A very excellent cloth cleaner is made from equal parts of ammonia and methylated spirit, mixed together in a bottle.
To get the best results, apply with a piece of cloth the same colour as the article being cleaned. This mixture is also very good for removing tar stains from rugs and carpets.
Back Paper Wrappinas, There is, I am assured by a friend with experience, a wonderful virtue in black paper for wrapping gold and silver trimmings. For the last few seasons these trimmings have been intermittently popular, anda glimpse of many of the bits which have been recently resurrected reveals a sadly tarnished state. Black paper wrappings would have prevented this. All frocks are better wrapped in black paper also. A good quality <f tissue paper is best, but if this is not procurable use a heavier grade.
Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
