To Starch Fine Lingerie.

Many housewives experience great difficulty in laundering fine lingerie, such as dainty waists, jabots, collars and so forth. The chief difficulty seems to He in giving them just the proper degree of crispness. > Rinsing them in a solution of borax gives the right degree of stiffness and renders them just like new. Two heaping tablespoonfuls of borax to five quarts of water is a good proportion. This is also excellent for thin dresses trimmed with lace.
