Silks and woods are animal fibers
and when moist are extremely sensi-
tive to intense heat and to all rubbing

shrink from the effect of strong alkali
They should not be soaked and should
be washed in lukewarm water (about

rial. Silk is not so easily affected by
strong alkali as is wool, but its gloss
is destroyed. The garments should be
"soused" up and down and squeezed,
but not rubbed, pulled nor twisted.
Very soiled places, such as cuffs and
collars, may be cleaned by rubbing in
good suds with the palm of the hand.
Silks and woods should be rinsed as
many times as necessary in water of
the same temperature as the wash wa
ter. There is no advantage in adding
soap to the rinse water, as is some
times suggested. White woods and
silks may be blued, but the bluing wa
ter should be of the same temperature
as all the other water used. Woolen
and silk garments may be wrung
through a loosely set wringer, or the
water may be squeezed out, but the
material must not be wrung by twist
ing. SILK may be wrapped in a towel
or heavy cloth before wringing.
Gum arabic Is of special use In re-
dressing silks. If in powdered form,
one or two teaspoonfuls of gum arabic
should be allowed to stand in a quart
of warm water until dissolved, and
then this solution should be strained
for use. If the gum is in lump form,
boiling water should be used and the
mixture kept hot until the gum dis
solves; double boiler may conven-
iently be used for the purpose. A
quarter of a cupful of this solution to
a quart of water gives an average stiff
ness.
Wool will shrink If dried In too hot
place. Neither silks nor woods
should be allowed to freeze, and they
sunburn If put wet in the sun. Silks
of fast dyes should be rolled while wet
in heavy cloth until they are right for
ironing and not hung up to dry.
The irons used on silks and woods
should be medium hot, asIboth these
fabrics sccrch easily and little can be
done to remove the discoloration.
Silks and woods should be covered
with cloth If they are ironed on the
right side, or they may be ironed d.
rectly on the wrong side. Woods iron
more easily while still damp, for any
creases are hard to press out IL al
lowed to dry in. Silks should be rolled
and irOned while still damp parts that
dry out should be ironed through a
dampened cloth, for sprinkling Is likely
to spot silks. A well-ironed silk should
be soft, not crisp and papery. Knitted
and crocheted garments should be
measured before they are washed,
carefully pulled or patted into the orig
inal shape and size while still wet.

How Dust May Be Laid.

brush is kept on the floor most of the
time and not fiirted through the air,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. The dust cloth should
be held in a fairly compact mass, so
that the surface to be cleaned is wiped
or polished and at the same time the
dust Is held by the cloth.
