SUGGESTIONS FOR "WASHING DAY. The evening previous io washing, all the clothes should be gathered up and assorted ; Woolens, colored clothes, unbleached cottons and linens and fine clothes, into their sepa rate bundles. Except woolens and colored clothes, all other kinds should be put to *>.ak over night, the very dirty par's having soap rubbed on them. If y>u use a washing fluid, it is usually mixed in the soaking water : if you use no wash mixture, the next murn iDg wring out tho clothes and proceed to wash thetn carefully through two warm lath ! ers. then boil them in clean la'her briskly, but notlonget than a half hour. Tbe las' . rinaing water should have a delicate tinge ot ! blue, likewise a small quantity of s'arch fr all cottons or linens ; reserve those you wish atiffer fot the last, and mix more starch 'D the water. Shirt bosoms and collars, skirts, ! in short, anything you wtsh very stiff should be dipped in starch while dry. Swiss and i other thin muslins, and laces are dipped in •tarch while dry, and then clapped wtb the hands until they are in the right condition to ! iron. Calicoes, brilliants,and lawns of white groands are washed like any other ma'enal, i omitting tbe boding until the yellow tinge they acquire makes it absolutely necessary Unbleached cottons and linens follow the white clothes through the same waters, but mast in no case be boiled or washed with them as they continually discharge a. portion of their color, arid so discolor the white clothes. In directing the preparations for ' washing fiuids, we give the process employed 1 with them, but colored clothes,"in our expe rience can be washed in none of them with out injury to the Color. Calicoes, col red lawn, and colored cottons, and linens gener ally, are washed through two suds and two rinsing waters ; starch being used in the last as all clothes look better and keep clean lin ger if a little stiffened. . Many calicoes wilt sp44 if snap is rubbed on thetn ; they should be washed in a lather simply. A spoonful ol ox-gall to a gallon of water will set the colors of any goods soaked in it previous to wash ing. A teacup ol lye in a bucket of water will improve the color of black goods. A strong,clean tea of common hay will preserve the color of th- se French lineDs so much used in-summer by both sexes. If the water in which potatoes are cooked is saved and boil dosm, it stiffens black calicoes as well as starch, and saves 'hem frcm tbe dust and •meared look they so often have.
