The  famed  Diamond  Dyes  in  the  household  to-day 
May  well  hold  a  prominent  place: 
By  using  them,  treasures  that  Time  has  despoiled 
Come  back  to  us  clothed  with  new  grace. 
Philosophers  long  sought  a  fountain  or  stream 
Whose  waters  their  youth  might  restore: 
The  Diamond  Dyes  offer  to  all  fading  things 
A  promise  to  do  this  and  more.

From  leather  to  laces,  and  all  things  between, 
The  Dyes  can  transform  by  their  art; 
No  fabric  but  yields  to  the  magical  touch, 
Which  gift  It  is  swift  to  impart. 
The  poor  faded  splendors  bloom  brightly  once  more, 
We  prize  what  we  held  cheap  and  light — 
Their  value  Is  heightened  to  eyes  that  behold, 
And  hearts  are  made  glad  by  the  sight. 
The  above  are  selected  stanzas  from  a  prize  poem 
on  Diamond  Dyes.  We  recommend  to  our  readers 
the  use  of  these  reliable  home  dyes,  and  feel  assured 
that  you  will  find  them  a  most  valuable  aid  to  hand¬ 
some  and  economical  dressing.  They  are  the  strong¬

from  the  delays  and  expense  incurred  by  sending 
goods  to  the  dye.house. — Adi).
