Colored clothes should never lie in soapy or dirty water, but be washed in clean water, instantly rinsed and hung in a shady place. It is never wise to ask the cook to serve an untried dish to guests. To be sure of a good dinner have the things the cook has made successfully. PUTTING AWAY WINTER CLOTHES In packing away winter clothing or house furnishings the cheif thing to remember Is to have everything well cleaned. Beat out the dust, take out the spots, shake out the wrinkles. Let them hang in the hot sun for a day if possible. Turn the pockets of garments wrong side out. Where heavy, deep plied rugs are used in bedrooms the substitution of rag rugs for summer gives an air of daintiness. Blankets must be cleaned before they are put away. If you lack the convenience of cedar chests, use the mothproof cases which come for the purpose. Or, if it is more convenient, make cases for yourself by wrapping the blankets in paper and tightly fastening fast-ening the ends so there Is no chance of the moth finding entrance. Somo housekeepers have great faith In turpentine tur-pentine as a moth enemy. Thoy dip bunches of cotton in it and lay between be-tween the folds of blankets or gar ments in the same manner as moth balls are used. |
