TO
RESTORE
SCORCHED
LINEN.--Take
two
onions,
peel
and
slice
them,
and
extract
the
juice
by
squeezing
or
pounding.
Then
cut
up
half
an
ounce
of
white
soap,
and
two
ounces
of
fuller's
earth;
mix
with
them
the
onion
juice,
and
half
a
pint
of
vinegar.
Boil
this
composition
well,
and
spread
it,
when
cool,
over
the
scorched
part
of
the
linen,
leaving
it
to
dry
thereon.
Afterwards
wash
out
the
linen.
TO
WHITEN
LINEN
THAT
HAS
TURNED
YELLOW.--Cut
up
a
pound
of
fine
white
soap
into
a
gallon
of
milk,
and
hang
it
over
the
fire
in
a
wash-kettle.
When
the
soap
has
entirely
melted,
put
in
the
linen,
and
boil
it
half
an
hour.
Then
take
it
out;
have
ready
a
lather
of
soap
and
warm
water;
wash
the
linen
in
it,
and
then
rinse
it
through
two
cold
waters,
with
a
very
little
blue
in
the
last.
TO
WASH
CHINA
CRAPE
SCARFS,
&c.--If
the
fabric
be
good,
these
articles
of
dress
can
be
washed
as
frequently
as
may
be
required,
and
no
diminution
of
their
beauty
will
be
discoverable,
even
when
the
various
shades
of
green
have
been
employed
among
other
colors
in
the
patterns.
In
cleaning
them,
make
a
strong
lather
of
boiling
water--suffer
it
to
cool;
when
cold,
or
nearly
so,
wash
the
scarf
quickly
and
thoroughly,
dip
it
immediately
in
cold
hard
water,
in
which
a
little
salt
has
been
thrown
(to
preserve
the
colors),
rinse,
squeeze,
and
hang
it
out
to
dry
in
the
open
air;
pin
it
at
its
extreme
edge
to
the
line,
so
that
it
may
not
in
any
part
be
folded
together;
the
more
rapidly
it
dries,
the
clearer
it
will
be.
