WHITE WOOLLENS

A REMEDY FOR YELLOWNESS. On© is often tempted to ciscard lost season's white flannel trousers and whit© woollen coats and costumes because of the deep yellow tint which they have assumed after washing A sulphur-fum-ing will put this tint right, states a writer in an English exchange. It is the method used. by the Shetland Islander for whitening her wool and knitted goods. It must be remembered, however, 4 hat no coloured trimmings should appear on the white woollens, or the result will be disastrous. ,jA small room, farily airtight, is required for the sulphuring. Ad the fumes are poisonous, it should not be near a room or bedroom. An empty attio might be used, while there is no objection to a corl-houso, if the clothes tau b© kept clean. A small outhouse, where available, is best. Lines must be arranged, on which to spread the clothes. The clothes should be washed if at all soiled, or. if clean, thoroughly wetted in hot water, run out, and hung oi the prepared lines, so that both side©; will be equally exposed to the fumes. Some red-hot cinders on a shovel ate placed beneath the clothes lines and two tablespoonfnls of rock sulphur or flowers of sulphur are scattered over them. Another method is to ignite the sulphur by means of methylated, spirits. Where the floor of the room is wooden, it must be protected by raising the shovel on bricks, care also must be taken to see that the clothes cannot be reached the flame of the burning sulphur. After an hour the sulphur should be burnt out and the fumes dispersed. If little change has taken place it is because the room was . too big and the garments too many for the sulphur fumes. Burn some more sulphur and examine again. It must be borne in mind that oversulphuriiur will of itself turn the garments yellow, so the novice had l best proceed by small doses of sulphur and hourly examinations. The first dose, however, in the large majority of cases, will be found sufficient. Take out the clothes and iron them. Shetland goods treated in this way should be dried, if possible, on a stretcher, instead of ironing. As the fumes are poisonous, do not remain in the room while the fumigation is going on.
