Every one has heard Of the German
and Dutch method Of accommodating
soiled clothes and Of having wash

the custom was brought over to this
country from Holland and that the
Dutch settlers long continued its prac-
tice. In these days Of the ever ready

washinss was maintained notwith-
standing our summer heats and the
immense quantities Of clothes neces-
sary to keep mp the state OF cleanli-
ness required BY Dutch instincts. A
New Englander who had married Q
citizen Of New York writes In 1760
Of this practice. which was undoubted-
