Hand kerchiefs.

Ladies having no maid, yet who pos
sess fine handkerchiefs, are foolish to
send them away to the laundry, where
they are apt to be torn or lost. By
putting in warm water a few drops Of
ammonia and using CASTLE soap, they
are easily washed and made a beauti-
full, clear white. Then do not iron, but
spread the handkerchief out smoothly
on marble or glass, gently pulling out
or shaping the lace. Just before 1t Is
entirely dry. fold evenly and smoothly.
and place under heavy book or weight
of some kind, and you will find your
handkerchiefs lasting twice as long a.
ever before.
