Stand Washing.

A cloth of plain weave shows soil
quickly, but if it is firmly woven it
stands rubbing well and the dirt is
easily removed by washing. On the
other hand, a loosely woven plain cloth
must not be rubbed hard and must be
carefully handled in drying so that
the threads will not be pulled out of
place.
A twilled cloth does not show soil as
readily as plain, but it seems to hold
the dirt more tenaciously. Materials
of satin weaves do not stand friction
as well as those of plain weave.
Fancy, part gauze and part solid
goods of the so-called lenO weave not
only stand very little friction, hut
when washed must be carefully pulled
and stretched while drying to have the
goods keep its original shape and size.
Loosely woven materials of all kinds
have greater absorption powers than
the closely woven varieties; this means
less bluing for the loosely woven goods.
These are suggestions made by home
economics experts in the department
of agriculture.
