going to bed, heat your bottle so it will
run out Now put a tin can lid on the

Folding Shirts.-Judging from the
number of badly folded shirts I fire.
quently see, says correspondent, am
led to believe that large percentage
of ladies are ignorant Of the proper
method; therefore few words on the
subject may not be amiss. Twas taught
to Law the garment, bosom down, upon
the ironing table, and with the right
hand grasp the left sleeve, taking hold
of the same side with the left hand; this
part was to be folded back one-third
the width of the shirt. measuring from
the widest Point. The sleeve must
then be laid down, with its upper edge
even with the recently made fold. The
same process is repeated with the 9TH
er side, and the bottom is folded until
the hem reaches the neck-band. This
is all very well as long as its owner re-
mains at home, but should he attempt
packing his shirts in trunk or valise,
the bosoms would very likely become
soiled. To avoid this a friend taught
me to lay the shirt with the back upon
the table and fold the bosom inside.
