The LAUNDRY

When ironing starched clothes, if the iron is dipped quickly into cold war ter each time when taken from the stove the starch will never stick and the clothes iron smooth and so quickly you hardly realize you're started before you’re done. Powdered boracic acid sprinkled on lace yoke or'collar, then laid away for a day or two, then well shaken out, will remove the soil. Fasten firmly at the center of back tape or ribbon, which is run through beading in underwear. This keeps it from being pulled half out or lost entirely in laundering. Linen pieces should never be put through the wringer if you would avoid the little wrinkles that are so hard to press out Small tucks will iron smoother and look better if Ironed on the wrong side. If knit wear, bath towels, etc., when taken from the lines are smoothed with the hands and put on the bars to air, will be ready to put away by the time the bara are needed, for the ironed clothes. To avoid the unsightly fold so often seen on top ot \a sleeve of starched shirt waists, foldlat the seam, iron the upper, then the lower side, not letting the iron within an Inch or two of the edge; then open the sleeve, fold with the unironed part in the center of the sleeve and press carefully.
