For TIE LADIEs.-As the season for wear
ing light colored fabrics is approaching, the
following method of preserving the colors in
washing these materials will be of interest. 1t
is from lady correspondent of an exchange,
who says she has never known it to fail:
II herewith send you an excellent method
for washing dresses of printed muslins, lawns,
&c., so us to preserve colors, whether the
pattern be printed in black or variega-
ted hucs. The dress should bo washed in
lathcr, and not by applying the soap in the
usual way-dircct upon the muslin. Make a
lathcr by boiling some soap and water together;
let it stand until it is sufficiently cool to use,
and previously to putting the dress into it,
throw in a handful of salt; rinse the dress
without wringing it, in clear, cold water, into
which little salt has been thrown; remove it
and rinse it in a fresh supply Of clear water
and salt. Then wiring the dress in cloth and
hang it to dry Immediately, spreading us open
MS possible, SO as to prevent ore part lying over
another Should there be any white in the
'attcrn, mix little blue in the water"

Let US revert once more to Wallace Timrod
We find him ut DR.. Thrasmas', still living :;
