To Cleanse WOODEN or Silk Goods
The Rural NeaO Yorker says: L
among the innumerable benZines, anC
cleansing fluids afcat, one does not hap
pen to have anything satisfactory to OBJ
viate the effects of an overwhelming &C
cident, as, for instance, getting wagol
grease on some costly fabric, try the yoll
of an egg. We have used it for years
and like it still. Separate the yolk from
the white as perfectly as possible. The
stretch the fabric on a board, and with ;
soft clothes brush dip into the yolk, an
rub the spot with it, until the greas
seems loosened. The yolk will not In
lure the most delicate colors, but the rub
bing may, if too sevre. Then rinse wit
warm rain water, rubbing the edges Wit
damp cloth and clapping the whole be
tween dry towels. IT the stain is nc
quite gone, repeat the process. 1t wi
not do SO well for fabrics mixed with co
ton or linen.
