POINT 5-Go over the gown carefully, and if you think tha any of the trimmings may dis- colour or perhaps rust, it is best to remove same. If the vell has tinted flowers trimming, these should be removed as they might tend to discolour paris

POINT 6-Seal the box with tape, wrap it in paper, which should again be scaled to keep out dust. Each year-and the anniversary is as good a time as any for this--open the box, remove the contents, thake out gown and vell, give them a good airing and then replace and re- pack as carefully as the original task was done. And each year the tank ahould givo more pleasure and satisfaction!
