     As used herein the terms &#34;non-tertiary C 1  to C 4  alkyl&#34;, and &#34;non-tertiary C 1  to C 18  alkyl&#34; denote saturated monovalent straight or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals including methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, amyl, 1-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, hexyl, isohexyl, heptyl, isoheptyl, octyl, isooctyl, 2-ethylhexyl, nonyl, 3-ethylheptyl, n-decyl, n-undecyl, n-dodecyl, n-tridecyl, n-tetradecyl, n-pentadecyl, n-hexadecyl, n-heptadecyl, n-octadecyl, 1,3,5-trimethylhexyl, 1,5-dimethyl-4-ethylhexyl, 5-methyl-2-butylhexyl, 2-propylnonyl, 2-butyloctyl, 2-pentylnonyl, 1,2-dimethylhexadecyl, and the like. 
     As used herein, the term &#34;non-tertiary C 1  to C 4  hydroxyalkyl&#34; represents hydroxymethyl, hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl, hydroxybutyl, and the like. 
     As used herein, the term &#34;An.sup.⊖ &#34; represents anion. By anion is meant any monovalent ion derived from an organic or inorganic acid, H anion, by removal of the acidic hydrogen ion. Exemplary anions are halide, hydroxy, alkanoate, nitrate, phosphate, alkylsulfate, and arylsulfate. Other monovalent anions are found in the literature, for example, Hackh&#39;s Chemical Dictionary, 3rd Edition (1946) at pages 12-13, and Chemical Abstracts Vol. 56, Nomenclature, at pages 72n-80n, both incorporated herein by specific reference thereto. As is known, one anion can be changed to another anion by use of conventional ion exchange methods. The halides, i.e., chloride, bromide, fluoride and iodide and, in particular, chloride and bromide are particularly preferred as the anions for the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of this invention. 
     The instant water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of this invention are useful as cationic surface active agents, that is, substances which possess the ability to change the surface properties, and more particularly, to promote the formation and stabilization of a dispersion of a solid in a liquid in the system in which they are incorporated. These substances, which generally have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups in the molecule, have the property of lowering the surface tension of the liquid in which they are dissolved or of reducing the interfacial tension between the solid and the liquid, even when used in very low concentrations. 
     It is the surface active property of these polymeric compounds which enables the compounds to be used in the preparation of stable concentrated free-flowing dispersion compositions of pigments for incorporation into aqueous suspensions of cellulosic fibers in the manufacture of paper and likewise the dispersion of colorless dyestuff precursors for incorporation into coating compositions for carbonless duplicating systems in the manufacture of carbonless duplicating pressure sensitive and thermal responsive systems. 
     The use of the stable concentrated free-flowing aqueous dispersion compositions is particularly advantageous in view of the increasing trend toward automation, because these dispersion compositions are conveniently handled and added in accurately measured amounts by means of pump and meters. The dispersion composition concentrates are particularly suited to metered operations because they are stable and freeflowing under ordinary storage conditions. Still another advantage of the dispersion compositions is that they readily disperse in the cellulosic fiber suspensions and in the coating systems and obviate the normal wetting out problems associated with dry pigments and colorless dyestuff precursors commonly used in the art. A further advantage of the concentrated dispersion compositions is that of convenience in handling and shipping. Furthermore, the concentrated dispersion compositions are more convenient for manufacturers of paper and carbonless duplicating paper in that the problem of handling dry powdered pigments and colorless dyestuff precursors, with suspending the dry powder prior to its application, is eliminated. 
