Way to Smooth Out A WrinkIed Frock.
II you have a wrinkled chiffon frock
or blouse, don't be discouraged about
getting 1t smooth again, says Mime
opolis Journal writer. To be sure it is
practically impossible to press it
smooth. But fill bathtub with steam
ing hot water and hold the wrinkled
garment over the steam until steam
has reached every part of 1t. Then
stun the sleeves with paper and hang
the garment on a thickly.padded
hanger Hang 1t before an open fire
or a very hot radiator and keep turn
ing It from time to time SO that 1t
will all become thoroughly dry. The
wrinkles will be invisible when the
gown is drye.
