To Restore Rusty Italian Crape Recipe

Heat skim milk and water--dissolve in half a pint of it a piece of glue

an inch square, then take it from the fire. Rinse the crape out in

vinegar to clean it; then, to stiffen it, put it in the mixed glue and

milk. Wring it out, and clap it till dry, then smooth it out with a hot

iron--a paper should be laid over it when it is ironed. Gin is an

excellent thing to restore rusty crape--dip it in, and let it get

saturated with it; then clap it till dry, and smooth it out with a

moderately hot iron. Italian crape can be dyed to look as nice as that

which is new.
