I This might be typical of the let-j ters to Santa' and while doing! your shopping, keep an eye on the hashing labels. Toy animals are now made with foam rubber stuffing that wash es as easily as your favorite foam pillows. The coverings of several on the market are completely washable. Here is how: 1. Wash in automatic washer on low, heat setting. Use a mild soap or detergent. 2. Set the temperature of dry er on low and fluff dry. 3. Brush to bring up nap, if necessary. Children’s clothes now bear the label "washable”. This saves on the number needed to fit the rap idly growing bodies and on clean-. . ing bills. ; The labels of some manufactur ers state: Wash in automatic washer with mild soap or deter gent. Dry in dryer. Remove be fore bone dry! This prevents set ting wrinkles and allow the ar ticle to be worn with little or no pressing. Corduroy, a favorite of Dad and the small fry, takes to the wash er and dryer with equal ease. Corduroy can be dried to the nearly damp stage and removed for wear without ironing. Many of the disciplined mate rials today are labeled with exact instructions for washing and dry ing automatically. Follow these instructions and Mom can have a Christmas present of extra time 265 days of the year while her family wears and plays with San ta’s well chosen gifts.
