SHORT HOUSEHOLD CHATS.
To Tighten Laundry Work-Good Summer
Dishes

Washing day is justly dreaded in the heat of
summer. when all work is g double burden to the
hesn. Anything that lightens the work is there
fore especially welcome. but though the tools of
to-day are superior to those of our grandmother's
modern invention has done comparatively little to
Hghten the labors Of the laundry In spite of the
cost OF washing machines and the representations
OF their agents, perforated zinc rubbing board is
stil the most useful tool that good Iaundress can
command.
one Of the most important parts of washing is
the asserting OF the clothes There are many
STAINS which, like those Of perspiration, disappear
nag1caIly with a little cold water and soap. and
others like fruit and coffee, which must be treated
with boiling water, but are permanently set by
lukewarm water. If II is the practice of the family
to soak all the clothes in cold water before the
washing has begun, great many stains will be
permanently set; but If the kinds stains
are carefully sorted out and properly treated hours
of rubbing will be saved
A housekeeper whose clothes always look as
white as the driven snow says that II Is best to
soak coarse clothes In cold water. but the table
linens and fine clothes need not be so treated The
same housekeeper says that soon as she has re-
moved the stains from her clothes she puts them in
