DYE EASILY MADE AT HOME
One of tho Best Of Preparations That
Can Not Hurt the Most Del
icate Fabric.

A cheap and good dye is made with
gasoline and tube paints. 1t will not
hurt the most delicate fabric. One
may secure any shade of color simply
by adding more or less paint to the
gasoline. For plumes, fine laces, etc.
take one quart of gasoline, and one
tube of paint the desired color Put In
only little OF the paint at first and
mix thoroughly. II the color Ia too
is secured If too deep add gasoline.
Test it by dipping in n piece of cloth.
Carefully place lace on n piece of mus
lin to dry. As 1t begins to dry take
needles and hold the lace in place,
stretching 1t evenly while damp. II
you discover n light spot apply more
color to that particular spot,
Garments that would be ruined with
old.fashioned dyes can be made to look
like new with this process. When
coloring plumes. hold them by the
stems and keep them moving in the
dye until they are thoroughly and
evenly colored, then shake them in the
air until the gasoline dries and the
feather becomes tiufry again. Be care
full not to use the gasoline near fire
or exposed light
