Keeping Pearis.

One way of keeping pearls bright and preserving the natural luster is to remove them when the skin perspires and take care that they are never put in places where grease or oily substances touch them, for they seem to eat or grind into the surface. They should not be put away In a velvet case or wrapped in wool, but when not in nse should be laid away In a soft linen or silk kerchief. If carefully cleaned and cared for pearls should retain their luster and brightness for years.
