THE CARE OF FURS.
A really valuable fur coat for which one has no use in summer should always be sent to a furrier to be cleaned and stored. Only in this way can its owner feel perfectly sure it will be kept free of the depredations of the moths, says a writer in a London paper. If you are putting your other furs away, be careful not to put them away damp, and give them a beating 'yourself to get rid of any dust. On the whole, it is better not to pack furs away, as people used to in the old days. One often finds uses for fur stoles and even wraps on chilly summer days. If you have plenty of warbrobe accommodation keep them in your wardrobe, and take them out every now and then and shake them. Keep some naphthaline and camphor balls in your wardrobe as a precaution against the moth. By the way, did you know that moths never go to dved furs? A well-known furrier told me this fact the other day, nnd as some of our smartest furs are dyed ones these days our worries about moths should be considerably minimised.
