Washing Blankets.

Blankets which have been used al win
ter. no matter how white they may look,
are never clean. and should not be put
away for the summer without being wash
ed Many housekeepers satisfy themselves
by shaking and airing their blankets, rath-
er than risk spelling them in washing.
But this is an error, for if the work 10
properly done no shrinking will take place,
and the softness and color may be retain
cd for years. The most necessary thing
in washing blankets is to have plenty Of
soft water and good soap. Inferior soap
is the real cause Of the damage done WOOL
en- goods in washing.
When ready to begin the work shake
the blankets free of dust, fill 4 tub nearly
full of soft hot water. Dissolve third
of a cake of Ivory soap in it. Put in one
blanket at time. Dip up and down and
wash gently, with the hands. Never rub
soap on the blankets, or wash them on
the dashboard. After the blankets are
clean rinse them in warm water until free
of su1s. Add little bluins to the last
water. Shake and sponge them. and hang
on the line until dry; then take down, fold
and pack in a box and set away in cool
room. Blankets thus washed will retain
their original freshness as well as wear
three times as long as if put away soiled
