 COLORS
YOUR TYPE SHOULD WEAR
cAre you blonde, a brunette,
auburn haired —or the
versatile in-between type 7

Nature has given you the key to your most entrancing color har-
monies. It is for you to work out your own symphony by letting
color express your individuality—your varying moods—the tempo
of your life.
A cool, gray-eyed blonde becomes a princess in silvery blue—a
sorceress in shadowy green—a fairy child in delectable hydrangea.
The brunette with smoldering eyes and raven tresses strikes an
exotic note in black and white, only if her skin is colorless. This
‘same type with heightened color is alluring in warm rose—gorgeous
in deep peach—flaming in scarlet. |
For auburn hair there are many cautions—but nature's own gen- |
erosity compensates for these restrictions. The girl with hair like |
burnished copper is wise to make it her crowning glory—wearing .
complementary shades of brown—dark blue or black. Clear white
may be worn for contrast. |
To the joyous, vivid brown-haired maiden many colors are flatter-
ing. Her type is youth—to be developed in ruddy browns, tawny |
yellows, gleaming greens and brilliant blues. Hers is the privilege |
to be a ‘golden girl’’ if heruse of beige tones in with this royal metal.
The charm of color enables you to maintain your individuality
|a
among your smart companions. |

 THE CHARM OF COLOR
1s not expensive

With Putnam Fadeless Dyes color costs so little and works such
wonders that you cannot afford to forego its charm—and the same
package can be used for all materials and purposes. :
Among the loveliest fabrics nowadays are mixed weaves—silk and
wool crepes—cotton and linen mixtures. In garments, silk is trimmed
with linen lace, wool with silk velvet, cotton with linen, etc. Any
and all of these combined fabrics can be successfully dyed or tinted in
one operation with the same package of Putnam Fadeless Dye—the
original one-package dye for all materials and purposes. |
Putnam Fadeless Dyes make dyeing a pleasant and interesting ac-
complishment. The colors they produce are clearer and brighter.
| Unlike soap dyes and other messy
mass substances, they leave the
hands as stainless as pure water.
They are the simplest and easiest to
y handle of any household dyes—
fy can be dissolved and used in less
time than it takes to properly pre-
pare soap or mass dyes. Moreover,
/ one package of Putnam will color
_ two or three times as much mate-
rial. For best results test a small
piece of the material to decide on
the shade desired. _

[4]
 WISDOM WITH WOOLENS
ae

A serge or tweed suit, coat or dress seems old because your friends
are familiar with its color. With Putnam Fadeless Dyes, it is easy to
give them the season’s smartest shade. No need to rip them apart if
alterations are not necessary. :
Woolens should be taken from the dye-bath into water as hot as
hands can stand, with plenty of soap dissolved in water. Then rinse
in three clear, lukewarm waters. This leaves them nice and fluffy;
prevents a great deal of shrinkage; also prevents wrinkles which are
hard to press. out. 7 |
After dyeing, goods must be pressed before thoroughly dry. This
will save hard pressing. The best way is to lay acloth on goods, take
a wet sponge and dampen the center of cloth, then press on damp
spot. 7
Note.—Some woolen material is tendered by boiling and small holes appear if kept
boiling too long. This is caused by the boiling water only—not by the Dye or
Bleach. Itis, therefore, advisable to test the material first by boiling in clear water
for thirty minutes. If this does not affect the material you may rest assured that
Putnam Fadeless Dye or No-Kolor Bleach will not harm the fabric. All extra
heavy or loosely woven woolens require two or three times as much dye. ©

Sweaters
Sweaters require from two to three times
as much dye as ordinary cloth.
Like all knitted garments, they will keep
their shape better if tied in a large, thin
cheesecloth bag for dyeing. When drying
do not wring, but spread on a table or
floor, and use an old, soft rag to absorb the
excess water by patting it thoroughly,
wringing out the rag and patting again.
Stretch garment into natural shape on floor
or table and allow to remain in this posi-
tion until completely dry, :

