waists because they use clumsy
irons. TO remedy this manufactur-
ers have put on the market special
ly designed irons. These are point
ed at both ends and also gently
curved to avoid sudden creasing of
the goods. They are heavily nickel
ed and as highly polished as table
silverware. Inclosing each iron and
fastened securely to it by twin bolts
operated by means of spring is
an asbestus lined hood, which serves
to conserve the heat and keep out

HANGING Clothes to Dry.

When hanging clothes to dry, first
hang up by the thickest part, waist
or neckband, etc., because if hung
by the thinner part the water would
run into the thick part, lodge there
and take longer to dry; second,
hang up everything wrong side out,
so that any accidental soil will not
do so much damage as if it appeared
on the right side.
