A HELPFUL CORNER.

The question "what constitutes
perfect home," is often asked, and
various answers can be found. Helen
Hunt gives the best answer of ALL
She says
The most perfect home / ever saw
was little house into the sweet in
cense of whose fires went no costly
things. A thousand dollars served as
a years living for father, mother AMI
three children. But the mother was
the creator of a home; her relations
with the children were the most beau
tiful | have ever seen; every inmate OF
the house involuntarily looked into
her face for the keynote of the day,
and it always rang clear. From The
rose bud or clover leaf, which in spite
of her hard homework she always
found time ITO put beside our plates
at breakfast, down to the story she
had on hand to read in the evening,
there was no intermission of her infiu-
ence. She has always been and al
ways will be my ideal of a mother,
wife and home maker. If to her
quick brain, loving heart and eX-
quisite face had been added the APP
plances of wealth and enlargements
of wide culture hers would have been
absolutely the ideal home. AS it was,
it was the best [ have ever seen.

slippers, delicate neck wear and num-
berless articles, will not injure the
most delicate color or texture, nor
leave any odor if properly aired. Lace,
net, or silk dresses may be success
fully washed without ripping apart or
removing trimming. A little expert
ence in using gasoline would be worth
dollars to every housewife and to ev-
cry woman of moderate means who
wishes to dress well.
1t may not be amiss to say that all
delicate articles should be kept in a
separate laundry bag and never put
in the general wash.

Laundering Delicate Fabrics.
Good Housekeeping says:


The feeling of satisfaction with
which the average woman sees the
last of her spring sewing done is too
often modified by the knowledge that,
after the first soiling, many of the
dainty garments can never be restored
to their original freshness and beau
ty. People of moderate means can
scarcely afford to send such pieces to
a professional cleaner, and in the
become but an irritating reminder of
past glories. Yet it is by no means
impossible to do them perfectly at
home, and the result amply repays
the care and labor.
For linens, cambrics, lawns, laces,
and all delicate white goods, the fol-
lowing method has been found entire
ly successful: Put into wash boiler
enough soft water to make a good
washed. Add two ounces of soap cut
in fine shavings for every six quarts
of water. When the water is boiling
the soap should all be dissolved Pour
this suds over the clothes and let
them soak twenty minutes; then rub
and press them with the hands till
clean, using no board and no more
soap. Rubbing on a washboard is
harder on delicate fabrics than all the
wearing they receive, while strong
soap Injuries the texture anu finish.
If the goods have had more or less
stiffness when new, mix half a cupful
of flour to smooth paste with cold
water, add two quarts of boiling wa
ter and stir this thin starch into
enough warm water to cover the
clothes. Rub and pat them through
this water as through the first suds;
rinse twice, using a little bluing in the
last water for all pure white pieces.
Cream-colored pieces may have cup
full of strong coffee in the last rinse
water, or a tea made by pouring a
cupful of boiling water over a pinch
of dried saffron, which may be had at
any drug store. Coffee gives a pale
ecru shade while saffron gives cream.

