SOME HELPS FOR WASHDAY

Several Simple Ways by Which Busy Housewife Can Save Time and Strength. ■ 1 * When taking clothes off the line fold smoothly the wash clothsi bath towels and hose and lay them away without ironing. They are just as good for use as though they were Ironed, and the busy wife needs to save her time and strength whenever possible. Always iron embroidery on the wrong side so as to bring out the pattern. A -tablespoon of kerosene in starch will keep it from sticking. If you scorch an article badly when ironing, moisten it with lemon juice, rub in sor'Q Balt and lay it in the sunshine. If it is only a slight scorch the sunshine Mrill remove it. If possible, sprinkle the clothes ‘the night before ironing day. The dampness will be evenly distributed and they will iron easily next day. Black goods will not look shiny and the white starch will not show on it if it is ironed on the wrong side.
