TO RESTORE THE PILE OF VELVET.

If but slightly pressed, treat as you would crape. Steam on the right

side until heated through. If very badly crushed, wet on the wrong

side; let an assistant hold a hot iron, bottom upward, and pass

the wet side of the velvet slowly over the flat surface—a sort of

upside-down ironing. When the steam rises thickly through to the right

side, it will raise the pile with it. Dry without handling.
