TRANSFORMING LAST SEASON’S FROCKS TO THIS SEASON'S COLOURS Fashion has decreed that' for the coming season, Canary Yellow, Cornflower . Blue and Jade Green are to be among the “wanted” colours, and quite naturally materials in these colours are exclusive and highpriced. But ladies need not necessarily pay these high prices to obtain the very latest colours, as they can quite easily dye a garment at home to the fashionable shade required. All the new colours can be made by a careful blending of two or more standard shades in suitable proportions. For instance, if one mixes three cakes of Nadco Navy Blue Dye with one cake of Black, you get a beautiful shade of Midnight Blue. Two cakes of Pink and one cake of Yellow, will produce a beautiful Peach colour, which even an . unimaginative person might use with good effect both in the wardrobe and the home. Other Fashionable H Shades Cornflower Blue is made by mixing four cakes of Light Blue, three-quarters cake of Heliotrope and a quarter cake Purple; while to get Jade Green you simply mix onequarter cake of Light Green to one-eighth cake of Yellow. And so on, through all the becoming and attractive early summer shades which one sees in the fashionable shops, such as Rouge Red, Canary Yellow, Henna or Primrose Pink. Don’t imagine there is any difficulty in producing these fashionable colours. If you use Nadco Dyes as directed — can get them in 1/- packets at all storesyou will make your first dyeing experiment a success quite easily. With Nadco Dyes there are no stained hands or • utensils, and what makes the operation so simple is .that the one dye will colour any material, whether it is composed of wool, cotton or silk. Dye Takes -Evenly in All Fabrics This means that there need be no unpicking of materials —the . whole garment, just as it is, can be immersed in the dye bath, and it will come out true and . even to colour in every detail.

Experiment with a blouse, a pair of light stockings, a loose cover or a schoolboy’s coat. • You will , be surprised at what you can do, and how easily you can transform your clothes to . the new season’s colourings at a very trifling cosh ■ ' .
