WHEN THE FEATHERS FLY.
An eiderdown that " leaks " and a nillow that gives one a crick in the< neck because of its hardness aro depressing things to meet in a bedroom. The quilt cover is worn, and the quilt looks thin because much of the down has "leaked;" the pillow is hard because it is too full. By robbing Peter to pay Paul, things nre evened up a little, and '<v taking out a few handfuls of feathers Iho pillow is softened and material oh tainetl for refilling the quilt. Snip the hard ends off the feathers, sew up any little cracks (here may ho in the cover, make an opening in tho mitred corner of each roll, and by putting the feathers into n paper bag and introducing the month of tin brig into the opening, it will be found easy to puff the feathers into tho quilt by squeezing tho bag.