     Further it has been found that the instant water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of this invention are mordants for certain acid and direct water-soluble dyestuffs which are not substantive or which exhibit limited substantivity to cellulosic fibers. The polymeric compounds themselves are substantive to cellulosic fibers and when used in conjunction with acid or direct dyestuffs exhibit the property of holding the dyestuff to the cellulosic fiber. The treatment of the cellulosic fibers with the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds can be accomplished optionally before the addition of the dyestuff to the aqueous suspension of the cellulosic fibers, simultaneously with the addition of the dyestuff or after the dyestuff has been added to the aqueous suspension of cellulosic fibers with essentially no difference in the mordanting of the dyestuff. This mordanting of dyestuffs is particularly useful in the manufacture of absorbent grades of paper, for example, facial tissues, paper towels, napkins, and the like because the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of this invention do not in any manner affect the absorbent properties of the paper products into which they have been incorporated as mordants for dyestuffs. 
     The instant water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of this invention are also useful as fixatives or retention aids to hold water-insoluble pigments on cellulosic fibers. Pigments generally have little or no substantivity for cellulosic fibers and need to be fixed to the fibers with agents, for example, alum and size both of which tend to make the paper harsh to the touch and not absorbent of liquids. The instant polymeric compounds, which are substantive to cellulosic fibers when used in conjunction with pigments, hold the pigments on the fibers. The treatment of the cellulosic fibers in an aqueous suspension with the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds can take place optionally before the pigment is added to the aqueous fiber suspension, simultaneous with the pigment addition, or after the pigment addition to the fiber suspension is complete with no apparent difference in the end results. This fixing of pigments is particularly useful in the manufacture of absorbent grades of paper such as that used in the manufacture of facial tissues, paper towels, napkins, etc. for the reasons previously discussed hereinabove. 
     It has been found that the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of this invention have a high degree of substantivity for bleached cellulosic fiber such as is used in most disposable paper products. Moreover, they are absorbed by cellulosic fibers from aqueous solution at a very rapid rate. These properties are advantageous to the paper industry in view of the utilities of said polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds as mordants for dyestuffs and fixatives for pigments, because it allows the compounds to be added with the dyestuff or pigment to the pulp just prior to formation of the sheet. 
     The water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of this invention and, in particular, the compounds which contain the long chain alkylene moieties are suitable for use as softening agents for fibers. It is well known that textiles which have been washed in laundering operations, whereby detergent compositions, especially synthetic detergent compositions, have been used will acquire a harsh feel. This, of course, constitutes a significant disadvantage, particularly for those textiles which are worn and likely to come in direct contact with the skin. Generally this has been eliminated by the addition of a softening agent to the rinse cycle of the laundering operation. It has been found that fabric treated with a diluted solution of the polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of this invention when compared to untreated fabric has a softer feeling to the touch. 
     In accordance with one of the process aspects of the present invention, the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of Formula I are obtained by interacting, in a first step, approximately equimolecular proportions 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine and an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diamine containing at least one tertiary nitrogen atom capable of being quaternized, for example, 3-(dimethylamino)propylamine, 1,2-bis(dimethylamino)ethane, N-methylpiperazine, 3-N-(morpholino)propylamine, 2-(dimethylamino)ethylamine, 2-(dimethylamino)-N-ethylethylamine. The reaction effecting polymerisation is carried out in an aqueous medium optionally having present in the reaction medium one or more of the following: a nonionic surface active agent, an antifoam agent and/or an alkaline substance, for example, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate or triethanolamine at a temperature in the range of 0° to 10° C. The monochloro triazine intermediate thus formed is then interacted without isolation in a second step with an equimolecular proportion of an amine, either the same diamine as used in the first step or a different amine, for example, ethylenediamine, sulfanilic acid, trimethylamine, N,N-(dimethyl)tridecylamine, propylenediamine, dipropylenetriamine, bis(3-aminopropyl)methylamine, N-(3-aminopropyl)diethanolamine, N,N-dimethyltetradecylamine, octodecylamine or octylamine in the same aqueous medium at a temperature from 0°  to 10° C. During the addition of the second amine or after the addition is complete, the reaction solution is adjusted to a pH in the range of 7.0 to 8.5 with the addition of an aqueous solution of an alkaline substance, for example, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium products which result can be obtained from the solution by methods well known in the art, for example, evaporation of the water either under vacuum or simply drying under ambient conditions. However, it is preferred not to isolate the final products because they are more readily used as water solutions thus eliminating the need to isolate them and redissolve them at the time of use. Further, some of the products are extremely hydroscopic and after several minutes exposed to ambient air they absorb sufficient water to dissolve and form syrups. 
