                    [A] 45 to 98% by weight of a water soluble or water                
               dispersible polyether polysiloxane A [containing ether                  
               groups and polysiloxane blocks ],5                                        
                         [1] the polyether groups of which consist of                  
                              [a] 30 to 100 mole percent of oxyethylene                
                                   units,                                              
                              [b] the remainder being oxypropylene                     
                                   units, and                                          
                         [2] the polysiloxane block of which has 10 to                 
                              100 siloxane units;                                      
                    [B] 1 to 20% by weight of a water soluble or water                 
               dispersible organopolysiloxane B with at least one                      
               ammonium group linked over a carbon atom; and                           
                    [C] 1 to 20% by weight of                                          
                         [1] water or                                                  
                         [2] a water soluble alkylene glycol,                          
               provided the ratio of polysiloxanes A:B is between                      
               about >10:1 and 15:1.                                                   

                               Object of the invention                                 
                    3.   An object of the invention is to make a                       
          "cellulosic nonwoven material" which is "soft" (specification,               
          page 4).                                                                     

             There is no antecedent in claim 1 for the following two subsequent limitations5                                                                        
          which appear in claim 1:  (1) "the polyether groups of which" and (2) "the polysiloxane
          block of which".   If there is further prosecution, applicant may wish to amend the
          language "polyether polysiloxane A" to read "polyether polysiloxane A containing ether
          groups and polysiloxane blocks".                                             
                                        - 3 -
