Slowly he disrobed, placed his
bloomers on a convenient chair, did up
his whiskers and prepared to retire for
the night. The final duties accom-
plished, he bent fearfuly down and
peered under the bed. Then, with a
sigh OF relief, he arose from his un-
comfortable posture.

SUMMER CARE OF BLANKEra

Blankets which have been used all win
ter, no matter how white, are never clean,
and should be washed before putting away.
Many housekeepers satisfy themselves by
shaking and airing their blankets rather
than risk spelling them in washing. But
this Is q mistake, for IL the work is prop
erly done no shrinking will take place, and
the neecy soft appearance may be retained,
rs well the color, for years. The necessary
thing in washing blankets is to have plenty
OF soft water and good pure soap. Inferior
soap Is really the cause Of the damage
done wooden goods in washing. 1t hardens
the hbre and yellows the fabric. When
ready to begin the work shake the blan-
kets free Of dust, ill a tub half full OF hot
water. Dissolve q third OF q cske of Ivory
Soap in il. Put one blanket in at q time.
Dip up and down and wash gently with
the hands. Never rub soap on blankets,
or wash them on the washboard. After
the blankets are clean, rinse in warm water
until free of suds. Add little blueing to
the last water. Shake and squeeze; then
hang on the line until dry. Take down,
fold, lay under q weight for q day or two,
and pack securely in q box and cover.
Blankets thus washed will retain their
original freshness as well rs wear three
