TO
WASH
WHITE
THREAD
GLOVES
AND
STOCKINGS.--These
articles
are
so
delicate
as
to
require
great
care
in
washing,
and
they
must
not
on
any
account
be
rubbed.
Make
a
lather
of
white
soap
and
cold
water,
and
put
it
into
a
saucepan.
Soap
the
gloves
or
stockings
well,
put
them
in,
and
set
the
saucepan
over
the
fire.
When
they
have
come
to
a
hard
boil,
take
them
off,
and
when
cool
enough
for
your
hand,
squeeze
them
in
the
water.
Having
prepared
a
fresh
cold
lather,
boil
them
again
in
that.
Then
take
the
pan
off
the
fire,
and
squeeze
them
well
again,
after
which
they
can
be
stretched,
dried,
and
then
ironed
on
the
wrong
side.
TO
CLEAN
SILK
STOCKINGS.--First
wash
the
stockings
in
the
usual
manner,
to
take
out
the
rough
dirt.
After
rinsing
them
in
clean
water,
wash
them
well
in
a
fresh
soap
liquor.
Then
make
a
third
soap
liquor,
which
color
with
a
little
stone-blue;
then
wash
the
stockings
once
more,
take
them
out,
wring
them,
and
particularly
dry
them.
Now
stove
them
with
brimstone,
and
draw
on
a
wooden
leg
two
stockings,
one
upon
the
other,
observing
that
the
two
fronts
or
outsides
are
face
to
face.
Polish
with
a
glass
bottle.
The
two
first
liquors
should
be
only
lukewarm,
but
the
third
as
hot
as
you
can
bear
your
hand
in.
Blondes
and
gauzes
may
be
whitened
in
the
same
manner,
but
there
should
be
a
little
gum
put
in
the
last
liquor
before
they
are
stoved.
