How to Do Magic
With Food Stains
Here's encouraging news for
you about removing food stains
from your family s clothes. You
can do all sorts of magic with
stained linens, cottons, wools and
silks, if you remember to work
from the back of the fabric, place
a piece of absorbent cotton under
the spot when possible, and fol
low this guide:
Fruit Saturate with glycerine
for several hours. Glycerine can
be purchased at your local drug
store and is useful in loosening
stains from many causes. Stretch
fabric over bowl and pour boiling
water through stain. Most effi
cient temperature for the water
is 150 F. If the stain is still stub
born, use warm glycerine.
Ice cream and cream Sponge
with warm water. If stains re
mains, use carbon tetrachloride
and launder or use dry suds. Dry
suds is made by whipping soap
jelly with an egg beater to the
consistency of shaving lather.
Butter and substitutes Laun
der in warm suds.
Salad dressing Sponge with
cool water. If necessary, when
dry, sponge with carbon tetra
chloride, but never near an open
flame.
Egg and meat juices Scrape
off excess, then soak in cold
water and launder.
Mustard Saturate with warm
glycerine, and wash the fabric
in a solution of soap to which
a small amount of alcohol has
been added.
Green vegetables Scrub with
heavy suds, using brush. For
white cottons use chlorine
bleach.
Coffee and chocolate Apply
glycerine with a small sponge,
let stand a few minutes, then
launder or use dry suds.
Don't attempt to treat stains
on non-washable fabrics. You
may completely ruin the entire
garment. Instead, baste a white
thread around the stain, pin on

Rose Tinted Drink
For Valentine's Day
Roses and hearts, sweet sym
bols of sentiment, are the most
widely chosen decorations for
Valentine parties. An arrange
ment of roses and cut out card
board hearts, lace frilled, make
a charming centerpiece for the
table, whether you set a formal
table or are having simple buf
fet refreshments.
For the latter, tiny sand
wiches cut in heart and diamond
shapes are attractive. Of course,
delicious drinks are necessary to
the success of any party. Ginger
ale is always a refreshing bev
erage to serve. Alone, or in com
bination with orange juice,
grape juice or other fruit juices,
the tangy flavor of ginger ale
appeals to all ages.
Here's a drink, rose tinted and
a tag stating its cause, and send
the garment to be dry cleaned
promptly.
