yards long, finishing when hemmed and 

 shrunk about 2% yards or a little over. 



Afaking the bed. Spread lower sheet right 

 side up tucking in all round. Spread upper 

 sheet wrong side up with broad hem six inches 

 above top edge of mattress; tuck lower end 

 firmly under foot of mattress. 



Place blankets with even, open edges six 

 inches from head of bed; smooth downwards; 

 tuck in bottom, double edge firmly under foot 

 of mattress, then turn upper ^heet over blankets 

 at top, having at least twelve inches to cover 

 them well. Do not tuck in sides with metal beds. 

 The spread should be long enough to hang over 

 the lower foot rail of the bed and cover over all 

 to top edge of mattress. The puff or light 'com- 

 forter should match or at least harmonize with 

 the furnishings of the room, and may be placed 

 across the foot of the bed, folded twice length- 

 wise or folded sc|uare with one edge turned over 

 if preferred. 



If wooden bedsteads are used, sheets and 

 blankets may be tucked in at sides before spread 



is put on and tucked. Stand pillows nearly 

 erect. 



Opening hed at night. Turn spread one-half 

 over to foot of bed, then turn over foot piece of 

 bed, double. Fold over one corner of upper 

 sheet and blankets at top at right angles, on 

 the side from which bed is entered. If both 

 sides of a double bed are used, turn over both 

 corners at right angles. 



Air the ted in the nwrning. On rising, turn 

 upper bed clothes way over foot board, letting 

 them rest on a chair to save touching floor. Air 

 while dressing, and before lea^dng the room 

 turn lower sheet also over foot piece. Open 

 "windows top and bottom and air room well. 



The upper section of the mattress should be 

 turned in a different way each morning, and the 

 upper and lower sections should be reversed 

 twice a week, removing all the clothes for thor- 

 ough airing. The bed clothing should be soft 

 and light. It is not hygienic to sleep • under 

 cotton spread or heavy comforters. When pos- 

 sible let every huninn being sleep alone.
