CLEANING WHITE FURS.
(Thanks to Mrs. D. ~, Arlington.)
In answer to Mrs. E. LIS request
on cleaning white furs. Make a
thick paste of rice flour and carbon
tetrachloride and rub this into the
fur, rubbing with circular motion
against the lay of the hairs. The
rubbing should be continued until
the hairs close to the pelt, as well
as the guard hairs, have been con-
tacted. After the fur has been
thoroughly worked with this paste
the furs should be beaten with a
light stick or rattan whip and then
shaken thoroughly to remove all
traces of the flour.
l know only one place where the
rice flour may be obtained and will
be glad to tell Mrs. E. L. If she
will call me any evening after at
Oxford 1889.

DYEING FADED SLIP COVERS.
(Thdnks to Mrs. J. G., Washington.)
Try dyeing over existing colors
that are faded. In general, light
colors for over dyeing are better
than dark colors, which are likely to
make the original pattern dull and
indistinct Try different colors on
small samples before choosing color.
A washing machine will make the
job a lot easier
STAINS ON WHITE ENAMEL?
REQUESTED by Mrs. v. c.,
Washington.
I have just moved into an apart
ment and find that the sink is
badly stained in brownish places all
over. I have tried securing pow
ders, gasoline and even soaked it
overnight in household bleach, to
no avail.
I would appreciate it SO much If
your readers could tell me how to
remove these stains.
Your column is a great help to
housewives. Keep up the good
work!
Editors note: Please keep in
mind, UIlen answering this, tDe
