TIMELY TALKS ON
DOMESTIC TOPICS

One of the hardest phases of Homework
is the laundry. Of course, great many
women do not have to deal with this side
of housekeeping, but a wise housewife
knows every side of household work so
that she may be able to teach and over
see others in the work. There are many
hints which may serve to simplify the
work of the laundress, not only by pro-
ducng better results, but by actually
making the work easier.
Table napkins should be made to look
as nice as possible, for nothing detracts
so much from the appearance Of the dim
ing table as badly ironed linen. If you
have mangling machine, fold Your
napkins double. selvedge to selvedge, and
mangle several at the same time. Then
roll them in a. towel ready to iron.
