The Day's Routine: Fold

Fold the lower part upon the upper, leaving room for a wide hem or heading at the top. Stitch down the folded part on the sewing machine, leaving separate pockets for knives, forks, and other articles. Face the heading with a strip of canvas or other heavy material as a stay when tacking to the woodwork.

Or make a similar pocket with a lapel at the top instead of a hem.

Fold or roll up in this the silver which is to be put away.

To Wash Silver. - To wash silver prepare suds with boiling water, in which dissolve about an ounce of hard white soap to a quart of water, and add a teaspoonful of soda. Into this put the silver pieces and boil them for a few minutes. Pour off the suds, pour over them clean boiling water, wipe them dry on a clean towel without draining, and polish with a piece of chamois skin.
