SUMMER LAUNDRY.
Browx holland frocks always present a better appearance if washed in bran water, without any. soap being used. Boil a pound of bran in two quarts of water, strain this into two quarts of clean warm water, and wash the ' dress in as many lots of water as necessary. Rinse through cold water, and, when, half dry, iron on the wrong side with a hot iron. Silk, summer blouses want washing quickly and carefully, one at .1 time. Do not wring the blouse, but squeeze through two bowls of soapsuds, then rinse through clear warm water. Pale-coloured silks improve by being given a second rinsing through blue water. Roll in a towel, and iron before quite dry with a fairly hot iron, keeping a piece of muslin between the silk and the iron— good tip this latter. So many home-laundresses ruin silk blouses, making them yellow, by washing them in very hot water. /
