CARE OF rAstE LINEN.
One Great Mistake That Is Made by
Some Housewives.

II matters not how neatly one NAV
have the table arranged. n the table
linen is not spotlessly white the APP
pearlnce is marred BIZ the defect.
Care must be taken ot fine table linen
or Il soon gets the yellow dip SO
much dreaded ty careful housewives.
Tho first mistake Is made BY throw
ing the tablecioth in the laundry bag
with napkins which are damp. and
they always are when the finger bowls
are used. Each piece should b. dried
and stains removed before placing II
away for washing To properly wash
them they cannot b. made pure and
white II placed In with other clothes.
This IL a warning 10 heed Soak the
linen In tepid water for three-quartsrs
Of an hour. and always wiring the
pieces by hand. for wringer creascs do
not come out at times even under n
heavy hot iron. Next put the clothes
In n good suds, wash carefully and put
in n boiler OF cold water which has
nothing but borax TO soften H. Bring
the water to a boil. give the pieces a
second suds. thea carefully rinse. Two
persons should stretch the long table
cloths and place on a line. hanging
them Perfectly even. In ironing they
must be rather damp. Fold side to side
with one seam only. Iron perfectly dry
until a gloss appears. They must not
be starched since good linen Ia sin
enough when properly ironed. Hang
the pieces over rod where they hang
perfectly straight and allow To dry be-
Tore they are put away. Now would
you know why Il is that some women
have their table linen always looking
new? II Is done in folding the iruned
pieces. Boards such as are used to fold
dress goods on are what you will need.
Cover the pieces with any old muslin
and carefully roll the table cloth on
his. II the sides are too long care
fully fold the edges toward the center.
Put in the linen closet and when ready
for use YOU have 4 new-looking piece
for the table. Do not comb fringe on
pieces, but use a moderately stii
bristle brush for the purpose. In iron
ing monograms lay the right side
down on a Turkish towel and the let
tiers will be beautifully ironed in this
manner. which Is an improvement
over the soft blanket method.
