Mend Silk With Ravelings.

Silk dresses that are so apt to get three-cornered tears are best mended with their own ravetings, as thread is differently twisted. Carefully ravel out threads long enough to sew with. Draw the tear together, then darn neatly, lay a paper over and presß with a heavy Iron not too hot. This is almost invisible.
