The Imperial Passepartout Frame, described on page 69, is sold by nearly all dealers in fancy goods and embroidery materials. If your local dealers do not keep these frames, and decline to order one for you, we will give you the name of a dealer who will supply you.
The Corticelli Doily Book, described on page 75, can be obtained in the same manner as the Imperial Passepartout Frame.
Caution in Washing Art Embroideries.
While we guarantee the dyes used for Corticelli Wash Silk are fast in color when ordinary care is taken in the laundrying, we cannot be held responsible for the result when even so small a quantity as a single skein of some other kind of silk has been used in connection with Corticelli Wash Silk to embroider any design. Needleworkers should use the greatest caution in this particular and avoid taking any chances.
In the washing be careful to use a good soap, like the Ivory, for instance, which is always satisfactory. "Washing powders," liquids, or chemicals of any nature should be let severely alone. Before beginning read the article by Mrs. Wilson on "To Wash Embroidered Linens," page 6. Mrs. Wilson gives some valuable suggestions which all our readers will be glad to profit by.
