DIRECTIONS FOR STARCHING DOILIES

Starch: Dissolve ½ cup starch in ½ cup of cold water. Boil about 1¼ cups
of water, remove from flame, then slowly stir the starch mixture into
boiling water stirring constantly. Place back on flame until it
thickens.

As soon as starch is cool enough to handle, dip doily and squeeze starch
through it thoroughly. Wring out extra starch. The doily should be wet
with starch but there should be none in the spaces. Pin center of doily
in position according to size and leave until thoroughly dry. If steam
iron is used iron ruffle after it is dry. If regular iron is used dampen
ruffle slightly before pressing. Pin folds of ruffle in position and
leave until thoroughly dry.




* (Asterisk)—This sign indicates that the instructions immediately
following are to be repeated the given number of times plus the
original.

** Are used in the same way.