[5]
VELVET
RESPONDS IMMEDIATELY
to the charm of new color
It is not enough that personal beauty be coldly served in the matter
of fabrics and colors. It must be treated sympathetically in order to
express magnetic personality. : |
Velvets may be always rich and elegant in appearance but they re-
quire color to impart an effect of startling smartness.
In the process of dyeing velvets with Putnam Fadeless Dyes, a
wonderful awakening takes place in the material.
After dyeing, velvets should be thoroughly rinsed in clear water,
but never wrung dry. Press gently between the handsand a soft cloth
to remove all water possible. Let the velvet hang as straight as pos-
sible until all water has dripped away, then steam with nap up over
a hot iron until dry. If nap does not respond entirely, use a soft brush
the wrong way of the nap. |
For wonderful effect in crushed velvet, wet the fabric and crumple
tightly in the hands, allowing the velvet to remain in this position
until dry.

[6]
THE SCIENCE
OF SILKS AND SATINS
It is the lustrous color of silk that accents the feeling of romance and
of fashion. An artistic eye and a little Putnam Dye will keep your
party frocks as fresh and smart as Paris models. These dyes are par-
ticularly effective on silks and satins.
However, caution is needed in handling silks, as some silks, when
manufactured, are weighted with a metal mordant to give greater
lustre. Eventually this rots the fibre so that if silk is put into boil-
ing water, small holes will appear. This is caused by the boiling
water, not by the dve or bleach. Therefore, it is advisable to test a
small piece of the silk by boiling in clear water for thirty minutes.
[f this does no injury, you may rest assured that Putnam Fadeless Dye
or No-Kolor Bleach will not harm the fabric.
Silks known as ‘‘tub silks’’ are guaranteed to be washable. These
you can dye with perfect safety. When buying other eo it is best
to ask if a guarantee can be given.
After dyeing, rinse in clear water without soap. Never wring silk,
but hang on the line dripping. Excess moisture may be removed by
patting with a soft, dry cloth. Before material is quite dry, iron tt
on the wrong side with a thin cloth over it to keep the iron from
direct contact with the.silk.
Note.—Pongee (or wild silk) requires twice as much dye as other silks and should
boil 20 minutes after salt has been added to the dye-bath. Do not attempt to dye
pongee silk black, but all other colors can be used. Silk fibres are very tender and
care should be taken when dyeing all silks not to boil them too vigorously.

Rayon
This is an artificial silk; it takes the dye perfectly but must be
handled carefully in the dye- -bath, as it loses its strength when wet
but regains its original strength when dry. |
Celanese
This is a new artificial silk and will not |
take colors satisfactorily except with our
special Celanese dye. This special dye will
not color any other material. 15 cents per
package. Write us for desired quan-
tity and colors and information on
how to .use it. Test: Burn a fibre
and if the ash forms a hard ball it 1s
Celanese.

 THE PorcH MADE COLORFUL
AS A GARDEN
Adventures in home beautifying begin delightfully with the porch or |
sun-parlor. Reed furniture is made gay with colored cushions and
upholstery. The porch becomes a garden spot blooming with colors
that rival the flowers.

‘YOUR | ae
\ HomME A LIVING PICTURE
Whether you live in a mansion or a cottage, your home is the back-
ground for your personality. It is just as important to you as the
artistic setting of any picture. You need not have around you any- |
thing drab, dingy or faded. With the proper use of color, you bring
vitality into the living picture of your home. Anything and every-
thing can be transformed into a symphony of harmonious color tones
with the aid of Putnam Fadeless Dyes.
In working out a color scheme it is
well to insure first of all the harmony
of walls, woodwork and furniture. The
floor may contrast sharply but ina tone
that is in accord with the walls or
woodwork. Draperies, shades,*cush-
ions and upholstery provide opportu-
nities for the vivid touch of color.
Even in the kitchen, color lends
enchantment to the modern home. A
cheerful kitchen is an inspiration and
improves the appetite. Work becomes.
a pleasure in such attractive surround-
ings.

