IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.
u T. q T. ~
st. Louis, Mo.

Not infrequently young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tons for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front. sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron frcn the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each che with a blunt
knife. and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the. shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
