Washina Mohair.

You can launder shepard's plaid mo- hair, if you like and without hurting it in the least There are only two little tricks to be mastered, The first lies in the quality of the soap and the second in the heating of the iron. Get some white soap of a good quality; it which adds crfspness to woolen mater rials. and it will not fade the colors.
 When ironing mohair a very even heat is required; hot irons, while they may not appear to scorch the fabric, crack on the first wearing.
