Just Dying To Try \
To Teach Women To
Dye Clothes eWIL
BY MEMORY M,coRp.

Now that DR.. Louis j. Matos has ar
rived from New York with his samples
or American made dyes and >dress-
goods, and we've taken peep into his
display room on the third floor Of
LoWenstein Brothers-what do we think
why they're simply marvellous.
Who'd ever have thought three years
ago when we were all going around
weeping and wailng over the poorly
dyed stuff we were forced to.wear, that
things would ever turn out so cheer
fully. You remember the stockings we
bought-those wash-me blacks that
afterwards turned brown and those
dom -sun-me blues. That was the dark
ages, Ell? Well, brace up, every cloud
you know, has colored lining and DR.,
Matos is ready now to make it airy
shade you wish.
derful materials on display, the lovliest
blues, reds, browns mixed shades, etc,
and, he's just dying to teach Memphis
women to know well-dyed materials
when they see them He represents
some sort Of q factory east that puts
ont dyed goods and he knows a lot lot
about them. That's the reason he
travels from city to city explaining
them.
You see, when Uncle Sam entered the
war, what America knew about the dy-
ing business-the making Of so-called
intermediates from raw materlalS-WaS
next to nothing. Mistakes we're bound
to occur and right from the beginning
American dyes got a black. eye. so. to
speak. Not that it was their fault
my goodness no--but few things are
perfect to begin with-and dyeing in
America certainly wasn't.
Few people know it-outside of the
business-but DR.. Matos says the most
important color in the rainbow-or out
of it's blue. the bright shade known
as "Alizarine Sapphire and i, took
the United States manufacturers ever
so much work and $S45,O00 to make IT.
Good American dollars used in a per-
fectly good national industry and it's
up to the American women to show
little appreciation, isn't it?
y Time was when we feared to buy a
new fall suit or nice spring blouse
but that's all past history. The only
coors of which we need still be wary
are some cotton goods which will have
to stand a great deal of laundering, and
DR.. Matos says chemists are even now
attempting to make these perfect. We
have already dyeing process, he said
Monday "and it won't be many days
before we surpass them"
