YOUNG Young house
keepers who are worried when they wish to
wash feather bed tick will find that the
best plan is (if they have no old tick to
empty the feathers into) to sew together two
sheets, leaving hall of one end open and
ripping the half of the tick to match it. Sew
Doth holes together, thus emptYing out the
| lick without spreading the feathers.
