some skill at sleight of hand, I

How to Wwuli Woolrni.
No part of the laundry work is. as a
rule, so unsatisfactory as the washing
of the woolen garments. The structure
of wool tihrc is so different front
that of linen and cotton that it should
receive different treatment in the laundry.
Rubbing and wringing cause the
wool fibres to knot, thus giving us a
thickened and shrunken fabric; therefore
woolen goods should be sopped
and squeezed to remove the dirt, and
the water should lie pressed out. not
wrung out. i.adies" Home Journal.
