Mr. and Mrs. Silas Ward returned Sunday from Salt Lake City where they attended the con'erence of the LDS church and visited with Ward's sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. George By Leonard Craig Let's talk about printed fabrics big news 'this year in fash ions. In the ordinary or direct method of printing fab ric, simple and elabora tely colored ' designs are impressed on the woven cloth by means of en- p A craved rol- I lers. In block printing flat blocks are used instead of rollers and this operation is performed by hand. Stenciling is another hand process of applying colors to fabric. Of ten the stenciled design is planned to fit a woven pattern, so it looks as though the fab ric were composed of two or more scries of different color ed threads. What has all this to do with cleaning? A great deal. Your cleaner must make certain that the dyes used in the roll er or stenciling process are color fast that they will not "bleed." Combination fabrics like wool-and nylon, rayon and wool, dacron and nylon all require different types of dyes which in turn impose a need for special cleaning for mulae. Every garment you send us for cleaning presents its own spec ial challenge. We'll always make the necessary tests to de termine which method will in sure safe, satisfactory results.
