Some people have so much trouble In
ironing shirts and collars they have them
washed at home and then sent to the
laundry to be done up and ironed. The
gloss and stiffness which some people ad-
mire In linen done up at the laundry may
be produced by first starching them in
hot starch, then In cold starch. Hot
starch should be applied "a hot as possl-

She tossed her golden curls aside.
And her blue eyes sparkled and opened
