1t Is difficult to iron between the
buttons on the shirt waist without
breaking them loose or leaving a puck
cred edge. A good plan is to have "a
very thick, narrow pad Of flannel or

side for the buttons to stick into while
you iron the wrong side. then run the
iron once around the outside edge on
the right side.
