Mulberry Stains
Dear Aunt Daisy, Here is a successful hint for removing stains. One afternoori I took my small daughter visiting. She was dressed in a new embroidered muslin frock sent by her granny from India-very sweet. Someone took her around the lovely garden, and returned her to me a mass of mulberry juice stains. However, another guest told me not to worry, but to put some sulphur in an empty cocoa tin, light it, and hold the stains over | the fumes, first wetting the garment. | This I did, and to my joy, all the stains disappeared. "Palmerston North." What a relief! The frock was white, | of course; I wonder if the sulphur fumes would take the colour out of a blue or pink muslin. Can anyone speak from | experience about this?
