Let us suppose that you have a pair of white celanese rayon or nylon curtains that you wish to tint green. First be sure that the material is washable and clean. It’s a good idea too, to take the measurments of the curtains or any other article and write it'^down, then if there is any shrinkage, it pan be stretch­ ed. Make sure that there is plenty of hot water on hand—the hot­ ter the better! Be load the machine that is too heavy. Make sure that are thoroughly wet before be­ fore beginning the tinting process. A period of thorough agitating in the machine will do the trick. Next—prepare the dye solu­ tion, by dissolving the proper amount of the all purpose dye in a small pan of hot water. Heat i it on the stove to the simmering i point, but do not boil. L™ until the dye’ is completely dis­ solved. Next, strain the dye through fine guaze into the water in the washing machine. Straining will eliminate any possibility of small undissolved particles of dye streaking or spotting the fabric. Generally speaking, one to one and a half packages of all purpose dye will be required for each pound. In some instances, the depth of color desired will somewhat determine the amount —less for lighter colors, more of darkei' colors. Run the machine until the desired ed. Remember too always several when wet. After the dyeing cycle is completed, the material is rinsed thorougly in cool water. If a wringer machine is used the curtains should be lifted into the tub and rinsed three times in cool water.—rinsed un­ til the final rinse is colorless. Next—for removing the excess water, place the clothes in a clean cloth or towel and squeeze until all excess water removed.

In a few instances, this sizing or finishing compound is seriously affected by immersion in water, when such fabrics are put in water, you will notice they take on a crinkly, or streaky appear­ ance. Sharkskin, taffeta, faille and similar types of hard twist­ ed fibers—the hard finished ma­ terial—are of this group. While they will soak up the dye easily, the crinkles will soak up more dye than the rest of the mater­ ial and the finished result is an uneven effect.
