PICNIC STAINS.
Picnic stains have ruined many pretty summer frocks, and the following information will be found invaluable to our readers. For butter stains, sponge with soap and water. Warm soapsuds alone will often remove butter spots from white woollens, too, and will also reduce tea stains on white linen and cotton. Sponging with a bleaching solution, made by dissolving a teaspoonful of bleaching powder in £ cupful of cold water, is more effective for tea stains. If they are persistent, moisten with vinegar which has been diluted with equal volume of water beforo applying the bleaching solution. When the stains have disappeared, all traces of bleaching must be removed by rinsing in clean water. Blood stains should first bo soaked in cold salt water, then washed in warm, soapy water.
