HINTS FOR THE BUSY HOUSEWIFE RINSING IS IMPORTANT When you think the clothes have boiled long enough, remove them from the wash-boiler and rinse each garment carefully, first in hot water, then in cold. Rinsing should be continued until the rinse water runs clear, to make sure that all the soap has been removed. If the water is especially hard, great care should be taken to rinse thoroughly. The garments should then be wrung, blued and starched if necessary, folded, and finally wrung again. [photograph] An electric washing machine for home laundry.

Even in bad weather it is surprising, if the weather be watched, how much drying can be done on the line. A few minutes' blow helps the indoor drying, and makes the clothes smell sweeter than if wholly dried inside. Be warned, though. See that the line and the clothes-pegs are quite clean. You don't want the result of your labours spoilt! For a large family a drying Page Twenty-three
