"Never patch a garment just before

Of a young woman in Il dyoing estab-

thread it IS sewcd on with are exactly
the same kind Of material as the gar
ment they viii come out Of the dyi
pot different shades. Here is blu,
skirt that was brought to US creau
colored The cloth had worn through
in several places, and the owner had
patched the tiny holes so painstaking
iy that the patches could not be de
tected In the original color. but after
the dyeing they showed up a darhei
blue. The amount Of dye any ma
terial win take depends upon how
much cotton, wool or silk II contains.
It is so hard to determine that exactly
that any garment that has to be mead
ed can be matched much better after
