RENOVATING THE TULLE VEIL

Few Moments’ Care and Trouble Will Restore Adornment to Original Beauty. Tulle veils that have become limp may be renovated by pressing them with a warm iron, having first placed a handkerchief between the iron and the tulle. Lace veils and scarfs should be soaked in a strong lather of white soap and soft water and allowed t 6 simmer gently in a saucepan over a fire for about twenty minutes. The veils should be lifted out and squeezed tightly, but not rubbed, then rinsed out in bold water. The second lot of water should be faintly tinged with blue and have in it a small quantity of hot starch. Clear the veils of any particles of the starch by clapping well between the hands; then pin on a clean white cloth and allow to dry. In this manner they will look as fresh and clean as when new, and they may be washed any number of times. Veils should always be ironed with a handkerchief or piece of fine linen between, as they are much better and wear longer if they do not come in direct contact with the iron.
