Doing up Mems Linen.

A husband complained that his
shirt bosom and collars were badly
done up, and the case was referred 10
Il knowing shirt-naker and his an.
swcr was well worthy the attention
of house keepers:
Yes said the man, "the fault is
with your laundress. While doing
up your collars she stretches them
the wrong way. Damp linen is
very pliable, and a good pull will al-
ter a fourteen,inch into Il fifteen
inch collar in the twinkling of an
eye. She ought to stretch them
cross-wise, and not lengthwi<e.-
Then in Strengthening out your shirt
bosom She makes another mistake Of
the same sort. They also ought to
be pulled cross-wise insteadof length.
wise, particularly in the neighbor-
hood of the neck. A lengthwise
pull will draw the front of the neck,
band somewhat under your chin,
where it was never meant to go, and
of course it spoils the set Of your
collar. With the front of your neck
band an inch too.iong, you have a
most undesirable combination"
The necessary changes were made
in the methods of the laundry, and
