 To make Hair green^ take a Quart of Ale, 

 and put into it a Pound of Alum : Then put 

 in your Hair, and boil all together in a Pan 

 foftly for half an Hour : Then take out your 

 Hair, and let it dry. — After this take two 

 Quarts of fair Water, and put in it two Hand- 

 fuls of Wax, covering the Pan with a Tile, 

 and foboil it for half an Hour gently. When 

 the Scum is yellow, put in your Hair, with 

 half a Pound of powder'd Copperas, and let 

 this too boil half an Hour •, after which let it 

 ftand five or fix Hours, and then take out the 

 Hair and dry it. — This will make a fine Wa- 

 ter Green, which you may heighten by adding 

 more Copperas. 



Another Greefi is thus made : Take a Pottle 

 of Alum Water, a large Handful of Mari- 

 gold Leaves, and boil them till a yellow Scum 

 arife j then take half a Pound of green Coppe- 

 ras, and as muchVerdigreece*, beat them to fine 

 Powder, and having put thofe into the Alum 

 Water, fet all to cool : Then put in the Flair, 

 and let it remain till it is deep enough colour- 

 ed, perhaps, ibout 12 Hours; then take it 

 out, and lay it to dry. The longer you per- 

 mit the Hair to be in it, it will be deeper co- 

 loured.

 be the befl White you can get. And in order 

 to know the Seafons when thefe Colours are 

 proper, obferve, that as the Weeds rot away 

 in the Autumnal Months, September^ OBoherj
