Supposing a red material is to be dyed pale pink, or yellow, or any S light shade, then it must be bleach- ed first. If, however, red is to be dyed plum colour, bleaching is not necessary, as a navy dye will give the desired result, or if red is to

be dyed scarlet, then a yellow dyę|

How to Use the Dyes

Modern dyes dissolve very easily,

The required amount of dye is put

10 in an enamelled jug or pail, and

11hot water is poured on, and it is 11 ready for use.

The advantage of having dyos 15that dissolve so easily is that it

does away with the danger of stray; specks of dark undissolved dyej appearing on the material.

After the garment has been washed and the water wrung out, 13 it is dipped up and down in the 14|dre, nothing could be easier, in fact it is a case of "int as you Brinse." While doing his a pair of

rubber gloves can be worn.

Transformed Frocks.

It is not only for daytime that the appearance of a costume can be transformed. This obviously great advantage is also shown at Patou's for evening: A robe de bridge in black crepe marocain with a long pleated skirt and half sleeves has a laque red leather belt and a red bow tie. The back is made of a square bib of red material and simply buttoned un- der the tie and at the belt. When removed it reveals a bare back and thus enables the wearer to pro- duce an evening dress without forcing her to go home and change.

This practical idea appears another dreaa in the same collec- tion where two long white atto-
