again fifteen minutes. Make a new dye with two and one-half pounds logwood
(boiled one hour), and dip again three hours; add bichromate potash, two ounces,
to the logwood dye and dip one hour. Wash in clear, cold water and dry in the
shade. Only process for permanent black.
Sky Blue:--For three pounds of goods, blue vitriol, four ounces; boil a few
minutes, then dip the goods three hours; then pass them through a strong
lime-water. A beautiful brown can be obtained by next putting the goods through
a solution of prussiate of potash.
Green:--Dip the goods in home made blue; dye until blue enough is obtained to
make the green as dark as required; take out, dry and rinse a little. Make a dye
with fustic, three pounds, of logwood three ounces, to each pound of goods, by
boiling dye one hour; when cooled so as to bear the hand put in the goods, move
briskly a few minutes, and let lie one hour; take out and thoroughly drain;
dissolve and add to the dye for each pound of cotton, blue vitriol, one-half
ounce, and dip another hour. Wring out and let dry in the shade. By adding or
diminishing the logwood and fustic, any shade may be had.
Yellow:--For five pounds of goods, seven ounces of sugar of lead; dip the goods
two hours; make a new dye with bichromate of potash, four ounces; dip until the
color suits; wring out and dry. If not yellow enough, repeat.
Orange:--For five pounds of goods, sugar of lead, four ounces; boil a few
minutes; when a little cool, put in the goods; dip for two hours; wring out;
make a new dye with bichromate potash, eight ounces, madder two ounces; dip
until it suits; if color is too red, take a small sample and dip into lime-water
and choose between them.
Red:--Muriate of tin, two-thirds of a teacupful; add water to cover the goods;
raise to boiling heat; put in the goods one hour; stir often; take out, empty
the kettle, put in clean water with nic-wood, one pound; steep one-half hour at
hand heat; then put in the goods and increase the heat one hour--not boiling.
Air the goods and dip them one hour as before. Wash without soap.
Small Points on Table Etiquette.
Delicacy of manner at table stamps both man and woman, for one can, at a glance,
discern whether a person has been trained to eat well--i.e. to hold the knife
and fork properly, to eat without the slightest sound of the lips, to drink
quietly, to use the napkin rightly, to make no noise with any of the implements