CHILDREN

For proud mothers the prob-

lem of keeping the romping,
fast-growing youngsters
oe : looking well is solved with |
Putnam Fadeless Dyes. Fresh color in a dress for sister is often as good 4
as a new dress—younger sisters become happy in their “‘hand-me- |
downs’’ when they are bright and new looking after a transforma-
tion by Putnam Fadeless Dyes. Mother’s and Dad’s suits and coats.
make sensible school clothes for those boisterous brothers. And if
the garments fit the next-in-line it is not necessary to rip them apart
to dye them, as Putnam Fadeless Dyes color all kinds of material and
every part of the garment uniformly in one operation.

NURSERY RUGS
The old Colonial fashion for rag rugs
is a style that never goes out. All the
material that has found its way to
the scrap heap may be turned to good
advantage by cutting into strips, col-
oring with Putnam Fadeless Dyes and
weaving into plain or geometric pat-
terns in rag rugs. These rugs are es-
pecially practical for the nursery,

SO EASY
TO DYE
with

PUTNAM FADELESS DYES

and always successful
What are a girl’s chances for pleasure if she feels that her clothes are
not smart—becoming—fresh and colorful—if they do not help her
to make the most of herself?
Color gives the look of luxury without the cost when you use
Putnam Fadeless Dyes.
The same package serves for all areal and purposes. It goes
farther, dyes better and color lasts longer because it 1s more highly |
concentrated . Requires no rubbing or messy handling. Leaves the
hands stainless.
Material to be dyed should be thoroughly eeanect ml soap and
water before dyeing—all soap removed carefully, also grease spots.
The process of dyeing with Putnam Fadeless Dyes is as simple as
washing. If directions are followed exactly, results are sure to be
satisfactory. But if anything should go wrong, write us, enclosing a
sample of the dyed material. We will send you detailed instructions
for correcting the mistake without any charge.

Se
 DIRECTIONS FOR DYEING
Use any vessel (except galvanized) large enough to
hold sufficient water to cover the goods without
crowding, and so that material can be moved
around easily. Heat water slightly and put in the
dye; stir until thoroughly dissolved.
BE SURE THAT THE DYE IS COMPLETELY DISSOLVED.

Now, when water is warm, not hot, put in the

goods, which have been washed, rinsed and are
still damp. Stir constantly, bring to boil and boil
2 20 minutes.. Remove goods and add salt to the dye-
bath, using two large handfuls of salt for each
gallon of water in the vessel. (Do not use iodized
salt.) Stir until salt is thoroughly dissolved. Return
the goods to the vessel, stir and boil 10 minutes.
After dyeing rinse in cool, clear water several
times until the water wrings out clear. Press
while still damp.

IMPORTANT
~ for Perfect Results
Never use a galvanized vessel, nor water that has
stood several hours in a galvanized container, as
chemicals used in galvanizing affect the dye.
SPOTTING AND STREAKING in dyeing is.due
to no fault of the dyestuff, but is always caused by
faulty manipulation on the part of the dyer, and is’
due either to crowding the goods into too small a
vessel, using too little water, entering the goods
before the dyestuff is thoroughly dissolved or fail-
ing to stir goods properly.
To avoid spotting use a very large vessel, with
lots of water, so the goods will float around and
not crowd down closely together. Lift and stir
goods constantly—never allow the goods to remain
any time on the bottom of the dye pot. Remove
all grease spots before dyeing. Wash well with
warm, soapy water; rinse thoroughly. Unless spots
are completely removed before dyeing the goods -
will show spotted after dyeing.

[13]
 To GET THE RIGHT COLOR
~The amount of dye recommended in the directions is for ordinary
goods of medium weave. Different materials require various propor-
tions of dye. Sweaters, loose-woven and heavy, thick woolen ma-
terials require two to three times more dye. If a shade is not dark
enough, add more dye. Remember—all colors are darker when wet.
The quantity of dye and the length of time goods remain in the
dye-bath are the only factors determining the shade. More or less
water does not affect the color. Color is due to the affinity of the dye
for the goods, and water is necessary only in order to give equal dis-
tribution of dye to all parts of the material. ;
Old color in goods will affect the new shade, and must be consid-
ered in selecting dye. (See chart for overdyeing, on inside back cover.)
Never attempt to color a light shade over a darker one.
BLACK. When dyeing Black over Green, Brown or Yellow, add
one package of Navy Blue for each package of Black used. When
dyeing Black over Red or Purple, add one-half package of Olive
Green for each package of Black used, otherwise the old color will
affect the shade. If too much Black is used, material will have a
brownish shade; wash material thoroughly with soap and rinse in
clear water to remove the excess dye.
One of the best plans in coloring over old colors is to dye your
goods a darker shade of the same color. For example: You have a
light brown garment of which you have grown tired; you can easily
dye this a dark seal brown and run no risk of spoiling your goods by
a bad mixture of colors,

