Silk, Cashmere and Black Alpaca Dresses, to Cleanse.
Dissolve a table-spoonful of powdered borax in 1 qt. of warm water (soft water), and after dusting thoroughly brush such parts as need it, or the whole, if much worn, and iron on the wrong side.
16. Black Silk, Alpaca, Serge and Lawn Dresses, to Do
Over. —The following on the care and manner of doing over black silk, cash mere, alpaca, serge and lawn dresses, which I take from Harper's Bazar, is well worth a place here, and will be found worthy of consideration by every woman into whose hands this book shall come. It says:
" No lady should ever don her alpaca, cashmere or serge without giving it a thorongh dusting with broom or brush. Dust permitted to settle in the folds of pleat or shirring will soon be impossible to remove entirely, and give the whole gown that untidy air so much to be deprecated in everything pertaining to a lady's person.
