TAR ON SILK STOCKINGS.
To remove a large splash of tar from a silk stocking, treat the stain with an organic solvent such as benzine, tetrachloride or xylene. Rub the stain thoroughly and then wash in hot water and soap. If the stain is very hard, rub a little lard into it as thoroughly as possible and leave for an hour or two so that the lard can soften the tar. Then give an ordinary washing. Repeat several times if necessary.
