Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness. which not only DESTROYS the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