 YOUR DAINTIEST SELF
Of all a woman's charms, daintiness is most alluring. Live up to
your daintiest self with the simple means of Putnam Tinting. The
easiest way is to make the Tinting fluid as described on page 21.
Delicate shades of the essentially feminine garments are beautiful
only as long as they are fresh. Keeping them fresh by retinting with
Putnam is no more trouble than laundering.
Your fluttering, frilled summer dresses, diaphanous negligees and
fragile blouses will respond wonderfully. It is like having clothes
perpetually new when these garments keep their color. |
And every intimate article
can be just as fresh as the out-
side. Enjoy your silk under-
weat many times as long (and
it will wear just as well) by re-
storing color as fast as it fades.

The ‘‘well-dressed bedroom’ ’

The vogue for delicately

sheets need not be regardedas
an extravagance. It adds an
extremely chic and attractive
color note to the room and
is simply a matter of tinting
whatever white linens you |
have on hand.
Crepe: de. chine bed sets

Putnam Tinting Fluids are

BATHROOM HARMONIES
Even the modern bathroom must have its share of the charm of color.
A room long neglected, it is now not only spotlessly sanitary but a

 Hosrery HuES
Now that fashion has imposed such rigorous demands upon hosiery
—especially the decree for color harmony with the ensemble—it is
particularly interesting to know how easy it is to keep even the
sheerest web of chiffon tinted exactly the required shade.
Buying the correct shade is only the beginning of fashion. Even
the best makes have been known to develop a distressing off-color
cast after laundering.
It is becoming the custom among those versed in chic to rinse the
hosiery every time it is washed in water tinged with the tint desired.
The use of Putnam Tinting Fluid makes this a very simple and
- practical plan. The fluid can be made in a moment’s time and kept
bottled on the bathroom shelf. This assures getting exactly the same
shade each time the hosiery is tinted.
Another clever idea practiced by the fashion-wise is to buy white
hosiery and tint it. This is especially helpful when you want to
match shoes of unusual color.

Color is as important to the
children’s wardrobe as to their
elders’. It requires more care
to keep the light shades that
are so becoming to them look-

problem is, however, easy to
solve with Putnam Tinting
Fluid. Used like blueing in
the rinsing water, it is asmall

The results will charm you,
and the children will enjoy
greater freedom in romping
without fear of a warning to
be careful of their clothes.

& NEW JOYS FOR
\ MOTHERS’ PRIDE
Tinting gay little rompers and play
suits of all kinds, as well as the doll-
like crepe de chine dresses, coats and
bonnets of the infant world, is fun to
do with Putnam Tinting Fluids. Gar-
ments that seemed so unjustly perish-
able are thus transformed into a source
of long satisfaction. Mothers who
are happiest when they hear “‘what a
darling-looking child’ in reference
to their own, will find their joys mul-
tiplied by as many garments as they
keep new looking with Putnam cold-
water dyeing,

