THE i"WEST SHORE.
WHITENING LINEN.
According lo a French writer, crystallized
carbonate of soda, although so great a
favorite with the washerwoman, is a de
clared foe to linen, since, notwithstanding
its cleansing power, it attacks the fibre, and
after a time makes it so rotten as to cause
it to tear, almost at the touch. An im
provement on this substance, it is said,
consists in the employment of a solution in
the proportion of two pounds of soap to
twenty-five quarts of warm water, to which
are to be added one table-spoonful of
essence of turpentine and three spoonfuls
of ammonia. The mixture is to be stirred
by the help of a little broom, and the linen
immersed in it for several hours, the tub
being completely covered. The articles
are then to be washed in the ordinary way,
rinsed in tepid water, and then blued, if
this is necessary. The same solution can
be used twice over by heating again and
adding half the amount given of essence
of turpentine and ammonia.
It is claimed that this process is accom
panied by great economy of time, labor,
and fuel, and that the linen experiences
little or no injury, appearing finally in a
condition of irreproachable whiteness.
The ammonia, it is said, does not exert
j any corrosive effect upon the fibre, since it
t ; evaporates immediately and the odor of the
' turpentine entirely disappears in drying.
Glossed Shirt Bosoms. Take two
ounces of fine white gum arabic powder,
put it in a pitcher, and pour on a pint or
more of water, and then, having covered
it, let it stand all night. In the morning,
pour it carefully from the dregs into a clean
bottle, cork, and keep it for use. A tea
spoonful of gum water stirred in a pint of
starch, made in the usual way, wiil give to
lawns, white or printed, a look of newness,
when nothing else can restore them, after
they have been washed.
