Keep it Clean

Dearest Mabel,

I'm beside myself. My youngest spilled grape juice all over my best white table cloth. What's the best way to get the stains out?

Hello Dearie!

I don't know how you figure that I'm a domestic, but I don't know beans about cleaning. Don't get your bonnet in a bunch. You might want to refer to Mrs. Penrod's Best Cleaning Methods published in 1908 or the Ladies Home Journal. Otherwise, I suggest you put that child on water and buy a new linens.