[ 20]
 THE SIMPLER WAY OF TINTING
Tinting is really “‘cold-water dyeing.’’ For producing beautiful
pastel tints without boiling, the Putnam method is unequaled. It
requires no injurious rubbing nor messy use of a mass dye substance.
It is simpler and cleaner than the use of soap dyes, crepe paper, ink
and all such substitute methods. The goods, after soaking for a few
minutes in the solution of Putnam Dye, comes out a rich, gleaming
color that will last for several washings.
_ Instead of having to prepare a tint with steaming hot water each
time you use it, make Putnam Tinting Fluid once and for all and use
it indefinitely just as you would blueing (a few drops in the rinsing
water). |
Dissolve a package of Putnam Dye in about a pint of boiling water
and bottle it. Presto! All trouble is finished. © :
The depth or intensity of color obtained in the tinted garment will
depend upon quantity of dye and length of time the article remains in
the solution. For light colors, soak only a few minutes.
The other way of cold-water tinting is to put a pinch of the dyes
into the rinsing water, stirring with the hand until thoroughly dis-
solved, and dip the garment in the same manner until the desired
shade is obtained. oS
In both cases, after removing the goods, wring out gently and
wrap in a bath towel until ready to iron. 2

Directions for Bleaching :

Use any kindof vessel (except galvanized) large enough to hold

cleansed in soapy ‘water to remove all dirt and grease before
bleaching. When the water is warm (not hot) add one cupful of
vinegar for each package of No-Kolor Bleach used, add No-Kolor
and stir until dissolved. (If solution is cloudy, the powder is not
fully dissolved; add more vinegar until dissolved and solution is
clear.) Put the goods into the bleaching bath, lift and stir con- :

will not injure, but boiling water does tender
some materials. Occasionally, a color will be
found that cannot be bleached, but these in-
stances are rare. No-Kolor will remove fruit

 SAVING ON CLEANER’S BILLS
Many people are under the impression that dry cleaning is simply
washing the goods in gasoline or naphtha, which is wrong. Washing
articles in gasoline or naphtha alone would be just like washing any-
thing in water without soap—very little dirt would be removed.
Add a little Putnam Dry-Cleaner to the gasoline or naphtha and the
mixture will have cleaning qualities that will give you results as
good as a professional can produce. |
No need of previous experience to use Putnam Dry-Cleaner success-
fully. Just be sure to follow the cautions outlined. The method is
simple—safe—satisfactory. Renews the lustre and prolongs the life of
clothing. Putnam Dry-Cleaner is a soap-like substance, soluble in
gasoline or naphtha, and acts in these chemicals as ordinary soap acts
in water. If whole garment is soiled looking, cleanse it in gasoline
or naphtha and Putnam Dry-Cleaner; then rinse in clear gasoline or
naphtha. Use enough gasoline or naphtha to cover the article to be
dry cleaned, adding the Putnam Dry-Cleaner as instructed. Wash the
garment thoroughly in this, then wring, and rinse in clear, clean
gasoline or naphtha. | | |
Articles should be dry cleaned away from any fire or flame, and garments
hung out in the open air on a clear, dry day for evaporation of the odor of
gasoline. :

[ 24]
 Facts ABOUT Dry-CLEANING
Spots caused by syrups or starches have to be sponged carefully on the
wrong side with a cloth dipped in warm (not hot) water, after the
article has been dry cleaned in gasoline or naphtha. To prevent water
rings around the spot, place the outside of the article down on a
thick, soft cloth, stretch it as much as possible, and begin on the out-
side edge of the spot, carefully sponging toward the center. This
causes the substance to be gradually worked out from the center of
the spot, thereby leaving no rings in the goods afterwards. Water
spots cannot be removed by the dry-cleaning process. Neither can
perspiration stains and circles. These must be sponged out with
water. ;
Your problem of keeping the fashionably light-colored articles in
your wardrobe fresh and clean is solved without trouble or expense. —
A remarkable feature in cleaning pleated garments with Putnam
Dry-Cleaner is that pleats retain their creases and can be pressed to
look like new without trouble or additional expense. ,
Try this simple, easy way of cleaning hats, coats, gloves, scarfs,

