HOUSEHOLD HINTS
When dyeing any garment black, use one packet of navy dye to every two packets of black dye. You will obtain far better results than if you used only black dye. When crocheting edges on underclothes, it is much more economical to crochet the edging on to a wide tape. It can then be used several times. To remove mildew from material, damp the damaged part, rub with soap and sprinkle with fine chalk. Expose to the sun. It may be necessary to repeat this process as mildew is a difficult stain to remove.
