A Coffee Stain
Dear Aunt Vatsy, Recently I spilt a drop of coffee on a new blue crepe frock, and I would be very grateful if you could suggest how the stain could be removed. Enclosed is a sample of the material. "Sad Sue," Auckland, Try soaking the spot in glycerine first, for an hour or two-lay the spot over a thickly folded towel and make the place thoroughly wet with the — glycerine. Dampen it again, after it has dried, Then sponge the whole place with cool, sudsy water, and hope for the best. Rinse with cold, clear water. To help avoid a water mark, smooth out the moisture at the edges, so that it gradually merges into the rest of the material, Dry it as much as you can with a clean towel, and do not press till it is dry. If there is a resultant water-mark, you may need to datnpen the whole skirt evenly all over, before pressing-or place a dry cloth next to the material and a damp one ‘on top, and iron with a fairly hot iron. The steam will go through the dry cloth on to the material, without actually wetting it. —
