Clear Starchil,R,

meant by clear starching and how is it done ?''
clear starching'' is simply the process by

cambrics are made to look like new after 60

these delicate fabrics will bear rubbing or
Wrlnging; the only proper way is to squeeze
them gently in the suds and rinse them care
fully through suds of tepid water. This
may be prepared either by lathering a piece
of borax soap through the water, or odds and
ends OF toilet soap may be cut very fine and
half q teaspoonful of powdered borax added
to pint of these scraps. Put the soap and
OF boiling water over it; stir and beat thor.
oughly with an egg whip, which will cause
every particle OF the soap to dissolve, and
when it is cool it will look like jelly, and will
make an excellent lather. If it is desired tc
have the articles look yellow, a teaspoonful
OF clear coffee added to pint of starch will
give proper tinge; if dead white is preferred
bleach the articles by sleeping in glass ia,
filled with suds, and set in the sun, but do not
use bluing; If clear white is wished use only
the smallest possible quantity OF bluing and
II blush tone is intended, increase the
quantity of bluing. Always blend the raw
starch to perfectly smooth paste with cold
water, then to liquid with cold water, add
boiling water, stirring all the time briskly
i'll the starch is Of right consistency. Let
boil until clear: add a teaspoonful Of alco-
hol to quart of starch, and when colo

hands until nearly dry. Lace articles pin te
