A Yellowed Shawl
Dear Aunt Daisy, I wrote a few months ago, asking you how to whiten a baby’s shawl, which had become discoloured. Having tried the method you suggested, I would like to thank you for your advice, as I found that the shawl returned to its normal colour very satisfactorily-Yours faithfull, "One Tree Hill." Thanks for your helpful acknowledgment. This was the method given. Allow twice as much powdered chalk as the garment, by weight. Make « paste with warm water, and knead the garment in it, afterwards washing and drying as usual. Washing the white woollies with borax in the water is also very goed. A few drops of peroxide in the rinsing water, or one or two drops only, of blue, is said to keep woollies white.
