lins are sprinklel they are apt TO be
spoited. Some ladies clap muslins,
fheu DRY them. and afterwards
sprinkle them.
.Sprn,lling CIdhrS.-They should
be sprinkled with clear water, and
laid in separate piles; one Of fiannels,
one of colored, one OF common, and
one of fine articles.
Folding Clothes.-Fold the fine ar
ticles and rael them in towel, and
then fold the rest, turning them all
right side outward. Lay the colored
articles separate from the TEST. They
should not remain damp long, as
the color might be injured. Sheets
and table linen should be shaken
and folded.
Hroning.-In ironing a shirt, first
do the back, then the sleeves, then
the collar and bosom, and then the
front. Iron calieoes generally on
the right side, as they thus keep
clean for long time. In ironing a
frock, first do the waist, then the
sleeves, then the skirt. Keep the
skirt rolled while ironing the other
parts, and set q chair to hold the
sleeves while ironing H1e skirt, un-
less skirt board be used. Silk
should be ironed on the wrong side
when quite damp, with an iron
which is not very hot; light colors
are apt to change and fade. In
irohing velvet, turn up the face Of
the iron, and after danpening the
wrong side of the velvet, draw it
over the face of the iron, holding it
straight; always iron lace and needle
work on the wrong side, and carry
them away as soon as they are dry.
TO Make Starch for Linen, Cotton,
Ec.-To one ounce of the best starch
add just enough soft cold water to
make it (by rubbing and stirring) in
to thick paste, carefully breaking
all the Jumps and particles. When
rubbed perfectly smooth, add nearly
or quite pint Of boiling water with
bluing to suit the taste), and boil
for at least half an hour, taking care
to have it we'll stirred all the time to
prevent the accumulation of dust, etc.
Also keep it covered when removed
from the fire, to prevent a scum
from rising upon it. To give the
linen fine, smooth, glossy appear
ance, and prevent the iron from
sticking, add little spermaceti "a
piece as large "a q nutmeg) to the
starch when boiling, and half tea
spoonful of the finest table-salt. II
you have no spermaceti Ito be had
cheap at any druggist's), take q
piece of the purest, whitet hogs
lard, or tallow mutton is the Gest),
about as large as a nutmeg, or twice
this quantity OF the best refined LOAF
sugar. and boil with the starch. In
ironing linen collars, shirt-bosoms,
etc, their appearance vii lie much
improved by rubbing them, before
ironing. with clean white towel
dalayeuea IN soft water. The bosom
