has ever succeeded in producing. IL IL
only a fow weeks since she learned
the secret OF the clay. and at first she
exprimented with II very gingerly. She
tried II on locks OF hair that she cut
from different heads, and in every case
the same results occurred. The hair
was dyed to beautiful shade OF
brown. having a bright tinge, and was
darker or lighter. according to the
length OF time OF the application. Its
preparation Is a slow one. First II
must be ground into a mortar; next II
Is put through an SO-sievc, which
means a fine one; finally Il Ia sifted
through boiling cloth. The Jumps OF
hard red clay, which look very much
like adobe. come out from the boiling
cloth operation In the form OF a fine
powder. From this II has been found
that two kinds of dye can be made,
For one. the powdered earth Is simply
mixed with water until n becomes a
etlff paste. and there you are. For tho
other, the clay and water paste Il
baked until II turns an inly black.
The baked clay Is used for the darkest
shades OF dye. Never was anything
more simple than the use OF the dye.
