DIAPERS.
(Fron, Mrs. S. A. W., Washington. J
To Mrs. J. H.. Arlington, in re-
CARDS to which type of diapers to
use: I am sure you will find the
gauze diaper with the birds-eye
weave Is just what you are looking
for. The brand name starts with
G and ends with x.
I also found that just gauze
diapers offered little protection
The bird's-eye diaper is too hard
stiff and small. The flannelette
diaper is too long in drying. But
the diaper mentioned above Is a
good size, soaks up all moisture, is
soft and fluffy and takes little time
in drying. I'm sure you won't be
disappointed.
From Mrs. K. S. T., Arlington.)
To Mrs. ]. H.. Arlington: Re dia-
pers. Have used both bird's-eye and
flannel diapers and much prefer
the birds-eye. The flannel diapers
are soft, but not as durable. They
soon wear thin. I, too. had the
same trouble with diapers drying
hard and stiff until I tried read
er's tip recently given. I used about
Il cup vinegar in the next to last
rinse water and it works!
From Mrs. I. P. NJ, ArlingtonJ
To Mrs. j. H, Arlington: In ask
ing which diapers to use, have had
five children and used all kinds OF
diapers. I prefer fannelette ones,
a medium weight. They wear well,
wash well and always soft. I used
ird's-eye gauze as you said. but l
do like fannelette best of all from
experience.
STEAM IRON.
AFRICAN VIOLET.
From Mrs. r. X. o., Washington
have had success with the steam
and dry iron combination, but a
good iron Of this kind should rhyme
with democratic" We paid 1896
for our iron at a large F street de-
partment store. Be sure and follow
directions exactly. After you have
used the iron and it is still quite
hot and needs more water when
you pour some in it will sputter and
squirt out tall makes do this, but
the hotter your water is the less
squirting it will do.
If you raise African violets. I
should be glad to exchange leaves
with you. I have II varieties.
WASHING BLANKETS.
From Mrs. J. L. j., WdShington.)
In answer to Mrs. P. c. M, Ha-
gerstown, question regarding wash
ing wool blankets in an automatic
washer, would like to advise that
I successfully washed my wool blan-
kets in an automatic washer. Be
sure the water is warm, not hot, and
don't overload your washer. After
washing blankets I then hang them
on line outside in sun and when dry
they were soft and fluffy as usual.
