When ready for the irenin.'j, spread tho article cut on the beard, rub tho Rtarehed part with a coarse, clean cloth, then with an ordinary iron proceed ! with the operation. It h\ important that tho board should not be too thickly covered. The surface on which tho shirts, etc., arc ironed ought not to be too soft. Tho best thing is n piece of thin blanket, tightly stretched, covered with linen. Coihu'3 and cuffs are ironed first on the • wrong: side with a very hot iron, then on the right pride. They should then be put aside, thoiqih still limp, while ethers era bcin;; treated in the came way. IJy this . tinie the iron will have eoolod sufficiently to finish tho tiling off. Lay them flat on the board, rub them quickly with a s igbtly moistened cloth and iron at onco heavily and rapidly, lcanin;- principally on tho tip of the iron and going as evenly as possible backward and forward over tho surface to insure tho same amount of gloss »D over. Mark the hems or sraina by press- . ing tho sido of the iron against them. | Tho final polish for cuffs and collars ■ consists in pulling them from under the hot clean iron, curving them, as it is done, so that they roll easily. In tliis statj stand them in a lar;;e tumbler and leave them there till quite cold. They will then be beautifully f-tiff and Th.e iron I Bhould bo wiped with a \va::od cloth. l, S>fcasiiii!;:;" FunilslihiS'S, Tho needful furniture may all be in a room, but no one housekeeper wiih arli.-tio ycavaiii;'■- h>r,y Hiucli w;ii or two uf li.e :;u;a:i qev;-j now bo ftsiiiionable would add to her e^rau;,.?-
