SILKS AND LACES IMPROVED
AS a Rule Color Obtained by Uniting
Is Not as Permanent as That
From Dyetng.

Sometimes, especially with light
colored silks and georgette crepe, it Is
convenient to give delicate tints by
some simple method. "Bluing' and
"pinking' are most often resorted to.
The United States Department Of Az
riculture find that, as a rule, the color
obtained by tinting is not so perma-
nent as that from dycing. There are
soap dyes on the market which may
be used for this purpose, or a tintins
water may be made by soaking col.
ored crepe or blotting paper, or by
mixing a few drops of coiored ink in
clear water.
A glass Of tinted water held to the
light will show about the same colcr
that it will give to the material. a
piece of red crepe wrapping paper
will easily impart enough color 10 n
basin Of water to restore a faded pink
crepe de chine waist to its original
shade. Violet or green ink or ordi-
nary bluing will act similarly. A
small amount of regular dye can also
be used without boiling to tint silks
The color Of deep cream or ecru lace
may be restored by tinting with tea.
Coffee is sometimes used, but it is less
desirable as it leaves an odor and
does not give SO clear a tint. A cheap
grade of black tea is good for tmtng
or leftover tea may be used.

STAYING AWAY
Expects to Accomplish Purpose
of Genoa Economic Confer
enCe in Own Way.
ADOPTS "TACTFUL PRESSURE"
DecIination of Invitation to Meet Is
Explained by High Government
OfficiaI--Other Nations to
Be Represented.

Washington, March II. - Refusal
Of the United States to participate In
the Genoa conference may be viewed
as the first step in a campaign of
"tactful pressure" to promote eco
homie rehabilitation of Europe, it was
said by high official of the American
government. 1t should not be re-
garded, this official said, as an indica-
ton of the United States desire to
hold aloof from the grave problems
confronting European nations.
Secretary Hughes note to Italy, con-
veying the declination of the United
States of the invitation to participate
in the Genoa meeting, should be inter
preted 1t was said, rather as an ex-
preston Of Americas willingness to
aid whenever 1t was felt that its aid
could be rendered effectively.
The United States cannot afford to
enter into a situation where the help
expected from it cannot be given,
officials explained adding that the
American government must be viewed
as holding the support in allegiance
until such a time as the European
nations get down to brass tacks'
in the matter of setting their houses
in order
Economic problems regarded by this
country as of supreme Importance in
the consideration of methods of world
rehabilitation include principally the
Encouragement of German reparations
and balancing Of budgets by certain
foreign nations.
With these questions unsettled in
the view of the United States it was
said there could be no practical at

the United States not TO participate
in the Genoa conference will not affect

ference as far as Great Britain is con-
cerned it was stated officially. II is
the British belief that the other ma
tions invited to attend the Genoa meet
