To
Renovate
Silks
(1).
Sponge
faded
silks
with
warm
water
and
soap,
then
rub
them
with
a
dry
cloth
on
a
flat
board;
afterwards
iron
them
on
the
inside
with
a
smoothing
iron.
Old
black
silks
may
be
improved
by
sponging
with
spirits;
in
this
case,
the
ironing
may
be
done
on
the
right
side,
thin
paper
being
spread
over
to
prevent
glazing.
2256.
Black
Silk
Reviver
(2).
Boil
logwood
in
water
for
half
an
hour;
then
simmer
the
silk
half
an
hour;
take
it
out,
and
put
into
the
dye
a
little
blue
vitriol,
or
green
copperas;
cool
it,
and
simmer
the
silk
for
half
an
hour.
Or,
boil
a
handful
of
fig-leaves
in
two
quarts
of
water
until
it
is
reduced
to
one
pint;
squeeze
the
leaves,
and
bottle
the
liquor
for
use.
When
wanted,
sponge
the
silk
with
this
preparation.
2257.
Restoring
Colour
to
Silk
(3).
When
the
colour
has
been
taken
from
silk
by
acids,
it
may
be
restored
by
applying
to
the
spot
a
little
hart's-horn,
or
sal
volatile.
2258.
To
Remove
Water
Stains
from
Black
Crape.
When
a
drop
of
water
falls
on
a
black
crape
veil
or
collar,
it
leaves
a
conspicuous
white
mark.
To
obliterate
this,
spread
the
crape
on
a
table
(laying
on
it
a
large
book
or
a
paper-weight
to
keep
it
steady),
and
place
underneath
the
stain
a
piece
of
old
black
silk.
With
a
large
camel's-hair
brush
dipped
in
common
ink
go
over
the
stain,
and
then
wipe
off
the
ink
with
a
small
piece
of
old
soft
silk.
It
will
dry
at
once,
and
the
white
mark
will
be
seen
no
more.
