As it is so fashionable for both children and grown folks to wcar bMck stockings, it is well to know how to wash them so they wil] not fade. Both cotton and vvoolen sliould always be washed before they are worn. Lay them all night to soak in cold water. Wash them next day by themselves in two waters, warm, but not hot, the soap being previously rubbed into the water so as to form a lather before the stockings are put in, and rnixing with the first water a tablpspoonful of gall. Then rinse them, first in lukewarm water, until the dye ceases to come out and the last wateris colorless. Stretch them and hang them out immediately in the air to dry as fast as possible.