Plain white goods are whittier when
dried in full sunlight, but colored
goods should always be dried in the
shade In hanging clothes on the
line or rack, see that they are placed
smoothly and SO that they will hang
as far as possible in natural lines.
Clothespins often tear and twist deli
cate pieces and should be put on with
care. Handkerchiefs are best dried on
a clean sheet spread over bed or on
frame indoors. Pull them out gently
till exactly square, and draw the
points of embroidered ones into prop
er shape.
If washed as directed, through the
starch, water and all, cotton hand
kerchiefs will be almost as nice as
linen, and the linen will have a beau
tiful gloss and body without being I'M
pleasantly stiff as when starched by
ordinary methods.
Delicate white goods do not need
boiling every time they are washed;
once in three times is enough. After
being washed through the soapy suds
they should be boiled for twenty min
utes in soft water to which a large
spoonful of pearline has been added.
A delightful addition to this boiling
water is a piece of Florentine orris
root, which will leave a family sweet
but lasting odor of violets on all the
garments. After boiling, put the
clothes through the starch suds, rinse,
and dry as usual. For mulls and soft
finished cottons omit the starch.
Co1ored goods and white goods with
colored figures should soak for half
an hour in a pail of soft water con-
tanning one tablespoonful of salt and
the same of alum to the gallon Of wa
goods and rinse in warm water con-
tanning the same proportion of salt
and alum; dry in the shade. This
trea tment will preserve the beauty
both of finish and color in fine ging
hams, lawns, and even calico indef-
initely. White embroideries and laces
washed by these rules have just the
body and look of new goods. They
should be carefully pulled into shape
while wet and dried indoors.
Black lawns and sateens suffer even
more from careless laundering than
white goods. Under ordinary hand
ling sateen, black or cOlored, loses
all it's beauty but it may just as easily
come from the wash as good as new.
Colored goods should first have the
salt and alum bath, then prepare a
starch suds as directed above. Rub
and pat the garment through this till
clean, but use no soap, rinse twice
and dry in the shade. Wash all black
cotton, lawn, and sateen the same
way, but fine qualities do not require
the first soaking.
The starch, applied in suds as di-
rected, gives newer look and more
natural finish than any other method.
1t irons better than any of the gum
preparations and does not injure or
show on the most delicate fabric.
White underskirts, where more stiff
ness is desired, should be dipped, after
drying, in a starch prepared as fol-
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-09-08


twenty minutes and iron while wet.
This starch never sticks and it's pol
ish, rustic, and stiffness can be gain
ed by no other method. Skirts so
starched retain their freshness much
longer and are easier to iron.
Dainty woolens and fannels are too
often ruined in washing, but this rule,
given by nurse of long experience,
actually brings them out all the bet
ter for the wetting. For white wool
ems add to six quarts of soft water
one-half bar of Ivory soap cut in
shavings. When the water boils take
out one-half of it and add table
spoonful of powdered borax to the
rest. Pour this boiling hot over the
garments and press and pound them
with a wooden paddle Ga potato mash
er is good) till they are clean. Press
them as dry as possible and put them
into the suds first taken from the boil
err. This will be cool enough to per-
nit using the hands for what further
rubbing may be needed. Use no more
soap, and do not wiring or twist the
garments. Press them as dry as pos
sible, then press between soft, clean
towels. Dry indoors or in the shade;
press on the wrong side with rather
cool iron. Wash colored fiannels the
same way, but use ammonia instead
of boraX. The garments will look like
new. Try it for shawls, knit under
wear, cashmere, etc.
The ironing of fine goods is as inn
portart as the washing. Good irons
are absolutely necessary, and they
should be secured once month. The
board or table should have a thick
cover, table felt or a folded blanket,
and over that a clean sheet. The
irons must be hot, but not scorching
and the work done with intelligent
care. Many fabrics look best ironed
on the wrong side, as all laces and en-
broideries should be.
Black goods should always be iron
ed on black cloth; a square of black
cloth should be kept for the purpose.
Iron sleeves, ruffles and edgings first.
In doing up table linen, iron each
spot very dry before passing the iron
on to other parts; iron quickly and
firmly and cheap goods will have the
finish of attn damask-if washed by
the starch-suds method.
Do not fold table linen, but keep an
old broom handle covered with cotton
flannel on which to roll the large
pieces as they are ironed. Fold nap
kihs in small, neat squares; fancy
shapes are for hotels and public plac-
es. Study to fold all garments neat
ly; French laundries gain half their
patrons by the dainty way they fold
the clothes.
For all articles which are too deli
cate to bear the most careful applica-
ton of water the home worker may
expect perfect success from gasoline.
This liquid is infammable, but there
is no danger if it is used with reason
where there is an open fire or a light
a shady spot out of doors is best.
Common gasoline is best, and the odor
entirely disappears after few hours
