EFFECT OF WRAPPINGPAPERs ON DYES
1t has been found that wooden fabrics dyed
in aniline colors, particularly magenta,
have faded or changed color when wrapped
in whitepaper. Investigation has shown that
white paper prepared from rags, straw or
other materials that have been bleached with
chlorine, retains a portion of the chlorine
for some time after it is made. Aniline
colors are susceptible to the influence of
chlorine, and change their shade when in
contact with it, and even the exceedingly
small quantity of chlorine in sheet of
wrapping paper is reported to be sufficient
to change the shade Of dyed fabrics so that
the colors are disfgured and spoiled. To
avoid this difficulty it is recommended to
use blue wrapping papers for such goods,
as these papers are colored with ultramarine,
which tends to neutralize the effects of the
chlorine.-,ScriJner for October.

Dry goods and things are at their dearest.
Farewell, beloved-thou art free
\ fearful dearth of funds hath done it.
I'll keep thee ever in my heart
I'll put thee in my choicest sonnet;
These will l love-thcy little cost
Not SO Il Paris gown and bonnet!
And now We 20 divided ways,
Dead broke am-that's all too certain;

So now drop loves pretty theme,
And-so to speak-pull down the curtain.
