Bleach Before Dyeing
THE MODERN METHOD
Formerly before dyeing a gar- inent people used to have to ask, "What colour will it dye best?". Because in those days it was only possible to dye light things a darker colour. Now however, with a few exceptions, dark col- ours "can" be dyed a pale shade by bleaching them first, so people can choose
almost any colour they want.
Supposing a red material is to be dyed pale pink, or yellow, or any light shade, then it must be bleached first: If, however, red is to be dyed plum colour, blea ching is not necessary, ag`a navy dye will give the desired result, or if red is to be dyed scarlet. then a yellow dye must be used.
.
How to Use 'the Dyes Modern dyes dissolve very easily. The required amount of dye is put in an enamelled jug or pail, and hot water is poured on, and it is ready for use,
The advantage of having dyes - that 'dissolve so easily is that it does away with the danger of stray pecks of dark undissolved

dye appearing on the material.
After the garment has been- washed and the water wrung out, It is dipped up and down in the dye, nothing could be easler, în fact it is a case of "tins as you as you rinse," While doing this a pair of rubber gloves can be..
worn.

Hot, or boiling water always produces deeper colour than cool water so if the shade is too light all that need be done is to place the pafl of dye on the gas- and heat it a little until the cor- rect shade is obtained,
Dyeing Faded Curtains When curtains are faded it is much better to bleach them first. then they will take the dye evenly and look like new.
When dyeing several pairs it is 'best to have several dye baths all of the same strength, and to do a pair of curtains in each bath. It is fatal to have only one dye bath ready as in that case the first pair would take nearly all the dye and each successive pair would be paler than the last.

Puts the bits of left-over ham through a fine meat chopper. Brown the onion in a small amount of tat. Add the tomato sauce, ham and meat stock and simmer for about 30 minutes.

Macedoine of Mangoes
Ingerdidents:- ripe mangoes.
"a few glace cherrles, 1 or 2 pic-
tachio nuts, pint packet of jelly, tea-cups water, 2 table-spoons sherry.
Method:-Peel the mangoes, and cut the flesh of the stones in as even shaped pieces as pos- sible. Put these in a crystal dish with the halved glace cherries, and and the blanched and silced pistachio nuts. Dissolve the pac- ket of jelly in the three tea-cups. of boiling water. Then dissolve oz. gelatine in a little of this sherry and pour over the fruit. Serve when set; Any colour or flavour of jelly is suitable for this dish, but greengage which is coloured a pretty green is spe cially effective; instead of using. the packet jelly in this way with ripe mangoes, unripe ones may be substituted, and the syrup in which they were slewed used as a foundation for the jelly, In this case, for four people five or six mangoes will be required, prepare them in same way as above. Dissolve four table-spoons sugar in two lea-cups of water. Boil for five minutes thep add the mangoes and stew till tender. Strain off the liquid and place the margoes in a crystal.bowl. with the cherries and pistachio nuts, same as for the first macedoine. Add to the strained syrup the Juice of two limes, and two table- spoons of aherry. Make up the syrup with water to measure four small tea-cups of liquid in all, Dissolve oz. gelating in a little y this liquid (be sure and do not let it boil) and when slightly cool, stir into the rest of the liquid. When cold, but not in the least setting, pour over the fruit, and serve when set:
