1t need not be such hard task
TO launder the lace curtains as it
sometimes seems. They should be
washed with care to avoid tearing
and then starched rather stiff. To
dry pin them on the clotheshne,
full length. Fasten each scallop
with a clothespin, taking care to
keep them in the proper shape,
smooth out nicely and leave to dry.
When they are dry lay a damp cloth
over the edge that has been pinne
to the line and press with a hot
iron. This IS all the ironing that
they will need.