are more restful, more luxurious, more enjoyable
when the charm of color makes them picturesque.
 Tue ART OF TIED DYEING
Reveals your hidden cleverness with
the use of color
Tied dyeing opens the way to make your surroundings vivid with
color. The results may be exotic and brilliant for moods of happiness
or caprice—or they may be soft—subtle—restful for luxurious relax-
ation. | )
The most inexpensive materials often provide the most charming
effects. Cheesecloth, unbleached muslin and theatrical gauze are
especially easy to work with.
There is no mystery in tied dyeing. It is a perfectly simple process,
and articles tied and dyed, because of individuality, the striking
color effects and unusual patterns, are the most popular. Even manu-
facturers of printed silks endeavor to imitate the artistic freedom of
the hand-dyed articles. But no machine can hope to achieve the
lovely ‘‘accidents’’ which just happen for the home dyer.
For convenience in doing the work, dissolve each package of dye
in one pint of hot water, pour into bottles, and it is ready for use
without trouble or delay. Use soft cotton cord, strips of cotton cloth
from one-half inch to an inch wide, of sufficient length to wrap
around the article from two to six times, depending upon the width
of the design desired. For very fine designs use sewing thread.
Putnam Fadeless Dyes can also be used successfully for batik and
fabric dyeing. :

 FOUR FAVORITE DESIGNS IN
TIED DYEING
Material to be tie-dyed should be wet before wrapping in order that
wrapping will be tight and secure. This prevents dye from penetrat-
ing to wrapped portions. Rinse in clear, cool water after each dye-
ing. For bright, lasting colors boil 3 minutes in each dye-bath. Use
any material—unbleached muslin, scrim, silk, chiffon, georgette,
satin, velvet, or light-weight wool.

Design A
Ombre or shaded effect. Tint all
material a light shade—rinse—add
the same quantity of dye to the
original dye-bath. Wrap material
width desired to remain light, as
shown in Fig.1,and dipinto stronger
dye-bath. Repeat these operations
for each degree of color added. For
results note Design A.

 Design D

Three Colors. Take hold of center of material; wrap tightly with

string, strips of cotton cloth, or for very fine lines use thread,
the desired distance from center point. (See figure 4.) If border is
desired, gather goods in left hand, keeping edges even; wrap and tie
desired distance from the edge. Use enough water to cover the goods
thoroughly, and pour the dye solution into this until the desired
strength is obtained, testing it on a small piece of goods before put-
ting in article to be dyed. Now dye the goods in the lightest shade
to be used. Boil 3 minutes—rinse—untie original tying and retie,
leaving uncovered a portion of the part covered in first dyeing, and
wrap farther into the dyed part, wrapping other parts of the goods
if desired to retain the first color used. (See figure 5.) Dye in second
color in same manner as first dyeing. Rinse and untie. Then cover a
portion of the first and second colors obtained and wrap as before,
leaving a portion of the first and second tied designs exposed. (See
figure 6.) Dye as previously directed. 3
 TWISTED DYEING
Twisted dyeing is just what the name implies. The
scarf illustrated was made by taking hold of twoop-
posite corners (bias of the goods) and twisting (on-
corner turned to the right, the other to the left)
until tight as a rope; then rope was doubled, twisted
again and doubled a second time, tied firmly at ends
and immersed in boiling dye-bath of blue
for 10 or 15 minutes (see Fig. 7)—then
untied and rinsed in clear, cold water.
Even with only one color the result of
twisted dyeing is very effective. It 1s pos-
sible also to combine colors just as in the
other methods of tied dyeing. For each color added
untie and retwist the material so that undyed sur-
faces ate exposed to take the new color.

MOTTLED DYEING
Simply bunch up material into ball-shaped mass, wrap
(not too tightly) with a string or cord, skipping about
over the ball of cloth, so that most of the outside will be
uncovered, barely wrapping sufficiently to hold together.
(See Fig. 8.) Boil 10to 15 minutes, adding salt as usual.
Rinse well, untie and shake out, rebunching so that un-
dyed parts will come to the surface and dyed parts will Le
mostly inside. Dye some other color rinse, etc. Repeat
this process for every color added
The Deauville scarf, at the right
was made with Orange, Gray and
Deep Pink in the order mentioned.
The last color applied may be used
for several bunchings and dippings
of the material, in order to secure
uniform distribution of color
throughout.
In Mottled dyeing care should be
used in the blending of
colors and thought given
to the result of letting
colors overlap (that 1s, |
where part of the dyed J
material is exposed to
a second color dyeing).
