The majority Of them also have an air

HOW TO WASH AND
IRON SHIRT WAISTS

Gle, if the water looks dirty, as is often
the case with dark prints, it must be
changed over and over again until the
water is perfectly clear.
If salt and water are not curative in
their effects, try vinegar and water for
the final rinsing, using the vinegar in
the proportion of three tablespoonfuls
to one gallon of water. This treatment
will be found good for blues, pinks,
greens and reds as it helps to brighten
the colors. When washing and rinsing
are finished, the articles are folded
evenly and. put once or twice through
the wringer, shaken out and starched
in hot water starch.
It is the fad at present to wear the
shirt waists soft. but if the material is
not thick it is apt to get stringy and
bedraggled in appearance, which de-
feats the crisp smartness so necessary
to the well being of a waist. In most
cases little starch will be found an
improvement. Therefore when the shirt
has been wrung out of the rinsfng wa
ter put it through some thin, hot
starch. wiring it again and hang up to
dry The drying is better done in the
house if the colors are light and the
sun outside is bright. Before ironing
the collars and cuffs will require re-
stiffening in cold starch When the
~ together, wet the sleeves Just above
them with cold water to prevent the
starch from spreading where it is not
wanted and dip the cuffs into this cold
starch. Spread the shirt out on ia
bic, sprinkle lightly the dry parts, then
wrap it up in dry towel and let it lie
for at least an hour before ironing. Do
not let it get too dry, or it will not iron
well.
The ironing of a shirt waist is diff
cult even to the expert. and when
novice begins work on this useful lit
tie article of apparel the task is almost
discouraging. Practice and a knowl-
edge of the correct manner of handling
the troublesome waist soon make the
task easy.
When the shirt waist is ready to iron
turn it on the right side, stretch out the
collar and iron it first on the wrong
side, then on the right until quite dry.
If there is a yoke iron it on both sides,
placing it on the table so it will lie

made with a dainty hchu and the skirt
is finished with a pretty sash with long
ends. a costume is evolved which is at
tractive, cheap and artistic
This, however. is not the picture gown
par excellence, which for evening wear
is usually of the empire style. Our
present modes are certainly made up of
many periods. There are the Victorian
skirt, the Tudor sleeve, directoire coat,
japanese and Russian influence dis
tinctly evident and the still smart mil
itary effect. Gilt buttons are used on
linen frocks, and lace is applied on ev-
cry variety of gown fiat as chevrons.
With all these incongruities the en-
sembles are charming in most exam
pies when adapted to the individual
and the particular style of the gown.
One thing is certain-our summer

two or three white costumes, whether
of tailor made severity or expensive
elaboration. A gown of white hopsack

~ INCE summer shirt waists and

Jects of financial consideration
it behooves the thrifty housewife to
find out the best way of treating them
when they have fallen from their lofty
state of pristine freshness. Elaborate
lace trimmed lawns and batistes are
only reinstated in favor by trip to
the cleaners, but the prints, dimities
muslins and linens which are worn so
much find their regeneration generally
in the home laundry. That this process
is not a success is attested by the many
faded and leopard spotted gowns and
waists which come from the tubs. This
misfortune may be obviated with a lit
tie careful attention, especially when
they are being laundered for the first
time and the color has not been tested
The stability of the color depends
very much upon the quality of the ma
terial the cheaper prints being most
susceptible to a change of faith. 1t is
wise to take every care with the first
immersion, and if the colors stand the
test well some of the precautions may
be omitted in future washings. First
soak the shirt waist or gown in cold
water to which has been added a hand
full of salt, and leave them in this So
luton for an hour. Stfffened shirts or
gowns take longer to soak on account
of the starch in them. In another tub
have ready a lather made of melted
soap like the kind one uses for fannels.
Be sure that neither soda nor baking
powder is in the water. Wiring the ar
ticles out of the soaking water one at
a time and wash them in the prepared
suds. Squeeze well between the hands,
working them up and down in the wa
ter. Should the material be substantial
it may be safely rubbed, but for sheer
muslins this process is not safe. Spe-
cial attention must be paid to wrist
bands and collars. which usually are
the points specially sought out by the
microbes of dirt.
Turn the blouse or frOck wrong side
out and repeat the process of washing
in another water, if necessary, until the
article is quite clean. Rinse first in
tepid water until every particle of soap
has been removed and then in cold
sailed water. If the color is found to
be running it should be taken out OF
the soapy water as soon as the dirt has
been removed. When rinsing an arti-

and fatty as possible put the iron into
the gathers, working from right to left,
holding the waist with the left hand.
Do not lift the iron more than neces-
sary and avoid making creases. Place
the shirt on the table with the neck at
the left side and begin to iron the front
next to you, running the flatiTon well
up into the gathers at the neck. Next
take the back and then the other front,
smoothing out the gathers as you go
along, gradually drawing the shirt to-
ward you as it is finished. The hens
and tabs and the binding around the
armholes are ironed on the wrong side.

you can, but not quite to the edge at
the other side, as this would make
crease down the center of the sleeve.
Turn the sleeve over, ironing it in the
same way on the other side, dampening
when necessary. Separate the two
sides and carefully arrange the sleeve
so that you can iron the rough part
down the center.
There only remains now the top to be
done, and this is best ironed from the
inside with a small moderately hot iron.

some persons get better results when
a sleeve iron is used; but. once the art
has been acquired with an ordinary
iron, the process is quicker. If there is
a frill down the front of the shirt waist
it should be ironed before the body
part. The collar and cuffs. if desired,
may be polished with a polishing iron,
and when the little creases which come

of the article when worn. A neckband
folded into the wrong shape makes a
collar hard to put on, and a humpy
crease across the sleeve or back is any
thing but an Improvement
To fold the shirt, according to an ex-
perts advice, first pin the two ends of
the collar together. The fronts should
be laid in plaits to make them the same
width of the back, and then they should
be pressed. Turn the shirt over with
the fronts downward, lay the sleeves
along the side, fold them upward again
so as to show the cuffs above the neck
and pin them in position. Turn over
the sides by seams, making them meet
in the center of the back, and pin to-
gether. Double up a small piece at the
bottom of the waist, and the process is
completed. The folding must be done
very loosely and without creasing.
