Indelible Pencil
Dear Aunt Daisy, Would you please come to my rescue again. Last year you told me how to get cod liver oil and gentian violet stains out of baby’s napkins and they are now as white as ever. I didn’t bother much about the gentian violet as it came out after a few washes with hot soapy water, My trouble this time is that my. daughter has got indelible pencil on the skirt of a fawn velveteen frock. I haven’t touched it, as I was afraid of setting the colour. The frock cannot be worn as it is and it is almost
new.

Try soaking the stain with hypo, Put clean blotting paper or a folded towel under the stain and dab and mop the stain with cotton-wool soaked in hypo. Don’t spread the stain by rubbing, but dab it, so that the colour will go through on to the blotting paper before it has time to spread. Change blotting paper and cotton-wool as they get _ soiled. About %40z. of hypo dissolved in ¥2 pint of lukewarm water.
