WASHING MADE SCIENCE.
Newcomers Are Not Permitted to
Compete in Madrid.

MADRID, October 4.-The laundry
women Of Madrid are probably the
finest Of their profession in the world
Nowhere else does the linen come
home so delightfully."- clean. and it is
all accomplished with cold water.
Within sight of the windows Of
week. including Sundays, may be seen
acre after acre Of snow-white linen
spread out to dry along the banks Of
the Manxanares. In the turbulent
waters Of this creek. for it is nothing
more in spite of its sonorous name,
virtually all the washing for the mil
lion or so inhabitants of Madrid is done.
A closer corporation than that of
the Madrid washerwomen can scarce
ly be conceived. Some of those work
ing here have been In the profession
over forty years. not always as past
mistress. for they have to serve an
apprenticeship lasting many years
before they are permitted to under
take work on their own account.
A woeful reception meets any new
conner coming with a bundle Of linen
to wash. All kinds Of insults are
hurled at her by the regulars; her
linen disappears as If by magic and
Is found again only after long search.
Any man not an ordinary solied linen
porter Is in even worse case. He is
splashed with suds and Is lucky II
he escapes with his clothing intact.
The experienced laundrywomen as
sert no woman learns how to wash
properly until she has passed forty
years Of age.
