Washing Shawls.

To wash knitted or crocheted 'shawls, fold them as flat as possible and lay carefully in a pillow case, run through at intervals with basting thread to keep flat. Then they should be handled like other flannel or woolen goods, says the Dallas News. If washed separately, observe the usual precautions for woolen goods, gently squeezing through the hands and keeping the suds and rinsing water of the same lukewarm temperature. Take out of pillow case, but do not hang knitted goods up. to dry. Put in the oven on a big platter, shaking and turning occasionally, or lay on a clean cloth in the sunshine.
