WASHING WOOLLEN GARMENTS
The secret of success in washing all woollens woven under-garments, flannel petticoats, and cashmere capes and dresses —is not to pour water upon the dry material, and not to rub soap upon them. Plunge tha garments into a tub of hot water in which.soap has been dissolved. The water should not be hotter than the hands can bear comfortably. A. board should not be used for flannels, but they should bo rubbed and squeezed gently between the hands ustil all soil is removed. Have ready another tub of weak suds a little hotter than the first, and drop them into it, rinsing . thoroughly. Wring as tightly as possible from the last water, pull and snap into shape, and pin firmly to the line, pulling them gently until all wrinkles are removed.
To make them smooth with the appearance of a new article, take before quite dry and press with a moderately hot iron until .they are completely dry.
