Dealing With a
Silk-Embroidered Cloth,
If a silk-embroidered linen cloth is to be starched, gather the embroid- ery in one hand, and dip the plain part only into the starch, or the silk threads will be clogged and the ap- pearance of, the embroidery spolled.
A much better treatment for that type of article is to wash it in bran
The water,
stiffness is necessary imparted to the linen, the colour is brightened, and no dainage is done to the silk thrends.
To prepare bran water, the some bran foosely in a muslin bag, cover completely with water and stew for twenty minules. For washing, dilute the quor with an equal quantity of water, for rinsing and stiffening, use full strength,
Indian or Chinese white embrold- ery on linen-lawn may be stiffened with gum water, one tablespoonful to one pint of water. A much clearer and more pleasing effect will thus be obtained and the fron will glide freely over the wet surface.
Organdie does nut require starch If ironed wet.
If a glossy surface is desired, iron on the right side, if a matt one, on the wrong. French women who are wonderful Inundresses, rarely iron nay material on the right, although it is advisable to de so in the ease of dam- ask or fine linen.
All embroideries should be pressed over a pad of flannel.
