To Set Colours
Dear Aunt Daisy, I have bought some material for a frock and have heard since that the colour runs when washed. It is a white slub-linen with a very deep blue and green flower forming the pattern. One can see that the dye is very thicklooking .and I can quite believe that it would run into the white. : «M.A.," Onehunga. To set colours grate 2 medium potatoes as finely as possible. Add 2 cup vinegar and 1% cup salt.’ Stand all together for 10 minutes, then add a gallon water. Soak the new articles in this for 20 miriutes before washing as usual.
