an easily be bought under the name OF

Should the housewife not care to buy a
bag, one can easily be made from tarlatan,

cloth. A pillow slip is not as advisable
because OF the closeness of the weave and
the preventing Of good washing and good
rinsing.
If bluing is done in the washing ma

ACTUAL TREATMENT IN WASH
ING LINGERIE.

Rubbing fine lingerie is decidedly harm
iftll. Therefore II should be put to soak IN
soft. lukewarm water. This soaking of
fine clothes, not over soied, secures a
lereat part of the cleansing, and is the best
kway 10 prevent the wear from any undue
rubbing.
After the soaking they should be squeezed
from the water (wringing runs the risk OF
stearing), and put in warm water, to which
lsome dissolved white soap has been added.
This dissolved soap may be kept on hand
I'm the form Of Jelly, being made by taking
a bar of good white soap and shaving It In
two quarts of clear cold water. Let this
mixture simmer at a low temperature unit!
lthe soap Is dissolved, when II Is ready for
use It may be used at once. or it may be
put in wide-mouthed Jars. ready for any
time.
II the water Is hard a tablespoonful or
two Of borax might be thoroughly dissolved
Sin cold water before preparing the soap
Jelly Borax does not harm any fne white
fabric, and Il does soften the water as well
sas whiten the garment.
Rubbing should be done by hand, never
ION a washboard. This hand work should be
Ia squeezing. sousng motion, because even
rubbing in the hands may tear the finest
ilaces as we'll as the finest fabrics. II any
soil or discoloration still remains a second
ssoapy application may bring about the
;clear white desired. Rather than TO bleach
with any strong chemical bleach, one can
get great help from wetting the material
land spreading in the sun, repeating the
ydampenlng and the summing until the gar
ement Is white.
One can never tell the true color until
much rinsing has been given so as TO wash
out every trace of soap and dirty water.
Even soaking in clear, cold water does
much toward whitening.
When the garments are clean and have
been thoroughly rinsed they should be
blued If clear, dead white is desired.
sAny lace or any fine embroidery holds the
bluing more than the solid fabric. There
fore the blue water for all fine lingerie
clothes should be much more delicate in
color than for handkerchiefs, table linen,
ftowels or bedding. A blue white is not
