Storing Winter Furnishings. After spring-cleaning comes the problem of storing the winter furnishings. These will be needed again next season. They should be thoroughly cleaned before being put away, as nothing makes them deteriorate more quickly than dirt. Moreover, soiled spots are susceptible to the destructive onslaughts of moths. Tapestries and winter curtains —even if the latter are of the heavy velour type—can usuallv be washed at home. Use plenty of soapsuds, avoid rubbing or squeezing and hang them on the line while thejj are dripping veet.
Mix pastry with a knife, and handle it as little as possible. To remove a ring from a finger swollen by its tightness, dip the finger in cold soapsuds.
