CLEANING TIME
TO REPAIR AN EIDERDOWN. At ole-aning time when the beds are being overhauled, it is sometimes found that an eiderdown has become thin and shabby. It may be possible to renovate It, however, without much trouble or expense. If you have a feather pillow you do not need, you can put the feathers into the quilt, or maybe you have two or three pillows that are too hard because they are too full. By taking out a few handfuls of feathers from the pillows they are improved and made more comfortable, and the quilt Is given more stuffing. Snip the hard ends off the feathers, sew up any little cracks there may be In the cover, make an opening In the mitred corner of each roll. By putting the feathers into a paper bag and introducing the mouth of the hag into the opening, it will be found easy to puff the feathers Into the quilt by squeezing the bag. A new cover of inexpensive washing material will give your eiderdown another lease of life.
