All that is necessary Í9 to shake it carefully to scatter the white powder, and then it is ready for wear, with all the slender threads perfect and as fresh as when new. Here is another good way: Make strong suds with some nice white soap, such as castile or ivory, and lay the lace in this, shaking it about for a few minutes; then stand the vessel containing it in the sun. If it is very dirty, you niay have to change the suds ouce or twice, but you raust not rub the lace even between the hands. When it is clean, sliake it through several rinsing waters, lift it out by both ends and shake well.
