IN A LAUNDRY.
How Soiled Garments Are Handled and
Made to Look Clean.

From the Lewiston Journal
AS soon as a laundry package comes in
it must be opened, the contents counted
and each article marked Every patron Is
given a private mark-some combination
of letters and figures. The clerk then fills
out printed slip with the name and mark
of the customer, the number and kind of
garments sent and the page and line on
which the entry is made in the record
book, SO that it may be easily looked up
should occasion arise. The slip is hung
up before one of the boxes ranged along
the side of the room, like the boxes OF
a post Office a large scale. The gar
ments now ready to be sent Gown into
the Mushroom.
1t is interesting to follow the soiled gar
ments through the different processes that
transform them to this state of crisp
Wilderness. They are first packed into the
big iron washers. Revolving cylinders
serve as washboards, through whose per-
forations the soapsuds splash in showers
of foam. Sometimes a woman superin--
tends this department, but more often 1t
is given over to man, for the work is
heavy and a more unenviable position
than In the close. steamy basement can
hardly be imagined. The process of wash
ing requires between two and three hours.
after which the clothes are packed into
the condenser, and are then sent up to
go through the process of starching.
The opening of the drier enlits a wave
of hot air and discloses rows Of articles
hung before hot steam pipes. There seem
to be machines for everything, for moiSten-
ing the clothes to just the right point, for
drying and smoothing out sheets and such
large articles, which pass between the cyl
inders covered with absorbent material, and
for polishing shirt bosoms and collars.
cuffs and neckbandS of shirts.
The girls must be more or less skilled
in running these polishers. The shirts are
stretched over kind of bosom board and
the hot roller passes over them. The
power Is regulated by the foot. In the
large laundries there are machines for
ironing the bodies of shirts and such plain
garments, but in many this work and In
fact nearly all but the polishing. Is done
by hand The shirts are then carefully
folded and sent out to be sorted
The collars come through the poiishers
perfectly fat and shapeless. A girl passes
them over to the dampener. which danpen5
them along the seam and hands them over
to her companion at the shaper. Under
her guidance they begin to assume the
appearance of collars once more, and she
finishes her work by giving each collar
deft little turn around the horn at
tachment s--.a
At the ironing boards in one room skill
full laundresses are ironing garments of all
forms and sizes. Only one Of long expert
ence is intrusted with the fine tucks. frfliS
and embroideries galore. Some OF the Gus
toners have special rules and regulations
governing their laundry. and such articles
are DESIGNATED by bit of string fastened
in the buttonhofe. The position OF the
string indicates whether 1t is rush work
or whether it is to be extra stin starched.
