Some Laundry Hints

~~ANG up clothes by the thicker
n part, waist or neckberds, etc. If
- hung by the thinner part the
water will run into the thicker part,
lodge thore. and tase longer to dry.
Hang up everything wrong side out
SO that any accidental soiling VIII not
do as much damage as though IL APP
peared on the right side.
Many people have been annoyed at
finding their irons quite rusty AFTER
they have been put aside for rev
days. One of the best ways TO pre-
vent this is, before you put them away
10 ,ut little warm grease over them
and then wrap them up in brown
paper. In taking them out to use, DIP
into hot water that has had a small
piece of soda dissolved into 1t. rub
hing and then putting them on the
stove to heat in the usual way.
When they are ready TO be used on
the ironing board, have a piece or
brown paper with a little powdered
bath brick on it and rub the surface
of the ron with this. 1t seems
lengthy process, but il really does not
take log, apd housewives will be re-
warded for the trouble they take. The
irons Will be delightfully."- smooth and
easy 60 use. and when they are like
this the ironing can be done twice as
quickly.
In folding clothes for ironing, each
article should always be folded length
wise, as the thread that runs in that
direction is always the strongest in
tine cloth. These threads go around
sthe loom, while the wool, which goes
sto and fro over and under the long
threads, is not so strong, so that
ironing crosswise will not only draw
the article out of shape, but will cause
it to wear more quickly. This should
be especially watched in ironing table
Aand bed linens.

She walked with free, swinging

case. a silence fell upon the group

Or Should II be a modern one-a sane

Mr.. Meekton--he of the imperious,

was in vogue when he was boy. lie
argued at great length, and with feel-
ing, too, that the youth OF the
country were becoming effeminate =
and that il they couldn't express their
patriotism on the Fourth OF July when,
in heavens name, could they do Il?
Such practices, he argued, tended 10
destroy all patriotism and make VI
the race a namby-pamby breed.
With equal warmth-and no little
irony-Mr. Groucher declared that Mr..
Meekton was the last man in the
house to be looked up as an autho'i-
ty on patriotism-since he hadn {
spank enough even 10 declare a Dec
.a...ti of independence against t4e
lot osing of his own wife. Which shot
evidently hit the mark, for despite
Mrs. Meekton's querufous insistence
and chagrin at anyone daring to OPP
pose her, Groucher and his adherents
carried the day.
So it was decided that the celebra-
ton should be a safe and sane one.
