Pretty and Practical A small silk scarf wrapped around the neck and tied cowboy- style is pretty--and practical. It protects the neckline from perspiration and make-up stains and is easily washed. Squeeze it through warm soapsuds quickly. Rinse well and blot in a towel.

Drape one end over a hanger, and let the rest hang free. This prevents the fabric from "clinging" and colors from running together. When nearly dry, press with a warm iron.
