LACE CURTAINS

Fragile lace curtains should

never be rubbed or the threads will soon break and the curtains wear |out quickly in consequence.

The best method is to fill a large milk or wine bottle with soapy: lukewarm water. Push the cur- tain through the neck of the battle and, with one hand over the open- ing, shake the bottle briskly for some minutes. Repeat his tprocess until the curtain is clean. Washed in this manner, the lace cannot pos- sibly tear..

If the lace is coffee-coloured it' should be passed through a rinsing | water consisting or weak or strong coffee, according to the shade re- quired. Roll it up in a towel and iron with a fairly hot iron after about an hour.

The lace should be ironed fairly damp as it will then come up the right stiffness without starching.
