SAVING TIME WITH THE WASH

By This Schema K Really Seems That a Person Can Do Two * Things at Once. To-the housewife who most do most of her own work here te a saving of time. Fold evenly and shake well a sheet, which'lay smoothly on the ironing hoard. On this iron your daintily embroidered waists and underwear. After a waist is half ironed, move sheet along and finish waist. A little experience will show you how to run Iron on along the hems and edges without extra effort Turn sheet over, already folded as above, and Iron another waist. Lo and behold, you have two articles smoothly Ironed. Never sprinkle the sheets. The dampness from the other articles dampens them sufficiently. 'On pillow cases Iron all your and napkins, collars, etc. You will be surprised at the rapidity with which your basket empties and at the scheming you can do to Iron two things at once. Do not iron long on the, same sheet or pillow case—yon will find It yellowed and worn thin. Only iron till It Is nicely smooth. All unstarched articles Iron much easier when just taken from the line. Old ginghams, such as kitchen aprons and old house dresses, Iron smoothly when just dry, and unsprinkled, even though starched. While the woman is finishing the wash you can bte hustling the iron over these things.
