To Curl Feathers at Home.

When ostrich feathers have become a sorry sight, after exposure to dampness, they may be fluffed up again and given some curl by holding them over a very small gas flame. Great Care should be taken to have the flame low and to hold the feathers high enough to move slightly in the warm air, and so escape catching fire. If feathers are treated in this manner they will become surprisingly freshened almost immediately.
