Is to take the same kind of com meal, 1/2 and coarse salt, 1/2 Pt-; mixing well, then with a brush, all being •dry, scour, or rather rub well, both sides, this does the work quicker, but the first is the best because it saves the rubbing, which frets out the texture. Of course the lace would not stand the rubbing of this last plan. Understand no water is to be used, it is all done by the dry process.
HINTS FOR THE LAUNDRY. —Washing All Colors of Calicos, Percales, Muslins, Brown Linen, etc., and to Remove Paint and Wine Stains From Silks, Woolen and Cotton Goods. —Besides the foregoing receipts on general washings, etc., I deem it best to put in a few Items, or "hints, " as the above heading has it, from various sources, which are
generally short, and right to the point for quick work. These first are from Mrs. E. S. Barrett, of Sing Sing, New York, July 1882, in the New York Examiner, wherein she says: " Every housekeeper knows how vexatious it is to have colored fabrics ruined in the process of cleansing. A few practical hints about washing calicoes, percales and muslins will therefore be of real service to the readers of the Examiner.
