POINTS FOR A LAUNDRESS
The first step for the good laundress
who sorts her clothes the night before
wash-day is to search for stained
garments, to be laid aside so that the
fruit, grass, or ink stain can be re
moved with boiling water, naphtha,
soap, or fresh milk. The next step
is to soak the remaining clothes in
soapy water to loosen the dirt. The
third step, next morning, is to wring
out the clothes, wash the tubs, and fill
them nearly full of hot water and the
boiler half full of cold water and dis
solved soap. Then, says Mable Hyde
Kittredge in The Home and Its Man
agement {Century Company), she is
ready for real work.
The cleanest clothes, like the clean
est dishes, should be washed first.
These are table and bed linen.
“Put them in one tub of water; use
soap freely. As each piece is washed,
wring it with the hands and drop it
in the next tub of water. When all
this first lot are in the second tub,
wash them again with soap and drop
in the boiler of cold water. When
the boiler is full, put it over a hot fire
and press the clothes down with the
stick.
‘•While the first tubful of clothes is
scalding in the boiler, rub out the
second tubful of underclothes, which
are the next cleanest, in the same
manner. When the second lot is
ready for the boiler, put the first,
which should have finished boiling, in
a tub of clear water.
“While the second lot is in the
boiler, wash the third lot, which will
be the more soiled clothes and towels,
lake the second lot from the boiling
water and put them in the tub with
the first clothes, then put the third
washing in the Iroiler.
“h is now time to rinse the first
and second clothes. Wash out the
tubs, fill them with cleat cold water,
rinse and wring from one tub into
the other, then wring out into bluing
water. I he last lioiler of clothes
should be rinsed in the same way and
blued, As the clothes are wrung out
from the bitting water, separate those
that require stardiing,"
for bluing, use clean cold water,
and have the bluing ball lied in a
doth to prevent speck* on the
cloth's Never allow the clothes to
stand in bluing water, not to rest on
the Irollout of the tub. or they will
become streaked,
