Simple Methods Of Cleaning laees.

Simple Methods OF Cleaning laees.
Styles for spring, In blouses and
sheer frOcks, show a return to hand
known as "real" lace--and thus distin-
gulshed from machine made laces.
Some machine made laces do not suf-
fer by comparison with the hand made
article and both varieties are worth
caring for. Ordinary laundering Is
out Of the question for them; they
must be handled carefully. Now that
the touch of real lace Is mark Of
style and Of distinction In dress for
spring, valuable heirlOOms will either
have to be sent to the cleaner or
cleaned Mt homo, In order to reappear
In miladys outfit for the new season.
Lace should be soaked before 1t IL
washed. Prepare the water for this
soaking by adding a teaspoonful OF
bOrax to every two cupfuls of boiling
water used. When the sOiled lace has
soaked few hours or overnight In
this water It will wash easily.
Make lather of hot water and any
good soap. Take the lace from the
water In which II has been soaked and
place 1t In the sOapy water, squeezing
1t, as II It were a sponge, until It Is
clean. II the water becomes very dir
ty prepare fresh supply and squeeze
the lace In 1t. Then rinse in clean
cold water until oil the soap Is re-
moved. If after this process the lace
still has grlmy look 1t may be boiled.
TO boil lace put 1t In jar and cover
1t with cold water and pour into this
water n little melted white soap. Stand
the jar In saucepan with water
enough to half cover the jar, put the
lid on the pan and boil for two hours.
Lingerie laces may be ironed by
pressing them under a thin clean mus
lin and finally pulling them out with
the fingers. They must be thoroughly
dried by ironing or they will roughen
up afterward. Ironing will serve for
the heavier and sturdier laces but
some fine and fragile varieties are
washed and dried by the following
process:
Wind the sOiled lace round good
sized bottle, and then cover the bottle
with thin muslin, lacking It on. FIJI
a kettle with cold water, shaving into
1t gOOd-sized piece of white soap
and place the bottle in the kettle, Boil
for an hour. Pour off the soiled water

and add fresh, repeating the process
until the water remains clear. Re-
move the bottle and rinse In several
clear cold waters. Take Off the mus
lin and let the lace dry on the bottle.
II little stiffness In the lace Is de-
sirable, dip II In skinned milk. Then
fold the lace In damp cloth until
ready to pin out.
Lace may be pinned out on IN iron.
Ing board or on Il wooden drum which
Is first covered with cotton wadding
and over that with white muslin. Pin
the lace along Its straight edge, set
ting the pins close together and at
equal distances apart. Then pin out
each picot separately. II the lace
dries before II Is all pinned down,
dampen 1t slightly. Use non.rustable
pins, choosing fine ones for tiny picots
and larger ones for heavier laces.
When lace Is old or fragile, or very

several hours In pure olive oil before
washing.
