1915 Housekeeper's Diary: February

This month's household wisdom from Flora Klickmann's 1915 book The Mistress of the Little House (previous posts here and here).

February

• "One of the great events of this month is the marmalade-making." - This makes me wish I liked marmalade! If you do, this is your month!

• Flora suggests milk for getting rid of ink stains - I'd never heard of this, but a quick google backs it up. According to Reader's Digest you soak the stain overnight in milk.

• And salt for red wine stains - This one is much more widely known, I guess wine stains are much more prevalent than ink stains these days!
