A GOOD TIP!
LAUNDER FOUNDATIONS FREQUENTLY. “I am shocked almost daily by women’s carelessness about their girdles,” said Anna Grierson, noted London corsetiere. “I have seen Avomen Avho are exquisite in every other Avay, wear girdles positively grey Avith grime.” And that’s the hitter truth too. It has been estimated that only five out of every ton women wash their girdles. Why don’t women realise that girdles and foundations Avorn next to the skin—and I hope they all are —are constantly absorbing perspiration Avhich in time Avill perish the elastic fibres. And just as' you constantly launder your undies to keep them SAveet and fresh so you must launder your corsets. All the modern corsets are washable —-yes, even those ...adorable lace and rich satin ones—so don’t be afraid to gi\’e them a frequent rinse. And when you do rinse them use only the purest form of soap available—caustics only rot the living elastic fibres—and don’t use hot Water. Let them soak for a while in a basin of luke-Avarm Avatcr and soap flakes and very little scrubbing will be necessary. A filial tip—have two of each type of corset you possess. Besides being A'ory beneficial to the resilience of the garment you Avill always have a. fresh girdle to wear Avhile the other’s being laundered.
