How To Laundry Fine Table Linen

In washing linen do not wring through a wringer as that will crease it, hang it on the line a little while but before it begins to dry take it down and fold for ironing. In ironing press on the iron as hard as possible. In ironing the first side do not iron quite dry as that will dry the opposite side perfectly dry. Iron the first side again in folding. You will find by not allowing the linen to dry it will iron ever so much smoother and have a nicer gloss, than if allowed to dry. Never starch the linen. Mrs. I. S. Detwiler.
