"Is there a way to wash feather pillows?" "What should I do about washing lace trimmings?" All of these are special laundering problems which can be solved by using practical methods. Ordinary laundering cannot be used for these and other laundry, but when variations of basic methods are used with caution, you can have excellent results. White clothes, for example can be soaked for longer periods than colored clothes because they are washed In hotter water and may d to rebe boiled, then store their whiteness. Doubtful-colore- d cottons and linens have to be washed and rinsed quickly because you cannot be certain the color stays in them. Colored clothes cannot stand the hot water necessary for cottons. They are best when soaked for only a half an hour as then the dirty water cannot lodge In them, making it necessary to wash out along with dirt. Dark cottons should be washed separately, and In clean water T SOAK MY COLORED 4 ' lf ,1 ' ? ; r'; - . MaJ. Gen. Keating replaced Brig. Gen. William Roberts as the U.S. Army Korean military advisor.

Handle Fragile Curtains With Great Care Fragile lace curtains need almost as gentle care as do fine fabrics. You'll do much toward prolonging their life by frequent washing, rather than by letting them become very soiled and then subjecting them to vigorous washing. Since curtains gather much dust, shake them out thoroughly or hang them outside on the line before washing to get rid of the surface dust. Soak for 10 minutes before laundering. Curtains should be washed by hand if fragile; otherwise, machine washing may be used.
