There is an Art in Giving 1t Luster and
Brilliance

There is more in ironing table linen
than has been dreamed of in many
housewives philosophy. There is no
reason why table linen of even a
coarse quality should not have n gls-
ten and shine that is the peculiar prop
erty of all properly ironed linen.
We see cheap table cloths starched
to give them body" but if the starch
was avoided and the linen properly
Numbered and used with silence cloth
beneath it,, it would look far better.
We cannot deceive folks into thinking
n coarse table cloth is of the finest
damaSk texture, but we can have Il
common cloth look as we'll if properly
ironed as one far more costly improp-
erly Numbered
Linens by good rights should be
dried only enough TO make 1t possible
TO iron it well. 1t is we'll nigh impossi-
bic to iron out wrinkles that have once
dried in; even with good sprinkling
this is n difficult task to do. as any
one may know who has tried it. After
the linen is washed and rinsed UNI
til quite clean, then let it hang in the
sun if possible until just dry enough
to iron nicely. Have the iron hot: a
lukewarm iron will not do Fold the
cloth lengthwise If at all. for the first
PRESSING press hard and iron smoothly
until the linen is quite dry; unless it
is perfectly dry it will not have that
lustre and brilliance that all well
irOned linen has. Fold the cloth length
wise until it is narrow enough to suit
the taste, and then crosswise folding
is allowable
The only points to be observed are
these: Iron the linen before it is dry
and iron it until it is perfectly dry
This will insure perfect work.
Avoid starch in linen as you would
upon silk or such fabrics. 1t is entire
ly out of place
Table linen should be ironed in the
same way rs table cloths. and all
fancy foldings avoided. Sometimes in
hotels fancy foldings are used. but for
the home table let the napkins be
folded in plain squares and be ironed
50 perfectly that their gloss will be an
attractive feature of the table decora-
tions
Hot irons and clean, with n good
ironing board or table, covered with n
folded blanket tackled firmly in place,
linen not too dry. and n good strong
pressure. are the main things needed
in ironing table linen, and there is no
reason why the home table should not
look as well every day as far as these
points go as when it is set for "com-
