Arum Lily Stains
Dear Aunt Daisy, A dress became stained with arum lilies; it was not noticeable until the dress had been washed. There is now a large reddish« brown mark down the front, however, which is all too plainly seen. I do hope you can think of some remedy. -* Lily of Dannevirke." Yes, Lily, mix together yolk of egg and glycerine in about equal proportions -or perhaps a slight preponderance of -_
glycerine. Soak the stains well in this; rub it in both sides, and then wash in clean, cold water, and afterwards with coal soap jelly. If it is a material that will boil, a good boiling with a_ little chloride of lime in the copper will take out the stain; being careful to rinse well in two or three waters, Children often get their school blouses stained in this way, and boiling with chloride of lime soon gets them clean again-about a tablespoon to a bucket of water is plenty to use. Do not let your hands come into contact with the: solution-use a stick. Another method is to soak the garments all night in the solution, then rinse them in 3 cold waters, and afterwards boil in the usual way. If the atticles will not boil, thoroughly wash them, using rubber gloves.