     Optionally, the diamine of the first step and the amine of the second step may be combined so that there are two molecular proportions of amine, with at least one molecular proportion of an amine bearing a tertiary nitrogen atom, to interact with one molecular proportion of 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine. This is particularly preferred when the diamine and the amine are one and the same. The remainder of the procedure is as described hereinabove. 
     The aqueous solutions of the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds are prepared either by dissolving the isolated water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds in water or preferably by not isolating the compounds from the reaction medium and adjusting the concentration to the desired percentage. 
     The water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of this invention can be isolated from the aqueous solution in which they are formed by techniques well known in the art, for example, concentration by evaporation. However, the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds thus formed are readily utilized in the form of aqueous solutions for many of their applications, especially in the preparation of aqueous dispersions of pigments and colorless dyestuff precursors and mordanting water-soluble dyestuffs and fixing water-insoluble pigments to cellulosic fibers while suspended in water. Accordingly, it is particularly preferred to retain the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds in a concentrated aqueous solution. 
     The diamines and other amines required as starting materials in the processes of this invention belong to well known classes of compounds and are either commercially available or readily obtained by conventional procedures well known in the art. 
     The 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine, more commonly known as cyanuric chloride, required as a starting material in the processes as this invention is well known and is commercially available. It is contemplated that other 2,4,6-trihalo-1,3,5-triazines would be equally operable in this invention. However, because of its ready availability and lower cost, cyanuric chloride is preferred. 
     The molecular structures of the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds were assigned on the basis of the modes of synthesis, physical characteristics and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. 
    
    
     The following examples will further illustrate the invention without, however, limiting it thereto. 
     EXAMPLE 1 
     With stirring, 100.0 ml of water and 0.25 ml of acetylenic glycol blend in ethylene glycol type nonionic surface active agent (Surfynol® TG, Air Products &amp; Chemicals Inc.) was cooled to a temperature of 0°-3° C. by means of an external ice-water bath and 9.2 g (0.05 mole) of ground cyanuric chloride was added. Slowly over approximately one hour while maintaining 0°-3° C., 10.2 g (0.1 mole) of 3-(dimethylamino)propylamine was added. While maintaining 0°-3° C., 3.0 ml of 20 percent aqueous sodium hydroxide was slowly added to adjust the pH above 7.0. After allowing the reaction mixture to warm to ambient temperature, an additional 3.0 ml of 20 percent aqueous sodium hydroxide was added to adjust the pH to 8.0. The mixture was filtered to remove a small amount of insolubles. The clarified solution was evaporated to dryness in a vacuum rotary evaporator and the resulting solid dried in a vacuum oven at 40°-45°  C. overnight to obtain 19.2 g of a mixture of solid polymers having repeating units of the formula ##STR11## which melted over the range 109°-145° C. with gas evolution at 111° C. 
     The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum was consistent with the assigned structure. The ultraviolet spectrum showed maxima at 218 and 267 millimicrons. 
     A clear 27.6 percent solution was prepared by dissolving 19.1 g of the product prepared above in 50.0 ml of water with stirring. 
     TEST FOR SUBSTANTIVITY 
     A 0.1 percent solution of the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compound prepared above was prepared by diluting 3.6 g of the 27.6 percent solution of polymeric quaternary ammonium compound obtained above to one liter volume with distilled water. 
