TO CLEAN SILK STOCKINGS.

Wash with soap and water; and simmer them in the same; put one drop

of liquid blue, into a pan of cold spring water, run the stockings

through this a minute or two, and dry them. For a pink cast, put one

or two drops of saturated pink dye into cold water, and rinse them

through this. For a flesh-colour, add a little rose-pink in a thin

soap liquor, rub them with clean flannel, and calender or mangle them.
