HOW TO CLEAN FANCY SILKS
Wash in Lukewarm Water With Good
Soap and Instead Of Rubbing
Scrub With Brush.

The best way to clean pongee, tus-
sab and novelty silks is to wash them
in lukewarm water with good soap.
Instead Of rubbing between the
hands or on a board. material of this
sort should be scrubbed VITA brush
and it will need rinsing in at least
three waters.
The greatest danger in handling ma
terial of this kind is In using water
which Is too hot, for very hot water
causes heat wrinkles which will not
disappear even under the iron.
Oil Stains.-Stains made by machine
oil or any Of the ordinary oils can be
removed with carbon tetrachloride.
Oil Paints.-A mixture OF carbon
tetrachloride and chioroform in equal
parts will remove oil paint marks.
Nickel.-Stains and marks on nickel
can be removed by rubbing them with
