Among the many aids to learning The
art of dyeing is one of the most import
ant, as it is the chief dependence of re.
storing and making over faded wearing
apparel, writes Mrs. L. r. Parker. That
the art is very old may be proven by ref
erence to the Scripture. To the splendor
aud beauty OF color of the priestly vest.
ments we have the testimony of the
sacred historians in these words: "And of
blue, and purple, and scarlet they made
clothes OF service to do service in the
holy place, aud made holy garments for
Aaron as the Lord had commanded
Moses "And he made the ephod of
gold aud blue and purple and scarlet and
fine linen" Thus, showing that tho
ancient Israelites had al intimate knowl-
edge of the existence OF rich colors.
The art of dyeing seems to have been
we'll understood by tne people of Asia,
and it would seem that the sentiment of
color took precedence of that OF form
with all oriental Nations.
While dyeing seems to have been an
art of great antiquity, it has always been
regarded as difficult one, and the work
of professional dyer. Ii attempted at
home, either with barks aud roots, OF
liquid dyes, it was almost always fail

so much labor that few women were dis
posed to undertake it. But the recent

boats was about south by west OF Sable ISL

All doubt as TO the fate oil the Nsronic has
been dispeilei by tbs sighting of her life
