Good table linen, in the first place,
means much. But care of the same
linen means more. Especially in the
laundry must your table linen be prop
erly handled If you would have It
retain it's freshness.
Strong beaches must never be used
on fine table linen. Of course. table
linen is often badly spotted and needs
to be cleaned in some way. But boil
ing water removes coffee spots, cold
water removes cocoa spots, and sun
shine removes many stains. When
stronger agents must be used, they
should be applied and removed by in
telligent hands.
They should be allowed to remain
on the spots just long enough to eradi-
cate them, ard then rinsed thoroughly
out with clear water. For If they re-
main on too long they remove not only
spots, but pieces Of linen.
Some old-fashioned housewives occa-
sionally have their table linen dipped
in buttermilk to whiten it. The linen
is allowed to remain in the buttermilk
for day or two, if necessary, and is
then thoroughly rinsed in cool, clear
water, later in warmer water.
For fruit stains, pour boiling water
through them while the stains are
damp, if possible. If they dry on, rub
them with lard and put through the
usual washing process.
Always dry table linen out-of-doors.

little bleaching green.
Table linen must be quite damp

ironed until it is perfectly dry. Nap

and tablecloth should be ironed in
the same way, to give it the best finish