     With stirring, 1.8 ml of the 0.1 percent polymeric quaternary ammonium compound solution was added to 100.0 g of an aqueous slurry containing approximately 3.0 g of bleached kraft pulp (700 Canadian Standard Freeness). Agitation was continued for approximately fifteen minutes prior to dilution with water to a volume of four liters with agitation. The treated pulp was then formed into an 8 by 8 inch square of paper by means of a filter-box saving the filtrate for ultraviolet spectral analysis for polymeric quaternary ammonium compound. The paper sheet was pressed between two blotters and then dried at 180° F. for four minutes between two fresh dry blotters to yield a uniform paper sheet. Four additional paper sheets were prepared adding 3.6 ml, 7.5 ml, 15.0 ml and 30.0 ml of 0.1 percent polymeric quaternary ammonium compound solution respectively to the pulp slurries. 
     The filtrates from the formulation of the paper sheets was then analyzed for milligrams of polymeric quaternary ammonium compound per milliliter of filtrate and this amount compared to the milligrams of compound charged to the pulp slurry. The percent in the filtrate is then calculated and subtracted from 100 percent to equal the percent substantivity. The results were as follows:

     EXAMPLE 2 
     With stirring, a mixture of: 200.0 ml of water, 0.5 ml of acetylenic glycol blend in ethylene glycol type nonionic surface active agent (Surfynol® TG, Air Products &amp; Chemicals Inc.), 0.05 ml of antifoam agent (Antifoam® A, Dow Corning Corp.) and 4.2 g of sodium bicarbonate was cooled to 3° C. and 36.8 g (0.2 mole) of cyanuric chloride was added. Slowly over approximately thirty minutes, 20.4 g (0.2 mole) of 3-(dimethylamino)propylamine was added while maintaining 0°-5° C. After the addition was complete, the resulting mixture was stirred for approximately fifteen minutes during which time 22.5 g of 50 percent aqueous sodium hydroxide was added to adjust the pH to 6.5. To this mixture 12.0 g (0.2 mole) of ethylenediamine was gradually added over approximately thirty minutes while maintaining 0°-5° C. After stirring approximately thirty minutes gradually warming to room temperature, the resulting solution was allowed to set overnight at ambient temperature to obtain 283.0 g of pH 7.5 solution containing 14.6 percent of a mixture of solid polymers having repeating units of the formula ##STR12## 
     The ultraviolet spectrum of the solution showed a maximum at 216 millimicrons. The water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compound had a 98 percent substantivity to paper pulp when paper sheets were prepared. 
     EXAMPLE 3 
     With stirring, a mixture of: 200.0 ml of water, 0.5 ml of acetylenic glycol blend in ethylene glycol type nonionic surface active agent (Surfynol® TG, Air Products &amp; Chemicals Inc.), 0.05 ml of antifoam agent (Antifoam® A, Dow Corning Corp.) and 20.0 g of potassium bicarbonate was cooled to 0°-3° C. and 36.8 g (0.2 mole) of cyanuric chloride was added. Slowly over approximately one hour 20.4 g (0.2 mole) of 3-(dimethylamino)propylamine was added while maintaining 0°-5° C. To the resulting solution there was slowly added 34.6 g (0.2 mole) of sulfanilic acid simultaneously adjusting the pH to 6.5 with the addition of 19.7 ml of 50 percent aqueous sodium hydroxide. After the additions were complete, the pH rose to 8.5 and 2.0 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid was added to adjust the pH to 7.6. The resulting solution was filtered to remove a trace of insolubles and to obtain 278.0  g of a solution containing 24.0 percent of a mixture of solid polymers having repeating units of the formula ##STR13## 
     The ultraviolet spectrum of the solution showed maxima at 210 and 273 millimicrons. 
     The following table lists aqueous solutions of the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds prepared in a manner similar to that described in Example 1-3 above. The weight and gram moles of the reactants are so indicated in the columns (2-4) of the reactants. In column 2, the 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (cyanuric chloride) reactant is listed. Generally, amine No. 1 listed in the third column was added to the cyanuric chloride slurried in the water containing the alkaline substance, bicarbonate, carbonate or triethanolamine so indicated in column six and the optional components listed in column nine. After the addition of the first amine was complete, amine No. 2 listed in the fourth column was added and the pH adjusted to greater than 7.0 by the addition of the second alkaline substance of column 6 as needed. The resulting solution was then analyzed by ultraviolet spectroscopy, the percent of the solution and the wavelength of the maximum so indicated in the eighth column. It was tested for its substantivity on cellulosic fibers according to the procedure described in Example 1 hereinabove and the percent substantivity found is indicated in the seventh column of the table.

