THE HOUSEHOLD.

• THE CARE OF CLOTHING. What the French woman Does When Sri? '1 likes OIV Her Bonnot, .Much of ibe wear and tear which use u i mud clothing- may be averted by const a., r .• re, in regard to which Harper’s Bazt r y ves the. fo’. liwimr bints: Gowns should ia ) n.-hed before banging up in closets. Iti-i I to have this done as soon a« posaihbj I it taking them 'off. thoroughly remov b•' tlie tr t-i-a of h reel duH and mud from facings, seanisand ga'iijirs. The near, won i sii docs not brush her gown in her own chamber, but takes it into the bathroom and crushes It beside an open window, o-, h -:t still, has it carried out of doors fa {.•■-i-c-o germs maybe carried home in Bulbing, and wi re this not the case it is a very unfitly proceeding to put into one i wardrobe au article of dress which has no; ijren thoroughly cleansed. When the Frenchwoman takes off In? boiin-t, she does not bundle ir, at once into a imndbox, or throw it hastily on a shelf, or hang it. upon a peg. Hot she. Every little loop Mid bow Is pulled out and put into shape, strings are gently caressed into •■.iiiouthness, jets and aigrets are straight-i-ned and fastened in position, and the bon net mrivea the touch of the brush to re movt! dust, and then It is laid between folds .if tissue paper and is ready for its next ap;vt.ranee, us fresh and new to all intent a.v.hen it left the milliner's hand. Gloves art: expensive articles, no matte: how sedulous the care bestowed upon them But gloves will last a third longer than they usually do if pulled off the hand from the wrist down and turned inside out, as b done when they are tried onin the shops. B laid by themselves, properly straightened Hiid-.not crumpled into a tight ball, and if mended at the instant a rip shows itself, a pair of gloves will retain their pristine fresh ness. It is a good policy to have best and sec-ond-best gloves and gloves’for shopping and running about. In our chilly winters the last mentioned should be of dogskin and sufficiently loose not to cramp the hand. Light gloves may be cleaned more than once to advantage. ■ . ;A Puffball of a Coverlet.
