How to Wash Table Silver
Mrs. Fred whitney, 2 Fifth Street,
PAfalTma

Silver knives, forks and spoons are
worn out and scratched more in the
washing than in their use. I bought a
child's wooden pail, had a carpenter
put cross pieces in it, dividing it into
four compartments, one for knives,
the second for forks. the third for
tablespoons and the fourth for tea
spoons. Make some hot soapy water
and pour into pail. After gathering
silver from table put them each in their
own part of pail, leaving until ready
to wash, then washing each lot sepa-
rately In this way they need less
cleaning and are not scratched.
