AS a rule very clear directions are
given on the dye package. but one
must use a little common-sense as
well.
For instance, all spots and stains
must be removed from the fabric to
be dyed. If delicately colored goods
that are stained are Immediately put
into the hot dye bath the result Is apt
to be hole, while grease spots will
become deep set with the boiling.
The consequence is, when dust
reaches the spots, ii settles there and
makes the garment look shabby.
Another thing the average amateur
does not know is that wooden goods
should not be allowed to boil as vio-
lentiy as cotton or linen fabrics. Less

Thorough rinsing is very necessary.
1t is better not to wiring the goods

cause them to dry in streaks. Dry

the sun the result will be an uneven
color.
Cotton and mixed goods absorb the
dye somewhat more slowly than wool.
so II these are allowed to cool In
the dye bath the result will be better.
Home dyed silks are seldom a suc-
cess. but the satin foulards dye well
and so do the heavier silks. Ribbons
