Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 13, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 January 1911 — The Old Yellow Tint. [ARTICLE]

The Old Yellow Tint.

If an old yellow tint is wanted in a piece of white lace, rubbing it in powdered ochre with which cornstarch has been mixed to reduce it to the required shade, will do the work better than a bath in some liquid dye. To wet a piece of lace is to take away something of its new appearance, however skillful the treatment. If a deeper yellow is required, the ochre may he used clear or modified to suit with the starch. Persons who have tried the method say that if the ponder is thoroughly shaken out it will not rub off afterward.
