To Remove Dye Stains from
Linens
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Will you please publish in the Eve
ming Star what will take stains out
of white linen? ! was putting my
clothes to soak and among them was
a colored sock which ! did no see
and the coloring came out IN the
clothes. I tried everything, but could
not get it out, so I write to you, as l
am a steady reader of the Evening
Star. WORRIED.
Javelle water will take the dye
stains out of your white linens. Have
ready three vessels, the first contain
ing javelle water, the second clear
water to which ammonia has been
added in the proportion of one table
spoonful of ammonia to two quarts
of water, the third. clear water. Put
the articles in the first vessel, remove
them quickly and rinse them thor
oughly, first in the second vessel, then
In the third. Unless the linens are
removed quickly from the javelle wa
ted and rinsed thoroughly the fabric
will be apt to be affected.

To Clean White Felt Hat
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear MISS Doom:
Will you be kind enough to tell me
how ] can clean a white felt hat; also
take the spots out of an old rose serge
skirt without discoloring 1t? f. M.
First-Brush the hat thoroughly to
remove as much dust as possible, then
rub into the felt a powder composed
of equal parts of pipe clay and oat-
meal. Let this stay On for a few
hours, then brush the hat thoroughly.
If the result Is not satisfactory re-
peat the operation. Heated flour
rubbed into the hat, brushed off and
then followed by another application
of the flour. which is allowed to re-
main on for twenty-four hours, will
also prove a satisfactory method of
cleaning.
The remedy for the spots on your
old rose skirt depends largely upon
their cause. Perhaps they will yield
to chloroform. Be sure to put several
layers of clean cheesecloth under the
spots, to rub lightly and quickly, be-
ginning at the outer rim, and to rub
dry with a clean cloth.
