Furs when taken out in the fall are often found to have a mussed,

crushed-out appearance. They can be made to look like new, by

following these simple directions: Wet the fur with a hair-brush,

brushing up the wrong way of the fur. Leave it to dry in the air for

about half an hour, and then give it a good beating on the right side

with a rattan. After beating it, comb it with a coarse comb, combing

up the right way of the fur.
