ting shades of pink or red. The
proportions are one-half cup to one
gallon of water.
For very deep dark eolors of all
kinds alum may be used in proper
tion of one tablespoon to one gal
Ion of water.
Green requires an even stronger
rcagent, and with this color sugar
of lead in the proportion of one
tablespoon to one gallon of water
is most effective. One should, IF
course, remember that this sub
stance is poisonous, and take pre-
cautions in its use.
Epson salts in the same proper
tion is a good mordant to use for
almost any color.
Whatever the substance used the
cloth should remain in the solu-
tion for several hours at least, and
over night is better. Tho entire
garment should be covered with
the solutions Plain goods may be
allowed to lie in folds, but checks
stripes and plaids or figures should
not touch each other.
The material should be removed
