Mary Rose would have let that

at her. They struck Miss Mac

An Acknowledged Authority on
Al Matters Pertaining to
fHonsehoId Manarement

An Matters Pertaining to
Household Management.
TlHE other day someone ask.
i ed us how to wash feathers.
Our first impulse was to answer,
why wash them? Dust them, use
the vacuum cleaner on them,
hang them in the wind and sun,
for nothing, restores the resili-
ency to feathers like sun and air,
+. take off the casing and wash It,
transferring to new cases the
while, use muslin. slips over the
cases and wash these and you
will seldom have to wash the
cases.
All this information was offer
ed and then suddenly 1t came to
mind that sometimes feathers do
have to be washed and the Job
is a difficult one at best and re-
quires care last feathers be lost
in transit, or broken or massed
in the washing.
If the ticking is not too soiled
wash the feathers in their orig
inal cases. If the ticking is bad
ly soiled there is no use washing
dirt into the feathers, so make as
many slips of heavy cheesecloth
as you have pillows to wash.
These cheesecloth bags should
be slightly longer than the cases
of ticking and one end of tn
case should remain unsewed.
Next run a firm basting stitch
one inch from end to end of each
pillow tick, Then-and not I'M
til then-rip open the end Of the
tick. Basic together firmly the
open end Of the tick and the open
end of one of the cheesecloth
bags, and then-and not until
then-rip open the basting thread
and empty the feathers from the
tick into the cheesecloth bag.
Sew up the bag before you rip
the tick apart from the bag and
you have the feathers safely
caught and fastened.
Now wash the ticking thorough
ly inside and out. Rinse well
wiring, and hang up to dry in the
sun. For the feathers make a
solution of borax and water, using
a tablespoon of borax to each
gallon of water, and use plenty
Of water. Put the cheesecloth
bags Of feathers into this and
souse them up and down until the
feathers seem free from dirt, u.s.
ing a clean water for each bag.

TO WASH FEATHERS
BY Hannah Wing.

Do not rub the feathers, as rub
bing breaks them. Rinse well
and hang in the sun. This Inn
plies that you will choose a sunny,
windy day to wash the pillows,
as sun and wind not only help
to dry the feathers quickly and
prevent them from molding, but
also do much to enliven old
feathers.
When the pillows are thorough
~ dry, put them back into the
clean cases, using the same meth
cd that was used for taking them
out. Be sure to run the strong,
close basting thread across the
ripped end of the tick before sepa-
rating it from the bag again.
The tick then may be closed Sc
curely.
