Care of Linen.

One of the most important departments in the management of a household is that which embraces a care of linen. Accordingly when this is well dried and put away in the closet the next duty is to secure it from the effects of damp and insects. These intruders are often destructive, but they may be prevented from doing injury by making the bags and filling with lavender, cedar shavings or a strong perfume and placing among the linen. In ill cases It will be found that the linen as well as all the other washable articles will be economised by being examined and where necessary carefully repaired previous to'sending to the laundry.
