Ironing PLaits

Since the tailored waists with the fine
knife plating around the collar, cuffs
and down the front have been in vogue
it has been quite a problem to keep
the frills in plnits during the launder-
ing. Unless the plats are deeply and
securely caught it is almost hopeless.
1t will help little. however. If before
ironing waist with this type Of plait.
ing you go over it with n damp cloth.
brushing the plaits from the top to the
edge, strengthening them at the same
time. Then. when you iron them. start
from the side where they are plated
and press TO the edge. If the fril Is
on collar or cuff do the frill after you
have finished the collar or cuff. A trick
in ironing the double knife plating on
the front of blouse is to place it near
the edge of the ironing board. so that
the plating on one side stands ND
straight and NAV be pressed back on the
board while that on the other side Of
the band is down and out Of the way.
Then reverse the blouse and press the
other frill in the same way.-Good
Housekeeping.

An Answer to "KensIneton's" she"

Another Poem From "Kensington"
Dear cynthia
REVERIE
Mysterv. know not why,
Seems 70 drip from frownng skies.
Failing upoH US living few.
COyly Ike the morning dew
Then the dawn. and listen. nrk,
lend an ear TO wisdOm's lark.
Sunshine bright dispcls the nigh, of a
stormy mental sight.
Laughing now. SEQ the skies
'TiS nothing new that | and you,
l know not why, are mystery.
I[ENSINGTON.
