LAWN BATISTE HANDKERCHIEF LINEN" r NET
ORGANDIE VOILE DOTTED SWISS
Keep your cotton
blouses and underthinss
as dainty and fresh
as your silk ones
UST because 'they "weren't silk you thought
they could be laundered any old way your
dear little blouse all of rose colored linen and
the slim French chemise of flesh batiste banded
with soft old blue.
80 you calmly' put Tthem in with. the regular
laundry, with the thick, heavy, strong things!
But how soon they turned sad and worn ! How
quickly they lost the charm of their freshness 1
Thc rose blouse is quite dead and lifeless with its
tiny tucks all scattered, the frilly cuffs frayed and
torn. And the hemstitched bands on your chemise
are just thin miserable strings of material. They
look a fright. on youl
It was so unnecessary not the least bit their
fault! All the pretty things needed to make them
last, was the same gentle. Lux laundering that
you. always give your silk blouses and underwear.
Fine cottons and linens cannot stand
ordinary scrubbing
Your nice cotton and linen things cannot stand
scrubbing anymore than your georgettes and chiffons.
-
The organdy frock need not pull apart, nor the sweet net
blouse lose its freshness. You can keep them new with Lux
Rubbing roughens fine lingerie fabrics. It takes
away their nice smoothness. It tears their fine hem
stitching and lovely lace.
Don't go on laundering your voile and batiste
blouses this ruinous, heartless way. Launder them
just as carefully as you do your crepe de Chine ones.
The gentlest way in the world
The delicate Lux flakes dissolve the minute they
touch hot water and whip up into the softest, bub
bliest lather. Put in your very nicest, your most
adored possessions. There's not a thing in Lux that
could hurt any fabric or color that water alone will
not harm.
There's not a particle of hard cake soap to stick
to a bit of dainty lace and stiffen it. There's not
even any rubbing to wear through the fine lingerie
fabrics. Just the pure Lux suds to dip the sweet
things up and down in. And the rich Lux lather
to press through the soiled spots. The most expen
sive blouse's collar and. cuffs will come from this
careful cleansing unharmed.
Your batiste and lawn underthings you can
make them last twice as long the gentle Lux way.
Their soft Valenciennes edgings and insertions will
go into these bubbling suds without one qualm.
Their fine French embroidery cannot be twisted
and pulled it will stay soft and smooth.
Use Lux for all your fine lingerie things. You
can keep them whole and beautiful longer than you
ever before thought "possible. Your grocer, drug
gist or department store has Lux. Lever Brothers
Co., Cambridge, Mass.
Lux will not injure a?iy fabric or color that water alone will not hurt
lotton blouses and underthings If you are not sure a color is fast
Use one tablespoonful of Lux to a gallon of
water. Whisk to a rich lather in very hot
water. Let white things soak for a few minutes,
then dip them up and down. Press the suds
through again and again. Do not rub. Rinse
in three hot waters and dry in the sun. For
colors add cold water until suds are luke-warm.
Wash quickly and rinse in three luke-warm
waters. Dry in the shade.
If possible, first wash a sample and dry it. If
the color runs trv to set it, as follows: For
brown and black and pink use two cups of salt
to a gallon of cold water. For blue use half a
cup of vinegar. For lavender use one table
spoonful of sugar of lead. Soak for half
an hour and then rinse thoroughly before
washing. Colors must be set before each
washing.
