Colours Which Have Run
This hint comes from "Sarah," who found it completely successtul in restoring an apparently ruined floral frock. Whether the colours "tan back" into their original places, or just camé out, Sarah didn’t know. Grate into a bowl one smallish potato, add a handful of ordinary salt (not iodised), and a cup of vinegar. Fill up the bow! with rain water -sufficient to immerse the dress, and put it in for half an hour or so. Then rinse thoroughly. I haven't any article with colours which have run, so cannot try this myself, but the Daisy Chain will be glad to receive comments from.people who use it.
