HINT ABOUT WASHING VEILS

How White Lace Affairs Can Be Clean and as Good as New With a Little Care. Keep your white lace veils clean by letting them lay in a strong lather of white soap and clean water for half an hour; squeeze and rinse in clear water. Then rinse twice in weak blue water. Now pass the veil through water in which, a very little raw starch has been dissolved; squeeze the water out, and stretch and pin it on a clean doth, keeping the edges as straight as possible. Should the veil be edged with scallops, fasten each out with pins, so when it is dry the lacy part will be smooth. When almost dry, place under a thin cloth and iron with a warm iron. Roll over a bottle to keep it perfectly smooth when not in use.
