The answer to this question is determined by either personal taste l’or neat­ ness or the amount of time and strength the homemaker has to devote to ironing.

Always iron fabrics until they are dry. 5. In* general, iron parts that dangle from the hoard first. 6.

On wide articles such as a tablecloth, fold lengthwise and iron one side. Then fold double and iron one side. Then fold double -and iron upper surface. Keep on folding and ironing the upper surface until the piece is finished. Fold from hem to hem occasionally, instead of length­ wise. Creasing in the same place tends to increase wear at that point.

We believe certain articles are damaged by regular ironing — elasticized portions of garments, fabrics waterproofed with waxes, rubber or other coatings which melt easily. Some of the syn­ thetics are ruined by high temp­ eratures. Then, too, pile-fabrics, such as corduroys and chenilles mat jmder pressure. Be careful how you iron delicate fabrics such as veilings, laces and loose­ ly woven materials decorated with beads or accessories — a firm pressing -cloth is advised on these fabrics. All bias-cut gar­ ments should be ironed on the grain of the fabric rather than from neck to hem, or sagging may result. Never pull sheer or­ gandies or the more fragile ray­ ons against the weight of the iron because the result will be fraying at the seams. Read the label to be sure that specially treated fabrics should be ironed. Mercerized, Sanforized and Permanently stiffened gar­ ments can be ironed. However, Glazed ’Chintz and Moisture-proof garments are not always recom­ mended for ironing. The finish depends upon both taste and fabric requirements. A i dull finish is obtained by ironing | on its wrong side: dark coloured •cottons and linens, rayons, satins, 1 crepes and embroidered pieces. IA glossy finish is achieved by ironing on the right side: white and light coloured linens, cot­ tons and washable glazed chintz. Damask cloths may be ironed on both sides look. The best guaranteed the safe temperature, the motion without drag, and the light pres­ sure of the iron. Points to re­ member are: 1. Use warm water to sprinkle clothes as it saturates fibres more evenly. Fold garments care­ fully, with hems and other double thickness parts turned in­ side and roll up tightly, using kneading pressure as you roll. Cover rolled items with heavy towel and let stand at least an hour, if you can. but keep them in a cool place to prevent mil­ dew. 2. The temperature of the iron is most important. It should be. controlled, as too Rule slows up* the process and of course too much damages the fabric and j produces shine or scorch. 3. Lost motion causes fatigue,« especially in hand ironing.

The even handling of | the iron as it is placed on and J lifted off the fabric is most ini* • port-ant. > Other points should be eon* 6.
