a
(2) Avoid folding textiles, laces, costumes, etc.,
whenever possible. If it is nocessary to fold them,
tissue paper should bo placed in the folds to pre-
vent creasing.

rary storage. They should be lifted by the frame-
work when moved, to avoid soiling or tearing the
costumes.
(5) After removing textiles, costumes, etc., from ex-
hibition, be sure that all pins are removed to pro-
vent rust stains and blood stains from scratched
