Is, but q better method Is as follows:
Transfer the feathers to q larger cot
ton bag by sewing the edges Of its
opening to the opening Of the tick.
Shake the feathers from one to the
other. Sew up the opening and wash
in lukewarm water, using neutral
soap. Rinse well. Press as much of
the water out as possible and place
on a cloth in the sun. Turn often and
beat up from time to time. Wash the
tick separately, and starch it on the
inside with stiff starch mixture, ap-
piled with a brush or sponge. Trans
fer the feathers again when dry.
Almost any combination may be
used for fruit cup or fruit salad, but
there should be included something
pleasantly acid, such as orange or
grapefruit, or tart sliced apple. Some
of the best fruits to include in a salad
are canned pineapple, peaches, fresh
or canned canteloupe, cherries, fresh
or canned apricots, dates prunes, figs,
marashino cherries, Malaga or Tokay
grapes. A few nut meats are an
agreeable addition, and also berries in
season The fruits should be cut in
attractive pieces, and they should not
be stirred about, or they will look
mushy and shapeless.
