A very easy and cheap way of renovating this is to hang it up on a hanger in ttae bathroom while the hot bath is' in progress. Let the hot-water tap run and close the doer and window so that the room gets steamy. While the bath water is running the velvet frock or elpak is taking on a new lease of life. Yon can add the.cold water and open the window a little bit befoTe bathing, and leave the frock on its hanger there or take it^from the room, as you please. Brush'tie dress while it is still dampish with a soft clothes-<brush. Every bit of fluff will come»off quite easily, and the "pile" of the material will be. raised as it was when new. ■Spots can be taken out with a soft cloth while the steaming is in progress —or, if they are very obstinate, a little benzine may be used, if all precautions aTe taken not to do it near an open light. Only the merest drop on a piece of velvet or flannel is needed. Ru!b •gently in a round and round movement taking care not to damp the pile.
