CARE OF SILK STOCKINGS.
Silk' s'tockings are expensive, and every womah knows it ; but thfe is not all—they are also very easily worn out, and then have to be disposed of. But, With the aid of a few secrets, some, women have accomplished wonders in this line. And now they say, "It's all nonsense," because With proper care silk stockings will wear well. .In-washing-silk'stockings they should first be soaked in borax water, and afterward washed'quickly in soapsuds which is no more than.blood warm. '.If.the water is too hot tho silk becomes harsh and crinkly. Instead of wringing the , stockings : out, simply squeezing.them well, afterward rinsing in two waters "the same temperature and hanging out to dry without wringing. little bluing should bo added to the water if the stockings are white, but not if coloured. There is another' little wrinkle which should be kept in mind, and that is that knit silk should never be sprinkled. Wring out a towel from hot water, fold stockings up in it and leave for an hour.- In ironing them, smooth out all the wrinkles and press quickly. Turn inside out and press again.
