The clothing comes from Best & Company, 60 West 23d street, New York. You send for their catalogue, pick out what you want, and send your order to us with money and names of course. [Illustration] The reason we send from Best & Company is that they keep the largest variety and serve an absent buyer as well as if he were there in the store. [Illustration] Most of the big city dry-goods houses keep more or less of children’s clothing; but they generally slight it. The work is apt to be shabby, the materials flimsy, the styles too pronounced if not “carried over from last year.” Girls’ things are considered especially hard to get satisfactorily. * * * * * Tammen’s Cabinet, forty smaller specimens. Price 60 cents; for 75 cents in new subscriptions. [Illustration] Paper box with sheet of explanations where the minerals came from, what they are used for, etc. * * * * * Diamond Dyes. Price 10 cents a color; for 15 cents in new subscriptions. Dyeing at home in the most satisfactory manner is very easy and profitable. Silk and woolen stuffs come out of the dye about as nice as when they were new. For cotton some of the colors have to be specially made. Wood stains are made from the dyes. Diamond dyes are complete in themselves; that is, nothing more is required to set the colors. It is really no more difficult to dye with most of the colors than to rinse or starch. And full instructions accompany the dyes. The colors are: yellow, old-gold, orange; green, olive-green, dark-green; pink, magenta, scarlet, crimson, cardinal, garnet, terra-cotta, maroon, dark-wine; violet, plum, purple; light-blue, navy-blue, dark-blue; slate, drab, black; and yellow for cotton, green for cotton, cardinal for cotton, scarlet for cotton, and blue for cotton. Diamond dyes do not stain the hands or utensils if used with a little care. You handle the stuffs with sticks till you come to the wringing. * * * * * Book-rack, No. 318.
