Babies' woolly animals are nearly always mado in pastel shades which become dirty quickly, writes a correspondent. They can bo cleaned in the following manner with great success: Allow some hot soapy water to become fluke-warm. Then dip a thick pad of soft muslin in the water and rub it all over the woolly coat, changing the cloth as it becomes soiled. When the Wool is clean wipo it with a cloth wrung out in cold water until it is freo from soap. Great care should be taken to avoid saturating tho animal which is being cleaned, for not only will it lose its shape but it will take a long time to dry.1 Use a wire brush for tho coat when it is dry.
