Tennis Flannels.

If a little care is taken, tennis flannels can be laundered at home without fear of shrinking. The best way to make a soap solution is to cut the soap up finely and put into a saucepan with boiling water. Keep boiling until the soap is thoroughly dissolved and then stand aside to cool. From this jelly prepare your solution for the flannels and allow them to soak thoroughly before kneading and squeezing; on no account rub, as this destroys the soft surface.

When this water has become dirty put the flannels into another fresh warm solution and continue the same process of kneading, etc., and when clean rinse three or four times in warm water. Then shake well and hang out to dry in a good breezy, shady place.
