To wnsh all wool flannel*, sweaters and blaaketa. by a method that will prevent them from shrinking. I* the ambition of every careful housewife. It is said that tbl* may be accouipli*lied by washing them in cold water in •blch borax and white soap have been dissolved. Tin- proportion seems to be about a level tablesponnful of borax and one-fourth of a cake of sonp tn two or three gallons of water, depending upon the degr*4 of hardness of the water. To wash a sweater, use enough water to cover It generously. Let the sweater soak an hour, then aqtieeze It out, bnt do not wring IL If necessary put through n second water which has been softened with borax and wiilte soap. Afterward rinse very tbi roughly In several cold water* and put throngh a wringer. Then pull It Into slmpc nnd dry It. Blanket* and flanhels may be successfully washed

In this way.

It Is said fluffy, knitted garments of wool should not be hung up to dry. Tl-ls process for washing them nnd then drying them so that they will look like new. Is given by some authorities. Make a warm suds of water and will tv soup ^wnsh the garment and rinse thoroughly - . Hun through a wringer and place In a tain In which a towel has bc*-n laid. Take tbe garment out oeraslonnlly and shake It. the* allowing It to dry gradually and with many shakings. To Wash White China SUk. White ehlna silk, so much used for waist* and underclothing. Is apt to turn yellow- in the wash. To prevent •this, one must take precautions. Soap t not be rnhhed on china silk gurts nor firnmonln used to soften the water, lu-wblch they are washed. Cut up any white ommip nnd mix It wjfih water until a Jelly Is formed.

With this make a strong and* with hot water. Put the silk snrment In this suds and squeeze through tb« hand*, lifting It up and down In the and*. Hub the soiled spot* with the hands, hut do not put soap on them. Rinse, when clean. In clear lukewarm water, and Anally In cold water. Lay In a towel and pat. to take up the moisture, am) then roll In n second dry - towel. After a short while, shake out the garment anil spread over a rack. In the house, until almost dry. Finally pres* with a warm Iron on the wrong side. Jt is said that a teaspoonful of methylated spirit*, added to th* last rinsing water, will give a gloss to the silk, snrh a* It has when new.
