water, rubbing well with her hands. Then
she strains the rice cut by pouring IN a bag
made of linen towel. and washes the gar
ment through the rice itself rubbing hard
with her hands. Then she rubs again
through the rice water, rinses in clear or
blue water. as she desires TO color the

you have got the fabric clean. You can

ought TO have after they have been married
