TO CLEAN YOUR FUR If your furs have that “weary” look, after their summer rest cure, do not despair; it is quite easy to restore their freshness. Get some coarse bran and heat it, either by shaking it in a shallow pan over a fire or by putting it in the oven —but do not cook it. When the bran is really hot. rub it into your furs, as you would rub a dry shampoo into your hair. Leave it for some minutes, then shake the fur and brush -with an absolutely clean brush. Shake again and hang the fur on a line in the open air—you will be delighted with the result.
