TESTED TIPS
(By Vera Wise.) (Copyright.) A piece of the steel wool such as is ■used, for cleaning aluminium ware is very good for raising the pile on suede shoes, and has a less destructive effect than a wire brush or stiff emery paper. The subdued shine of Morocco leather constitutes its chief charm. W/ich this becomes dulled, it. can be restored by rubbing it thoroughly with a clean duster first, then applying the beaten white of an egg with a sponge, and allowing it to dry on. The secret of the long life of good tailored tweeds is that they are thoroughly shrunk before making up. When a piece of tweed is bought for a dress or coat, it should be ivell shrunk, cither by thoroughly damping then pressing, or by steaming it; otherwise the first damp day will ruin its shape.
