A Hint For the Laundry.

Never let the laundress, in her COM
mendable desire to give gloss to table
linen, starch it. To produce high, sat
my polish on damask it should first be
thoroughly dampened and then ironed
with heavy flatiron until it is abso,
lutely dry. Tablecloths and napkins
should never leave the ironing board in
limp condition. If they are at all
moist, they will not only look dull and
lusterless in the beginning, but they
will soon loose the shape and trimness
without which they are untidy and
slovenly looking, says an exchange.
