CARE OF YOUR HANKIE
Handkerchiefs are such flimsy, dainty affairs nowadays that great care and attention has to be paid to their washing. Here is the way Hama Fashion cleanses them:—First they are soaked in clear lukewarm water for about half an hour, then they are carefully rinsed. _ Next, a quantity of bonx is dissoh'ed in a bowl of warm water, and the handkerchiefs (all of one colour) are gently swished about, after which they are rinsed in several lukewarm waters. Then a small basin of milk is brought into use. Into the milk a few drops of violet perfume are poured, and then tho dainty squares of linen are put in one by one. The milk takes the place of starch, and the essence of violet delicately perfumes them. They are then rolled in a clean towel to dry. When they are ironed the result is delightful, for 'retain the delicate odour, and have just tho right amount of stiffening.
