BUTTERCLOTH CLOTHING.

“A .Soldier’s Widow” forwards the following letter to the. editor <>l the “Lyttelton Times" “As some inquiries have been made regarding the making of buttereioth clothing treated with disinfectant, I should esteem it a favour if you will publish the following: —‘1 have put on the first of those X-ray suits, and it feels lovely: we have ail been feeling itchy with beat and insects. These suits are splendid fool so clean and the disinfectant makes them smell clean. The suits were made of old inary buttereioth at threepence a yard. The trousers were cut from a pyjama pattern, wide in the waist, and the vest from large un-der-flannel pattern, wide at the neck and with long sleeves. if the neck and waist are cut wide no open mgs will be required. Just make * hern and run in narrow tape. The chemist ad vis ts l a disinfectant containing eucalyptus nil, which gives a smooth, soft feeling to the cloth. Saturate the suit in this nr in. otnoT disinfectant if preferred, and dry twice, indoors if possible. Roll up the garment very tightly in oiled or parchment paper, gum carefully U> keep out the air. and write on outside what it is, or it may b« opened before it is required.”
