If ink has'Been'spilt on the carpet pour vinegar on to it and then press the stain with "'pieces 6£ Blotting paper, renewing , these constantly until the. ink has. Been absorbed. ; ■ With" a fresh stain this usually works like magic, but for an older one severer applications' arid a considerable amount of patience may Be necessary. Another uiethod is to cut a , ripe tomato in half, rub it on the slain, and then sponge it off with warm' water. Tnmatn 'can also be used for linen and silk, as well as for woollen materials and carpets. '.'.l' , Fresh ink, stains on'white washing, materials 'may be soaked and ; yußßedwith milk until they disappear. If the stains are very obstinate the fabric can be left in the milk until this has turned sour, But a great deal of washing will Be needed to remove the subsequent odour. ■ For dry ink stains oh white washing 'things stretch the fabric across a soup plate or Basin nearly filled-‘with Boiling water, cover the stains with, salts of lemon and rub this in with the handle of a wooden or bone spoon until the stains disappear. Rinse the cloth very thoroughly in clear water, and then wash in the ordinary way. Ink on furniture or polished floors will usually yield to vinegar which has been mixed with a. very little methylated .spirit.- ••
