re frequently the despair CT the wear
%ers for nothing can make CARMEN
look worse. The general effect O
untidiness and dirt is repelant, an,
sometimes applications of soap, am
monia or gasoline seem only to make
stains. etc., more prominent. This 1.
partly because the cleaning agent ha.
not been adopted to the material
and also because the work is improp.
-erly done.
1t makes no difference whether silk
wool or cotton is to be cleansed, there
must be fresh piece of cloth un.
~deerneath to absorb the soiled Liquid
that soaks through. Otherwise the
scleaning fluid laden with dirt has no
place to go and simply spreads over
sthe original place. Several layers o.
absorbent material underneath are alb
ssolutely necessary, and it is doubtful
IF anything is quite as good for this
purpose as cheese cloth.
Next to this condition il is impor-
tant to spread the soiled place out
on a smooth surface, that the spot
may be watched 10 see that no dirty
ring is forming. A skirt board or
table is best for this, and the absorb
ent and scrupulously fresh cloth be-
meath SHOULD be large enough to move
several times SO that the old wet dirt
may be rubbed in again.
A bit of old white flannel is he
best for wetting and rubbing, and
there should be another with which
to work the place dry, or nearly so.
With care such as this home cleaning
is quite practicable and Saving on
Cd ones income when the processes and
the lQuidS 20 be applied on different
fabrics are understood.
For removing greece snots from
white linen or cotton goods use soap
or weak Ives; for colored calicoes, warn

with a clean Cloth.
When using magnesia the strained

the same process may be tried when #
enoving other kinds of spots. \
MIXTURE OF pure alcohol and salt is
1 great assistance in taking out grease
tains from tailor-made tweed and n

Luold be mixed with the spirit until NJ
