Caring for NeW Curtains

constructed that the warp
threads slip sideways on the
wool, or filling threads, If there
is any crosSwise strain on the
fabric. For this reason care
should be taken not to stretch
the material while it is wet or
later while ironing or drying it.
F'ilet, net and lace curtains
lose their shape when wet and
also are quite fragile. They
should be handled very care
fully, and are best dried upon
curtain frames.
Colored or figured curtain
materials are subject to blur
ring and fading in the wash.
They should, therefore, be
tested out before an attempt
is made to launder them. II
cool or cold water does not
cause blurring or fading, they
may be washed safely if the
temperature Of the water, used
in the process, does not exceed
80 degrees f., IL the SudS used
is made from a good neutral
soap, and if they are washed
quickly. After thorough rinsing
they should be hung to dry in
a shady and preferably windy
place so that no two surfaces
. come in contact with each
other. While still a little
damp they should be ironed
on the wrong side.
The soil In curtains Is
usually dust and SCOT or smoke,
which may be held in the
fabric by starch or moisture or
oily substances. The action of
sunlight and moisture upon
this type of soil not only ten
ders the fabric by burning or
slightly carbonizing the fiber.
but often results in q brown
ish yellow stain which Is very
tenacious.
Before being washed, cur.
tains should be freed from as
much dirt as possible by gentle
brushing and shaking.

use, for I have heard it said
many, many times, but it runs

you. II it is al right, what

Yes, this is a pleasant, warm

If the introduction has been Of
a very, casual nature, there is
usually not much point of say
ing this. In other words, 1t
should not always be said after
an introduction. Ideally, it
should not be said unless we
mean it. But, IL we do, 1t is a
charming thing to say if we can
do so sincerely. There are vari-
atoms of this amiable state
ment, IT am so happy to have
