To Wash Irish Crochet.

Irish crochet is one of the few laces which appear equally as well after washing as beforer" Have a basin of moderately hot suds made with a pure white soap. Stretch the lace on a board and scrub with a soft hand brush, using plenty of soap. -Rinse the lace thoroughly until every particle of soap has disappeared. Have the last rinse of blue water, and if the lace is discolored, allow it to bleach, dipping in water each time it is hung in the sun. When Ironing, use an unusually heavy , pad, covering the lace with a thin piece of muslin, to prevent soil from the irons. Iron until perfectly dry.
