MADAME MENERE’S HINTS ON FURS. •‘A very effective and easy method of cleaning white furs,” says Maadme Menere, ’‘is to make a thick paste of ordinary starch with cold water, and with a nail brush or tooth brush, apply the paste to the fur, brushing it in the way the fur is running. Afterwards allow the fur to dry on a hanger and then shake it well and beat it all over with a cane.”—Advt.
