for cleaning blonde lace: Wind the blonde
on black bottle covered with clean linen,
securing the ends with needle and thread
not leaving the edge outward but covering
it as YOU proceed. Set the bottle upright in
a strong cold lather of white soap and very
clear soft water, and place it in the sun,
having gently with the hand rubbed the
suds up and down the lace. Keep it in the
sun every day for for a week, changing the
lather daily, and always rubbing the lace
slightly when the suds are renewed. At the
end of week take off the lace and pin it
backward and forward on pillow covered
with clean tight case, putting a pin of
smallest size to eaCn scollop. or none if not
very small; the plain edge should be pin.
ned down also so as to make it straight and
even. When quite dry take it Off but do
not starch or iron, aud lay it in long loose
folds in a pasteboard box.
