Practical Home Helps

Fortunately for home dycrs there is
dye on the market that can be used for all
fabries-that Is. silk, wool and cotton may
all be dyed with this dye-so II a woman
is uncertain as to whether a material is a
mixture OF silk and wool, cotton and silk
all silk or all wool, It makes no difference
with this dye.
II you buy this dye It is necessary that
the garment to be recolOred shall be
cleaned before being put into the dye.
The garment TO be dyed must be washed
in hot water with plenty OF soap and ann
monia.
II any soap remains It Will interfere with
the dye.
In dyeing, the directions coming on the
package must be strictly followed. These
are usually sufficient for success, but there
may be one or two points which may have
been forgotten. For instance, dyes set
slowly in cotton and mixed goods, there
fore these fabrics should be allowed 70
cool in the dye bath.
Wooden fabrics should not be subjected
10 such violent dyeing as is essential for
silks or linen, for the reason that the
smooth surfaces and too violent boiling Is
apt TO injure the weaves.
Closely woven fabrics require longer
boiling in the dye pot than loosely woven
ones, because the dye penetrates more
slowly.
In rinsing, garments should be only
lightly wTung To wiring too light or too
hard IL likely to produce a streRked ap-

Women are beginning To complain Of the
monotony of the kimono sleeve, but really
there is no necessity for monotony. because
there are dozens Of variations Of this popu-
lar model.
The conventional kimono sleeve is, OF
course cut in one with the waist, the whole
being known as the peasant blouse. In
sheer or medium weight fabrics, such as
nets silks, etc, the material is usually
tucked before being cut, while in heavier
goods, such as velvet, velveteen. corduroy
and cloths, there is no attempt at fullness
is a mistake 70 believe that these two
styles only are de mode. The fussy kimono
sleeve is as fashionable as the plain style,
and so Individual taste in the selection OF
sleeve pattern for a new waist may be
exercised so an old fashioned Huse Will
pass as one OF the latest models.
Take the passe full puff elbow sleeve,
for instance. There are a dozen ways in
which this may be altered and at the same
time be up to date.
One suggestion Is to slash the sleeves
their entire length down the upper part of
the arms, taking out strip. This must be
filled in with strip Of velvet, silk or any
contrasting material cut in one. with a
shallow round yoke shaped to fit the shout
ders. At the lower edges the sleeves should
be finished with deep cuffs.
The slashed edges OF the sleeves should
be shirred down to the material inserted,
after turning them under to form headings,
and the top of the blouse must meet the
shallow yoke in the same way. This model
is equally attractive for a new or a reno
waited waist
Another variation also working both ways
is to tuck the sleeve TO fit the arm and
then add the contrasting material as before
suggested, holding down all edges with
rows OF tiny buttons.
A neat tailor stitching is the best Finish
for the edges.
Adding tiny bolerO Is another way of
varying the plain waist The body OF the
coat may be little more than a shallow

be used for this style. such as the fabric
