"WASH-DAY" REMINDERS.
A handful of salt added to the rinsingwater of coloured muslins or prints will help to set the colour and prevent its running. Dusters, kitchen cloths, etc., should be washed last of all. Starch should be mixed in a scrupulously clean pan; pour on sufficient cold water to mix it into a smooth, thick paste, then add the boiling water, stirring briskly all the time, until the starch is cooked. Always wipe the lines carefully before, banging the clothes out to dry; see that the pegs are clean and remember to double the corners of the articles before putting the peg through.' Things that are set in a band should bo hung from the hem, and not from the band. Shirts should bo suspended from the bottom. Linen garments should be bung with 1 tho fullness downwards, but with flannels I the reverse plan should be adopted.
