WASHING wooLENs

One Of the properties OF wool which
makes It valuable as textile fiber
also makes wooden cloth difficult to
launder. This ID the property Of felt
ing or shrinking. Wool has short
fber. or staple, as It is technically
called. This fiber is covered with NIL
mute scales. and under certain condi-
lions Of heat, moisture and pressure
these tiny scales are locked together
and the fabric. is shrunk. II wool did
not possess this felting quality, Il
would be impossible to spin the short
fbers into yarn, and what is our most
valuable fiber would be practically
worthless.
Because heat, moisture and pressure
cause wool to shrink and because all
three Of these enter into the Iaunder-
Ing process 1t is necessary to give them
due consideration. a
First, the temperature Of the water
in which blankets or other woolens
are washed must never be high, never
more than tepid. Not only Is, wool
shrunk by high temperature but by
change in temperature as well. This
means that the rinse water must be
neither hotter nor colder than the
wash water, and 1t also means that
woolens should not be dried by, the
stove or over the radiator, MOI. should
they be hung out in the freezing
weather. Therefore, IN so far az pos
sible keep the washing, rinsing and
drying temperatures equal
Second, pressure applied. when the
woolens are wet, causes a locking Of
the scales or shrinking. In other
words do not rub nor wiring blankets
The following has been found very
satisfactory way of washing them:
Dissolve one bar Of good laundry
soap or the equivalent Of soap flakes
may be used. Add four tablespoon
fuls Of borax and a half-cupful of
household ammonia. This is sufficient
for washing one pair Of blankets.
Put this solution in enough water,
lukewarm, to cover the articles to be
washed and allow them to remain in
the water several hours. 1t is some
times convenient to put the blankets
to soak over night. They may then
be rinsed In the morning and be put
to dry during the day.
II there are resistant dirty spots,
rub them gently with the hands.
Never, under any circumstances. use
a washboard.
The same amounts Of borax and
ammonia should be added to the rinse
water and the blankets are left In this
for two or three hours.
Drain of the water, or gently
squeeze out as much as possible.
Hang up the blankets without wiring
ing in some place where they may
drip.
Not only does heat cause wool to
shrink, but it causes it to become yell
low and board-like.
Baby flannels, which must be
washed almost daily, are especially
apt to be yellowed and shrunken, and
particularly so when they are dried
hurriedly before the open oven door
or over the radiator, as they 80 fire.
quently are.
The life Of the garment is length
ened and the appearance is main
tanned if the factors which affect it in
laundering are borne in mind and
these simple rules observed.

The clerk shook his head.

fessed.
Francis plunged into his work and
forgot all about the matter. He was
reminded Of it, however, at luncheon
time, when, on entering the dining
room Of the club, he saw Andrew Will
more seated alone at one Of the small
tables near the wall. He went over

"Hullo, Andrew he greeted him,
''what are you doing here by your

''Bit hipped, old fellow" was the
depressed reply. "Sit down, will your"
Francis sat down and ordered his
lunch.
"By-the-bye," he said, Il had rather
a mysterious visit this morning from
your brother Reggie"
Wilmore stared at him for a mo-
ment, half in relief, half in amaze
ment.
"Good God, Francis. you don't say
sol" he exclaimed. "How was ne?
What did he want? Tell me about 1t

about the boy"

you know, don't live there-waited
some time, began to write this note"
drawing the sheet Of paper from his
pocket-"and when I got there had
disappeared without leaving a mes
sage or anything"
Wilmore adjusted his pince nez
with trembling fingers. Then he read
the few lines through.
Francis he said, when he had fin
ished them, 'do you know that this is
the first word we've heard of him for
three days?"
"Great heavens !" Francis ex-
claimed. "He was living with his
mother, wasn't he?"
"Down at Kensington, but he hasn't
been there since Monday" Andrew re-
piled. His mother is in terrible
state. And now this, don't under

"Was the boy hard up?"
"Not more than most young fellows
are" was the puzzled reply. His al
lowance was due In few days, too.
He had money in the bank, feel
sure. He was saving up, for motor

Haven't seen him once or twice
at restaurants lately" Francis in
quired. "Soto's. for instance?"
"very likely" his brother assented.
"Why not? He's fond of dancing,
and we none of us ever encouraged
him to be stay-at-home."
ANY particular girl he was inter-
ested in?"
"Not that we know of. Like most
young fellows of his age. he was
rather keen on young women with
some connection with the stage, but I
don't believe there was any one in
particular. Reggie was too. fond of
games to waste much time that way.
He's at the gymnasium three evenings

observed. II tell you what. Andrew. I
