EmpEor balls and wrap # in double 4ickness of newspaper, tying # securely ufT package in another double thickness of newspaper and tie it once more. but this hfne ] seal down the ends and edges with Barrow strips of paper which l have cov- Fred with glue. Sometimes, Wth 2 gar Fcnt suca as particularly pretty waist et the article of clothing hang upon i sD1t hanger inside the sealed newsDonar Package pushing the wire hook of inc Hanger through c small hole in the mack. sge tso that it can hang from nail ir ny attic) and p2stinE the glue strips of paper closely about this sole so that the sundle will be alright. Fur neckpieces gn;ch are apt to muss from long lying tTe beat stored in this manner, on Z danger.
 SChests or trunks in which packages 0, sothes are 10 be packed should hav, ather g. strong soa9 and water bath o, should be sprayed with gasoline and the, e well stunned. A closet in which mothI ave appeared should have a thorougl Hrubbins, while it's contents should. O rTlrse, he hung on the clothesline. | there are cracks in the floor or walls O tjoye the beseboard in such closet. the1 a'culd all be filled with gasoline and al owed 10 air we'll Care should be take, Hat this work Is not done near heat O lsme. as there is danger that the gasolin .aTnes might ignite. A sulphur candle ma 7e burned in the closet in place of usirfi gasoline, if desired.
 Very valuable coats or other expehsiv articles of apparel should be steam tieaued by a reliable cleaning establish faent before being laid away; steam leaning positively kiils moths and egg sild, although the work will be expensiy, irll it fig safer than stunning and brushin acgarment and the housekeeper will fin hat much peace of mind results fror sbing to this expense.
