Clothes lines are made mnch more durable by boiling for ten minutes before they are used. Table linen should be ironed when quite damp and ironed with a very hot and very heavy iron. Embroideries should be ironed on a thin, smooth surface over thick flannel, and only on the wrong side. Linen may be made beautifully white by the use of a little refin ed borax iu the water instead of using a washing fluid. Wash fabrics that are inclined to fade should be soaked and rinsed iu very salty water to set the color, before washing iu the suds. Irons should not be allowed to become red hot, as they will nev er retain the heat properly after ward.
