the life of a wool material and also de-
stroys the new nap effect that is pro-
duced by ironing two pieces face to face,

the cloth is as important as any part Of
the work. Do the ironing upon broad
table top, so that the pieces need not be
ironed until finished, and then lay them,
still together, somewhere where they
may lie smooth until absolutely stone
