ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
H. M. M— L. Reusche & Co., 12 Barclay St., New York City, have a 
preparation to put over silver to keep from tarnishing. 
Mrs. R. — Your gold was probably applied too heavy or it may be under- 
fired. Fluxed gold over-fires very easily on Belleek, so probably the latter is 
not the cause. 
P. L. M. — The anise oil will not affect the gold. 
B. M. — Flat gold work is most satisfactory for service plates. We have 
no one at present making monograms. You could give an order to any of the 
teachers and most jewelry houses. 
E. B. B. — Grounding oil is similar to Fry's special oil but is not as satis- 
factory in most cases. Most art dealers carry Fry's special oil. 
Mrs. W. W. H. Your trouble sounds very much as if it was caused by 
dampness in the kiln. 55 % solution of hydrofloric acid will remove the tint. 
Great precaution must be used in handling it, so do not get it on your fingers.
