How can I determine what the final color will be when dye- ing? A. When dyeing red over yel- low the final shade will be or- ange; blue over red will be purple; green over blue gives a blue-green. Light colors may be dyed darker, but dark colors cannot be dyed a lighter shade unless a dye remover is used Always remember that the orig inal color plus the dye used equals the final shade. Q. How can I make candles fi' into the holders, when the candles are'a little too large? .A. Hold the @andle in hot wat- er fora short time and it can easily be pressed to fit the candlestick. This is better than shaving it with a knife. bri E, Smith 2Dack Shoes .Sisman*s Summer Shoes F RIGCEST BUYS IN THE TRI-TOWNS WE REGRET TO ANNOUNCE N! -_ = ads Arrow Shirts $ 3.95 Reg. $ Bs $16. 95 Reg. $ 21.0 0 \ x 0 $ 7.95 Reg. $10.95 House Slippers Royal Park Suits ( Two Pants) DOOR OPENING SPECIAL Half Price 'Mens' Slacks $ 6.95 Reg. $ 10.95 Reg. $69.50 Sale $56.95.
