Lace Veils and Other Laces—To Wash or Renovate.
Wash veils carefully in alcohol and soft water, equal parts, simply squeezing in the. hands in and out of the mixture; then lay a towel on a table and smooth out the veil and pin the edges to the towel to dry, when, if carefully done, it will look as good as new. Borax water is also used for the same purpose, dryings the same way.
For Other Mice Laces. —Naomi King, in Farm and Fireside, says: "When you have some nice laces to wash put a little borax in warm soap suds and allow them to soak 1 hour; then shake about in it well and rinse in 2 or 3 clear waters, as you see necessary, and to the last water add a little white sugar; never use starch. Pull out well, and place between white cloths in an old book until dry. "
