was waiting for the man who could
drill that would not fade.
One of the youngest officers became
interested. Together with skillful
dyer he began systematic search for
an unfading olive dye, something that
would yield no shade of color when
the cotton dye was subjected to soap
or soda. But many years did the two
spend in useless experiment.
One day at the bottom of hundred
similar little scraps they happened
upon one which somehow retained its
color under the most severe tests. The
puzzlin 8 part'pt Niwas that this scrap
had been taken from piece Of cloth

that had been subjected to the same
process, yet was faded. For a long
while the two attempted to solve the
mystery-in vain. This one little bit of
cloth was the only one which with
stood all attacks.
Finally by the merest chance they
came upon the explanation. The dye
in which this scrap had been dipped
had remained for long time In q
metal dish Of peculiar kind. The
metal of the dish had furnished what
the chemicals lacked They made the
experiment again in this particular
dish. The dye held, and the fortune
was made.

To wash knitted or crocheted shawls
fold them as fiat as possible and lay
carefully in pillow case run through
