OF INTEREST 70 WOMEN


A woman can save herself much
trouble If she will but observe a few
rules when hanging up her laundry
to dry. Lingerie dresses and blous-
es will all be ironed more easily If
they are placed on coat hangers on
the line. 1t is very important that
the hangers be well covered up Sc
that the clothes will not be rusted.
Skirts should be carefully hung
to avoid the hem from hanging in
points. Clip your skirt to the clothes
line by the band, catching the front
and the back OF the belt together.
One woman found 1t saving of time
to put all handkerchiefs into a bag,
hanging the bag on the line. 1t re-
quircd longer time to dry the little
articles in this way; but the fact did
not hinder her, because she had
numerous other things to do during
the drying process,
The bag idea is good one to fol-
low when washing a sweater or other
wooden articles. BY placing the
things In the bag or pillow case the
weight Of the water and the clothes
pins will not have an opportunity to
pull the articles out of shape.
