Some time a Jady asked advice as to eradicating tea and coffee stains from her tablecloths. I am not sure the question | has not been answered, but will give my} mode : Taking the cloth by one end, let it yo fold after fold into a pail, while a stream of clear boiling water is kept continuously pouring in as the cloth settles. Three com- mon sized cloths can be put in the pail, one afterthe other. The work should be done rapidly ; the water, either hard or soft— just ‘‘ screaming ” hot. The clothes should be well packed down and pounded for. two cr three minutes with the clothes stick. Throw a eloth over to keep them screaming until wanted for the wash. This will take out stains of almost any character ; ang is equally efficacious with stains in any other goods,
