If we did not think so much of these splen
did blouses, and" know that they are far su
perior to theiverage, at their prices, we
would not advertise them as we do, for we
know that our patrons have faith in the
statements we make regarding our merchan
dise. .. '
Isn't this fact, in itself, a recommendation
of Welworth and Wirthmor?
are as enthusiastic over the
new shipment that comes each mek

Never, in all our Blouse-buying experience,

tv mmiest curtains
ar in uig laun
Lory
I USED to hang my dainty new curtains
wi!h a sigh, dreading from the begin
ning the ominous day when they would
have to be spoiled in the laundry.
Now I never give them a thought I
have found how easy it is to keep them
always fresh and new.
I wash them the modern way in pure Lux suds,
and with no rubbing. The dainty Lux flakes
dissolve instantly in hot water and whip up into
rich, pure suds. I souse the sheer lacey cur
tains in the foamy lather gently squeeze the
cleansing Lux suds through theoi again and again,
then take them out so clean and fresh, with not
a thread broken. '
-With Lux there is none of that old-time rub
bing to break and tear the sheer material there
are no particles of undissolved soap to cling to
the delicate threads through all the rinsings, and
coarsen and yellow them.
Try Lux for your laciest curtains for your
fragile laces and finest table linen. See for your
self how simple it is to keep them white and pure.
Your grpcer, druggist or department store has
Lux. Lever Bros. Co., Cambridge, Mass.
How to wash fine curtains
Shake the dust ctrefulljr out of the curtain, then let them
soak in clear, cold water for an hour to loosen the dirt.
Ue a tableipoonful of Lux to a gallon of water. Dissolve ia
boiline or vert hot water, and whisk into a thick lather. Pot
the curtains in and souse thoroughly. Squeeze the suds through
the fabric Da met rub. Rinse three times in clear, hot water,
and dry in the sun.
Silk and Colored Cartains should not be snaked. Wetia
cold water, then wash quickly in lukewarm suds, rinse three
times in clear, luke-wsrm water, and dry in the shade.
Us Lux far anything that pur water
alon won't injur
Even ia hard water Lux
makes wonderful suds.
