King Edward Said to DIsapprove OF *

If rumors are true, the English young

ders to rejoice in the present reign with
its glitter and gayety, comments the New
York Sun.
For several seasons past there has been
complaint that the English lnGenue was

enlancipated. It was said that the reign

Ho1v TO Launder Dainty Fabrics

In washing nice colored garments there
are four things to be avoided, hard rub
bling, strong soap, hot wafer and hot
starch, and very dainty fabrics should be
washed in bran-water without any soap
whatever. Put the bran in a muslin bag
and pour hot water over this; when the
water is nearly cold. take out the bran
bag and wash your pieces quickly, rinsing
them afterwards in clear, cold water.

1t is nearly as essential to hang out
things properly as to wash them well.

that the weight while wet may come upon

and colored ones in the shade. The great
point to bear in mind Is to wash. rinse
