The Journal of the Board of Arts and Manufactures for Upper Canada, January 1867
This, says a London paper, is the latest and greatest novelty of the season. It is made in pink, buff, the new mauve, and a delicate green, and blue will soon he produced. Any article starched with the new preparation is completely colored - dyed we should have said, but as it washes out, and the garment that was pink to-day may be green to-morrow, and buff afterwards we can hardly say "dyed". It is intended especially for those bright but treacherously colored muslins that are costly, wash out and perplex their owners. If the pattern has been mauve, they only need the mauve starch, if green, green starch; and they can be rendered one even and pretty shade, thus becoming not only wearable again, put very stylish. White anti-macassars, or lace curtains may also be colored in the same way, and infinite variety afforded.
