COTTON SPORTS FROCKS
HINTS FOR THE HOME DRESSMAKER If smart and simple little cotton sports frocks are to do tile home dressmaker real credit, the material should always be well shrunk before being made up. Let it steep for at least a couple of in a pail of water; and see that every part of the cotton fabric is thoroughly well saturated. After the soaking, it should be hung up—unwrung—to dry in the open air. The plain-water steeping applies to white goods only. Coloured cottons should be soaked in wellsalted water for about four hours; when they can be put through the wringer and dried in the wind. But not, on any account, in the sun. Better dry indoors if the weather is not propitious for outdoor airing.
