319. To Wash White Woolen Blankets.--To wash white woolen blankets,
dissolve four tablespoonfuls of good washing powder in a dipperful of
boiling water and pour into a tub of warm water. Open the blanket out wide
and put it in the tub and let it soak all over for a half an hour. Then
rub it all over between the hands, and if there are any stains left, rub
them with soap. Rinse in clear water of the same temperature as the wash
water. If you do this your blankets will be soft and will not shrink. Do
not rub blankets on a washboard, as it makes them hard, and blueing added
makes them a dull gray color.

required to gain good results.

323. A Convenience for the Household.--A convenience for the household,
that will be appreciated by men as well as women, is a wire rack to hang
in the closet. It has a series of projecting arms upon which coat hangers
may be placed without interfering with each other. This greatly augments
the closet room. This rack may be slipped over an ordinary closet hook,
and will accommodate five coat hangers.

324. To Turn the Hems of the Table Linen Easily and Accurately.--To turn
the hems of the table linen easily and accurately, remove the needle from
your sewing machine, adjust the hemmer to the desired width and pass the
goods through. They are then ready for hemming by hand. You will find this
saves a great deal of time, and gives you a straight, even hem.

325. Soft Wood Floors to Paint.--If a soft wood floor is glue sized,
