First, prepare your discarded
nylon stockings for tinting by boil-
ing them fer about Cl) minutes in
bleaching water.
It is simpler rand more econom-
ical as well as more fun to adopt
the assembly-line technique by
waiting until you have collected
several pairs of old nylons before
embarking on your project, This
will save wrestling with bleach
water and dye-pots every time you
wish to whip up a posy.
After the stockings have been
bleached, drop one Into the hot dye
and boil until it reaches the desired
depth of shade. Repeat the process
with each stocking and color un-
til you have Obtained the required
number of shades. Don't forget to
dye one stocking green for the
leaves. Left-over liquid dyes can be
stored in glass containers so you
will be that much 'further ahead
next time.
The most professionals looking
results as well as the most deli-
cate or vivid tints are obtained from
sheer 15-denier nylon hosiery. Den-
ier Is the weight or thickness of
the yarn. Although 15-denier is
•very fine, since it is twice as sheer
as 30-denier which is a walking
sheer weight in hosiery, it is sur-
prisingly strong. Therefore, there is
no need, to worry whether the
bleaching and boiling will damage
the cobwebby yarns. You will also
notice that nylon dyes as easily
as it launders.
When it's time to form the petals
and leaves, unravel a strand Of
wire from the copper screening and
cut it into eight-inch lengths. Then
snip the dyed nylon into the shape
of a petal and stretch a square of
eolored fabric over It. Gather the
fabric together at the base of the
petal and fasten with wire.
When live petals have been com-
pleted it is time to make the centre.
Loop a three-quarter inch strip
from the heavier welt at the top
of the stocking which has been dyed
a contrasting shade and roll ist

and twist the short end around, the
pad, tying the fabric ends with the

tiny pieces of fabric from the
smooth top of the pad and it will
fluff up like a daisy centre.
NOW the blossom is ready to he

The rest of the expedition rode

his two guards isolated on the
lonely prairie. Bridger and Fitz-

Glass to die. But the tough front-

On the morning of August 24th,
