ed away TO await the coming OF cole
weather.
The modern housewife has learned
the art of taking things much easier
not only because she does most Of her
housework electrically, but because
she divides her tasks rather than do
ing them all at once. With the old
method all the blankets were done
during one week. The modern home
maker, relying upon her electric
washing machine, does her blankets
in relays during the early summer,
whenever the mood is upon her.
The housewife who washes her
blankets electrically has learned sew
eral important facts which We pass on
to our women readers.
i. Temperature of the water for
both washing and rinsing should be
kept medium hot with wool blankets
it is best to have the water just a
above ITO Fahrenheit.
2. Fill the tub up to the water line
and then put in two cupfuls Of soap
jelly or fakes which will mix quickly
with the water.
8. IMPORTANT! Let your machine
run for two or three minutes to whip
up good stiff soap suds.
4. Wash one blanket at a time, II
double; tow, II single. Allow about
fifteen minutes for washing. II blan-
kets are very soiled 1t may take
longer.
s. Above all, blankets should never
be twisted or wrung out hard. You
should therefore always release the
tension Of the rolls before putting the
blanket through the wringef.
6. The rinsins water should always
be as near the temperature Of the
water, a. possible. It is un-
desirable to use clear water for rims
ing. Rinsing water should have some
soap In It Soap serves to conserve
he natural animal oil In your blan-
sets without which they would be
hard and lifelesst Each blanket
should be rinsed two or three times
With a diminishing amount Of soap in
zach water. Blueing is unnecessary
md undesirable.

NOT HOW FEw-BUT HOW Many

The annoyance Of having INSULT
cient outlets for various electric ap
pliances il best illustrated by tn,
story of the woman who, living in ar
apartment that was wired for cleo.
tricity decided to purchase an cleo.
trio sewing machine. When she came
to use the machine, she discovered tt
her dismay that there was no outlet
in the living room for its attachment
meet 1t with the overhead lighting
fixture. Being small in stature, this
meant she had to Climb upon a chair
every time she wanted to sew. This
rather dampened her ardour over an
otherwise perfect electric device.
Eventually, at her own expense she
had several additional outlets in
stalled in the different rooms In her
apartment where electric service
other than lighting could be employed
, and thus was able to enjoy maxi
mum of comfort from her various
electric servants. -.
The home-maker who is in the
course of building can obviate having
to do this later on by. installing plenty
of convenience outlets In the be- in
ming. II this for some reason las
been overlooked then the next Aee
thing is to take care Of that installa-
ton before another summer rolls by.
In the modern home, equipped for
and served by electricity 1t is most
desirable to have two and, in many
cases, three different outlets in, each
room. In the dining room, in order to
do away With unsightlys overhead
cords, CONVENIENCE outlets are essen
tial for the ready use Of the smaller
table appliances. With the arrival OF
the vacuum cleaner the home-maker
learned, through bitter experience |
that here indeed was an kppllance1
that needed a convenience outlet in |
every room in the house. set.ff & .:
Then, in the bedroom, an outlet is !
not only necessary for the VACUUM |
cleaner but smaller appliances such.
as an electric pad, vibrator, curling
iron and so are most unhandy Of use
unless they can be attached to con-
venience outlets, preferably placed
waist htsh.
The bath room calls for the use Of
radiant keater, vibrator, immersion
heater aAd electrified shaving mug
and proper outlets for their 5eonnec-
tions should be provided. tn ! / /
Thereepre it is no longer how few
convenience outlets you can get along
with, but how many you can have in

electrical servants. For new electrical
devices are being perfected daily and
these devices are unhandy, to say the
least, II sufficient number Of con-
venienee outlets are not provided.
