the night before; sop them gently IN
this water, and then, after squeezing
out the water, put them in tub of
clean, warm water. Continue to rinse
them in fresh tubs Of water until there
Is no trace Of soap; next rinse them in
water containing bluing. After press
ing out all the water possible spread
the curtains over sheets on the grass,
or if you have no grass put them. on the
clothes line. When they are dry dip

purpose. II you have no frame fasten
sheet on mattress and spread the
curtains on this, pinning them in such
manner that they shall be perfectly
smooth and have all the pattern of the

curtains light ecru shade, rinse them
