REMOVING INK.
from Mrs. P. E. P, Alexandria,
Here is a suggestion for Mrs. D
N: H., Arlington, on how to remove
Ink from her bedspread. If the color
Is fast, 1t ought to work but be sure
to test. Wet the spot with warm
water and then rub with half
lemon dipped In salt. Rinse and re-
peat two or three times, then DIP
the remaining spot in chlorine
bleach either undiluted or in very
strong solution. Rinse Immediately
under the faucet with warm water
Absorb excess moisture with turkish
towel, shake out and dry.
I have used this method on q
crocheted table cover done In q
heavy ecru thread, on a cotton ano
rayon tablecloth (white) with COM
plete success but it is drastic and
should be used with caution on
colors.
RICH is practically the first thing
I read in The Star every day. You

pats on the back as nothing makes
q job more satisfactory than to
