CLEANING CURTAINS.
Neither a Complicated Nor "a Dlncuit
Process.

Neither Complicated Nor Difficult
Process.
Cleaning curtains Is not so formid-
able q task and It - sometimes neces-
sary when the curtains are too much
worn TO be entrusted TO the override
veloped muscles Of the professional.

we're treatment yet by care II Is quite
possible TO have them clean without
running them. The same rules viii
be found to hold good for most other
curtains that one would wash at all.
DUST OUT FIRST.
First of all, as much OF the dust as
possible must be removed. A good
shaking is the first move In this dlrec-
ton. II this does not remove all the
dust the rest must be routed by means
Of a whisk broom, or a fine, soft
brush, according to the texture and
remaining strength Of the curtain.
TO prepare the washing water, boil
four ounces Of soap in a quart of
water until it becomes a jelly. Have
ready two tubs full of hot water, and
to these add the boiled soap. A hand
full Of bran in each tub will prevent the
colors from running.
Do not rub the curtains unless they
are new and very tough; even then It
is far from improving their appear.

fully In the hand, at first one end and
then the other may be carried up and
down, allowing the suds to run freely
through. Then squeeze them gently,
time and again, until they are clean
as possible. Then squeeze out the
water and put them in the clean tub of
water, and go through the same pro-
cess.
Long curtains must, of curse, be
doubled, and, perhaps, doubled again,
in order to be manageable to the av.
erage arm.
The rinsing is important, and there
must be enough waters to remove
every bit of soapy water. The handling
is the same as in the washing, only
there's less of the squeezing and more
of the carrying up and down. AS for
putting blueing in the last rinsing

THE DRYING.

Quite as important as any other de-
tail is the drying. While it may be
much the best to dry either in frames
or pin out on the floor, a careful
worker may put them on a tightly
stretched clothes line. Care must be
taken to pull them gently into proper
squareness as they begin to dry.
