NET CURTAINS.
Short lace or net curtains are inclined to shrink the first time they are washed, and unless this shrinkage has been allowed for in the making, the results are often obvious. When new curtains arc washed for the first time, it is a good plan to measure them before starting. Then when the curtains are washed pin them carefully to these measurements on to a sheet of brown paper. Place the paper over the line for the curtains to dry, and it will be found that besides avoiding shrinkage the curtains have kept a good t«hape and do not require ironing.
Finger marks on painted doors may be removed by rubbing with a clean clolh dipped in a little paraffin. The place should be afterwards washed over with a cloth wrung out of hot water, and finally polished with a dry duster.
