TO WASH STARCHED LINEN.
Linen, which is to be starched, should first of all be steeped in cold water to soften tlie old starch, so that it may easily be removed by washing. This is important, as much rubbing tends to wear out the fabric. The linen should then be well washed in hot water with lard soap, until all starch lias been rubbed out and rinsed before boiling to keep the water in the boiler clean. After boiling it should be rinsed in a good supply of clean water, blued, starched, and thoroughly dried in the sun. then damped down and put away in a covered tub or basket ready for ironing.
