[O
HEART!
BUT
TRY
IT
ONCE;--'TIS
EASY
TO
BE...]
2730.
To
Wash
China
Crêpe
Scarves,
&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
colours
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
colours),
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.

To
Wash
a
White
Lace
Veil.
Put
the
veil
into
a
strong
lather
of
white
soap
and
very
clear
water,
and
let
it
simmer
slowly
for
a
quarter
of
an
hour;
take
it
out
and
squeeze
it
well,
but
be
sure
not
to
rub
it:
rinse
it
twice
in
cold
water,
the
second
time
with
a
drop
or
two
of
liquid
blue.
Have
ready
some
very
clear
weak
gum
arabic
water,
or
some
thin
starch,
or
rice
water;
pass
the
veil
through
it,
and
clear
it
by
clapping;
then
stretch
it
out
evenly,
and
pin
it
to
dry
on
a
linen
cloth,
making
the
edge
as
straight
as
possible,
opening
out
all
the
scallops,
and
fastening
each
with
pins.
When
dry,
lay
a
piece
of
thin
muslin
smoothly
over
it,
and
iron
it
on
the
wrong
side.
