feat Happens to the Shirt-Wakts.
The amount of faith which is exer
cised by the up-to-date young woman
in the matter of shirt waists, is indeed
remarkable. She will carefully guard
ber veil, her gloves, her toothbrush and
Through the courtesy
the Clarkson Laundry,
whose work is by far the best in the
city, we are enabled to give our readers
an idea of what happens to the shirt
waists during the time they are out of
their possession.
When the bundles are opened at the
laundry the owner's name and the num
ber of waists are recorded on a printed
slip. Next they are given a distinguish
ing mark, which is either placed on the
inside of the collar-band or on a small
tag fastened to the bottom of the waists.
When the waists reach the wash room
they are carefully sorted, and those
which would fade if washed by the ordi
nary process are washed by themselves
ia the softest of soft water, condensed
steam, and with a special colored goods
soap; the others are put into immense
washing machines consisting of two cyl
inders, one of which is stationary and
partly filled with soap and water; the
other, made of. slats between which the
water can pass and containing the
waists, revolves several fixes in the
water, then revereee its motion and con
tinues this process until the waists are
clean. Then the water is removed and
the rinsing and bluing water put into
the machine. Next, the waists are put
into a centrifugal drying apparatus
which is perforated in such a manner
that its rapid revolutions force the
water through the sides. Next they are
starched and put in the drying room;
when thoroughly dry, the waists are
rolled up in damp towels for half an
hour or more, after which the ironing
process is commenced. The collars and
cuffs are ironed with fa roller machine
which is run by steam. The sleeves and
bodies of the waists are ironed by hand.
The waists are then folded and sorted
into bundles, accordijg to the number
and marks which are recorded upon the
slips when they firet came into the
office.
We were especially struck with the
careful handling of the delicate, flimsy
waista of this year's design by the
operators and the perfect clearness
and whiteness of the white goods.
Died, on Monday. April the twenty
ninth, at the Presidio hospital in San
F.anciflco, Lieutenant Frank M, Polk of
this city, eon of Mrs. Eliza Polk, 1607 L
street. Mr. Polk was on bis way back
to his mother, sister and friends in Lin
coln. On the ocean passage he took
cold, and died of pneumonia soon after
landing. Mr. Polk volunteered as a
private two years ago when the army
was reorganized and more soldiavs were
needed in the Filipinos. His soldierly
qualities distinguished him from the
first. This letter from tbe colonel of
bis regiment written unsolicited when
be learned Lieutenant Polk's wish to
enter the regular army testifies better
than any outsider can, to the Lieuten
ant's faithfulness, ability and soldierly
qualities:
'Second Lieutenant, 39th Infantry,
U. S. A., has been under my command
and observation for the past fifteen
months, in camp, in garrison, in cam
paign and scout, on land and on sea, as
private, non-commissioned officer and
commissioned officer. He is a gentle
man in bearing and breediog. As an
enlisted man, his eagerness to serve
well, first attracted mv attention, and
later his zeal, ability and devotion to
duty, earned him his commission in his
regiment or my regiment. As an officer
he has been at all times full of honor
and duty and discipline. He has bad
the best of all teachers, experience in
caipand in field, in handling men.
And in the dutiea of supply and move
ment in the quartermaster's and com
missary departments, I heaitily rec
ommend him for appointment in the
United States army."

Colonel 39th Infantry, U S. V.
