/" As IGNORANT as washerwoman!
n Those words are probably said a
thousand times day. But II the slmile
ever passes out Of the language a Phila-
delphia woman will be deserving Of some
Of the credit for its going.
According to Miss L. Ray Balderston,
laundry work is an art and a science
worthy Of as much consideration and
study as astronomy or chemistry. In
deed after reading her very interesting
little tract, Laundering" recently pub
1ished, one arrives at the conclusion that
in order to be a successful washerwoman
It is essential to be at least fair
chemist.
Ordinarily one would expect to arrive
ct the tubs and suds only by way Of stern
necessity. In the list Of chosen careers
that are annually suggested to aspiring
young maidens standing on the threshold
OF life, one never finds laundry work.
But the washerwoman of the future will
come to you bearing her degree in her
hand. She will be a parsonage, as proud
Of her occupation as any college grad
who ever wore a cap and gown.
Miss Balderston is the instructor Of
laundering at Columbia University. She
knows all about how to wash silks and
satins and calico rags. She knows the
history of washing from the time 1000
years before Christ, when the Egyptians
made OF the Nile River the original wash
tub. down to the present tlme when we
have not only modern laundry appliances
undreamed Of in those days, but a knowl-
edge Of detergents and absolvents which
defy and erase the most obdurate spots.

WASHERWOMAN OF FUTURE
TO HAVE DEGREE, M'LISS SAYS
Course at Columbia Presided Over by Philadel-
phia Woman Who Writes Practical
Book on the Subject

II was woman's vanity, Miss Balder-
ston writes. that was responsible for the
invention Of the art Of starching. Queen
Elizabeth Just couldn't bear her neckwear
all limp and straggly. She liked her ruffs
to stand forth with q regal air OF stiff
ness Dutch woman experimental with
starch and presented her idea to the
Queen. As q result a school was set up
to instruct others in the use Of It. These
became professors Of starching' and
were paid lve pounds for every lesson
they gave the householders. Thus 1t
would seem that the washerwoman, once
a wel-paid factor in the community,
practiclng a recognized calling, is again
to come into her own.
Miss Balderstons little book Is the
most practical that has come to my hand
for some time. Not only is it character
ICED to impress upon us how little Of the
really fine points of washing and ironing
we know. but il is designed to do away
with that ignorance. Not content with
telling you how to get the soil and spots
from everything under the sun, Miss Bal
derston continues with the information as
to the best way Of hanging the wash on
the line and improved methods Of ironing
and folding the garments after they have
been ironed. Moreover, she devotes a
chapter to practical tips on dry cleaning,
and another on the special cleansing of
those difficult, "chiffony" articles that the
average woman looks with despair upon
and consigns to the rag-bag or the pro-
fesslonal rather than attempt to freshen
them herself.
1t is worth the householder's attention,
is this little book. MLISS.
