HINTS AND RECIPES
Always sweep rugs and carpets the way of the nap. To brush against it roughens the surface and tends to force the dust into the carpet instead of out of it. To brighten the colours, mix together bran and salt in equal parts and scatter the mixture on the carpet; then sweep off with stiff brush.
To keep cream flannel trousers from shrinking. —Prepare a warm, soapy lather by dissolving three ounces of borax and a packet of soap-flakes in hot water. Place the trousers in this and wash quickly. Next place them in a second warm bath containing
“flakes” and one dessertspoon of ammonia, wring out of this and rinse in luke-warm water. Give a final rinse in cold water, to which add just a squeeze of blue, lift the trousers out without wringing, and hang in the wind. When nearly dry, remove and press over a cloth.
