Good blankets are light but
are natural insulators, protect
ing the body from change of

color is another attribute Of the
quality blanket. Heavy, dark
dyes can of course hide cheap

permanent.
In good blankets. colors are
guaranteed fast. Keen shoppers
insist that blankets be woven
so that their size is the same
after correct laundering. Fine
blankets are all woven oversize,
the fabric webs being actually
one-quarter to one-half larger
than the finished size.
When such attributes are part
of a blanket. the shopper can
buy in complete confidence that
her purchase will give years OF
satisfactory wear.

FINE BLANKETS are az
once, a necessity, a luxury and
a long-term investment. They
deserve the best of care. includ-
t ifftiss blanket covers to keep them
clean and oolorful.
Laundering blankets can be
done at home successfully. This
is the procedure. Wash each
blanket separately, using plenty
of soft water and a soap that IS
free from alkali or caustic.
A neutral soap fake is best.
Water should be heated TO
body temperature and should
never be hot. The soap should
be thoroughly dissolved before
immersing the blanket.
Never Rub Blankets
Carefully squeeze the water
through the blanket repeatedly
No matter how soiled or grimy
the blanket may be, do not rub.
And do not wash longer than
from three to five minutes.
Rinse repeatedly and thor
oughly in soft water of the same
temperature. removing every
trace Of soap before starting TO
dry the blankets. Squeeze by
hand to remove all surplus
water. or run il through a
wringer loosely adjusted to re-
ceive the blanket without fore
ing il through the rollers.
Hang the blanket over a line
lengthwise with ends down and
weight evenly distributed. Never
hang in a dryer and always
avoid intense heat. Carefully
pull the blanket in shape while
drying. When the blanket is
thoroughly dry, raise the nap by
brushing gently with a soft
brush or whisk broom.
How TO Buy
When out shopping for
blankets. as many brides will be
doing this Spring, choose
branded goods whenever posi-
bic. Fine, springy virgin wool
