"Well, I always hang mine in the sun for a while, then I beat them well, comb them out with a steel comb, and wrap them up."

"With moth-balls?"

"That is a good way, but not at all necessary. I always wrap mine in a newspaper—a good tight package. Moths don't like printer's ink, you know, and furs so wrapped are perfectly safe."

"Then, Bettina, you don't need to add that you label the package, for I know that you do, you thoroughly thorough housekeeper!"

Bettina laughed. "Well, Ruth, I do label it. Labelled packages are so much better to have, for very often you need to get something out in a hurry."

For dinner that night Bettina served:

Broiled Steak Lyonnaise Potatoes
Bean Salad
Bread Butter
Date Rocks Coffee
