Salad Sense

Don't leave salad stuffs to zoak in water as this makes them limp and soggy. Water should be used to wash and freshru them, but never to soak them.

Add a few drops of vinegar to the water instead of sati when washing greens, Vinegar is more efficient in destroying those tiny insects and gruba which turke among the leaves.

For the majority of women, how- aver, a few tips on how to choose material will be useful, and should bo borne in mind the next time you go shopping.

When choosing cottons, ginghams, or volles, see that the pattern goes right through, that is, the colours should be us bright on the wrong alde as on the right side. This is usually, a good indication or fost colours,

"the greater yardage to be purchased Remember, too, that a garment cuts much better out of a wide material, and that although weight woollen material will be more 54 insight expensive, it will go further than one which is only 30 ins, wide.

Testing Linen

When buying linen test it for weight, by draping a piece over one arm. A leavy weight will not crease easily, and will hang for bet- ter. Irish linen can be judged usual- ly by ila somewhat coarse weave (when of dress weight), and is par ticularly suitable for suits and sum- mer coals. Choose a closer weave inen for frocks where pleats are to be introduced,

When uncertain of its crease- resisting properties, plach a plece between the fingers. If it springs back casily evening will only be slight

Reputable manufacturers do guarantee their materials, and it is advisable to make sure of this fact before-and after-purchase,

When

purchasing silk squeeze a quantity in the palm of your hand. It should spring away without any sign of creasing if it is good quality. Here, again, test the smoothness and closeness of the weave.

If you intend edging underwear with lace choose a heavy-weight silk for the garment. Lighter weights may tear away where the lace is stitched on to the material.

If instructions for washing materini are given, follow these faithfully. And, if you are not sure how it will wash, measure a small plece for size. and test this first of all.
