Use Food Colouring!
Dear Aunt Daisy, Will you please tell me a method of tinting a white frock cream? — J.D. (Waikato). Have you tried weak tea or coffee? Or would that shade be too browny? You could get a yellow dye and make it weak. A friend of mine experimented with Yellow Food Colouring-you know the three primary colourings are to be bought, and people blend them to make any shade at all for cake-icing or custards, or even for the "breadcrumb tlowers" which have been so popular. My friend tried it on an odd piece: of net curtain-a cupful of water, a teaspoon of salt and 12 teaspoon of Yellow Colouring boiled together. Test first with a piece of material as nearly as possible the same.
