Blotting paper is not good for re-
moving grease spots. Use thin, brown
wrapping paper or clean butchers
paper; lay it over the goods and set
the hot iron over it. Do not rub the
iron back and forth; hold it still for
an instant then remove and repeat
the operation with a fresh surface of
paper. A grease spot will appear on
the paper when the iron is lifted. De
sure that in applying again this spot
does not get against the fabric and
retransfer itself. Keep using fresh
paper until the hot iron brings away
no more grease, then brush thorough
ly. Drippings from wax candles can
be removed in this way.

spots ano Stains.

Blood stains should be dipped first
in kerosene Gil before the fabric is
washed. Peroxide Of hydrogen is also
useful in removing blood stains. It
may be poured on and the fabric then
rinsed in warm water Fresh blood
stains can often be removed from
delicate fabrics by'wetting immediate
ly in lukewarm water 1t must always
be remembered that Iukewarm water
is water which feels neither hot nor
cold to the hand. Wet the stain and
rub with clean cloth. Put on more
water as needed, and keep rubbing
till the stain disappears. The per-
oxide of hydrogen acts by destroying
the cOloring matter Of the blood.
