CREAM LINEN
A WASHING HINT. To preserve the colour of cream linen articles, such as supper-cloths, table centres, doilies, etc, and prevent the linen from gradually going white, wash in bran water. Put 1 cup of bran into a saucepan with two pints of cold water, bring slowly to boiling point, simmer half an hour, then strain through muslin and add another quart of water and a little melted soap. If the linen is washed and rinsed in this preparation no starching is necessary, as the bran water gives sufficient stiffening. Less soap is used as the bran has a cleansing action, and the articles retain that delightful creamy tint.
