To Clean Brass Buttons and Shirt Waist Boxes.

A cretonne covered shirtwaist box which has become soiled may be easily cleaned. Dip a clean small scrubbing brusb in very thick suds made from white Soap and water, shake off as much moisture as possible and then scrub the cover. Rub until the spots disappear. Wipe vigorously at once, until dry, with a fresh cloth. The cover will look like new when the work is done. When polishing brass buttons on a garment, well to protect the dress goods. The best way to do this Is to take a piece of kid glove or heavy cloth, cut an opening in It sufficiently large to let the .button slip through, and, holding it in place, polish the button. In this way neither the polish nor the black from the button can reach the fabric.
