WOMA N’S PAGE. | “ Home Dyeing Methods OME dyeing attracts women for different reasons. Some- times it is the fact that a garment has lost its color ®und charm that tempts you to try pour hand at dyeing; sometimes the hope of changing a color you never €id like; and so om, through a long et of desires. Have you a desire for a dyed lace €Gance dress of a shade that seems to Ve only in your mind? Have you cur- tains or other furnishings you wish 10 change in color? Weil, home dy suz will solve the problem for you. Follow a few rules faithfully and Jou cangot fail in the work. The dirst of these is—do not try to dye a wotton and silk fabric with dve that i~ intended for cotton only, and do vot try to get a shade with balf the wuantity of dye that is recommended 3or the purpose. There are various Kinds of dyes Lo be bought. There are powder dyes ©nd soap dycs, dves that simply dve, and dyes that also wash. Some dyes @re made expressly for wool or silk ov cotton. Some will color all three #it once. There are fast dyes, and where are tints. Some dyes require Loiling, and others do not. With so many kinds to choose from, there really is no reason why Jou should not find just the kind of dye that will accomplish exactly what you wish, but don’t forget to Vegin ‘on something small and test @ sample in a little of the dye before Jou_immerse the entire garment, When begiuning the work. first Le surc that you have a receptacly large enough “to hold the material or garment to be dyed. An alu- ninum or white enamel receptacle is st for the work. See that your dye thoroughly dissolved. If you use + soap dye, it should be shaved or cut fine before it iz dissolved. This 1% to prevent undissolved bits of dye vemaining, which might spot the material. Althawgh Tully the you must follow faith- directions given with the dye you are using, If you want a «arker or a lighter shade than the e the directions produce, use more or less dye. just as you wish. If vou are bofling material in a dye bath, stir it constantly, so that all the Eurface will be peneteated, and etir it under and over, not around and around. Otherwise, vour materfal may dve uneveniy. The material must be clean to take the dye. It you use a soap dye, the cleansing is done in the dye bath. Dirt and xrease resist dve, so that the dve cannot do_its work well until th are removed. Boil gently and rinse Ringe as long as there is any dye ming out in the rinse water material will absorb just so much of the dve. The surplus dye must be msed off or the material will erock.

Thus the curtains can be made to conform to any de- sired color shade. Cheesccloth, when dyed in suitable colors, makes pretty and inexpensive curtains. Hemmed bands or borders of striped or other suitable material add a decorative effect. Dark green, trimmed with a stripe in an orlental design and col- oring, makes a very pretty curtain. You can take cheesecloth or un- bleached sheeting, which may be any old material, such as old sheets, from which Dpieces of suitable size can be cut for curtains, and dye them in any desired shade. White cotton. dipped in a ‘deep brown dye and afterward in a deep green dye gives a beautiful gray green color.

Grapefrult has two of the known vitamins, Its mineral salts are abundant and sodlum, which helps to maintain the blood in the proper state; phosphorus, a £alt that is pres- ent in every living cell, and potas- Sium, another important mineral The juice of the grapefruit makes a dellcious addition to any list of fruit juices. It is refreshing and very wholesome, unless for any reasén an individual has been forbidden to eat fruit acids.
