TO WASH AND STARCH LAWNS.

Lawns may be done in the same manner as the former, only observe to

iron them on the wrong side, and use gum arabic water instead of

starch, and, according to what has been directed for sarcenets, any

coloured silks may be starched, abating or augmenting the gum water,

as may be thought fit, according to the stiffness intended.