     EXAMPLE 23 
     Following the procedure described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 39272/74, 50.0 ml of water was cooled to 3° C. and slowly 18.4 g (0.1 mole) of cyanuric chloride was added while maintaining 3°-5° C. by means of an external ice-water bath. Slowly 26.0 g (0.2 mole) of 3-(diethylamino)propylamine was added while maintaining 3°-12° C. by means of an ice-water bath. The resulting solution was stirred at ambient temperature for approximately eight hours and allowed to stand overnight. Slowly a 10 percent aqueous potassium carbonate solution was added to the reaction solution until it was slightly alkaline. The solid which precipitated was collected by filtration. The water wet filter cake was resuspended in water and dissolved by the addition of hydrochloric acid. Slowly 10 percent aqueous potassium carbonate was added until the mixture was slightly alkaline. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, washed with water and dried in vacuo to obtain 2-chloro-4,6-bis[3-(diethylamino)propyl]amino-1,3,5-triazine, a water-insoluble, white colored solid which melted at 119° C. 
     Significant infrared maxima appeared at 3270 (N-H;s) and 3120 (N-H;s)cm -1 . A significant ultraviolet maximum appeared at 220 millimicrons. The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum was in complete agreement with the assigned structure. Analysis by mass spectrum showed m/e peaks at 371(M + ) and 342 (M +  -C 2  H 5 ). 
     The 2-chloro-4,6-bis[3-(diethylamino)propyl]amino-1,3,5-triazine was prepared according to the Japanese patent publication for it to be compared with the product of Example 1 hereinabove as a fixative for pigments on cellulosic fiber and to compare its physical properties with the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds.

     The use of the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of Formula I and described in Examples 1 through 22 as surface active agents for the preparation of stable dispersions of pigments is illustrated in the following examples. 
     EXAMPLE 29 
     A. With stirring 928.0 g of a water wet filter cake containing 240.4 g of the pigment, 3-amino-4-methylbenzamide→3-hydroxy-2-naphthanilide, was added to 640.0 g of a solution prepared in a manner similar to that described in Example 12 above containing 115.2 g of the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compound. After stirring for approximately fifteen minutes, the conventional blade type laboratory agitator was replaced by a Eppenbach Homo-Mixer (Gifford-Wood Co., Hudson, N.Y.) and mixed for an additional half hour with the mixer running at an applied voltage of approximately 78 volts. The resulting dispersion contained 15.3 percent pigment and 7.3 percent water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compound. 
     B. A 0.153 percent stock pigment suspension was prepared by diluting 1.0 g of the dispersion prepared in part A above to 100.0 ml volume with distilled water. With stirring, 4.0 ml of the 0.153 percent pigment suspension was added to 100.0 g of an aqueous slurry containing approximately 3.0 g of bleached kraft pulp (700 Canadian Standard Freeness). Agitation was continued for approximately one hour prior to dilution with water to a volume of four liters with agitation. The dyed pulp was then formed into an 8 by 8 inch square of paper by means of a filterbox. The paper sheet was pressed between two blotters and then dried at 180° F. for four minutes between two fresh dry blotters to yield a uniformly dyed scarlet paper sheet. 
     The use of the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of Formula I and described in Examples 1 through 22 as surface active agents for the preparation of stable dispersions of colorless dyestuff precursors for carbonless duplicating systems is illustrated in the following examples. 
     EXAMPLE 30 
     Preparation of Dispersion 
     A mixture of: 2.5 g of 3,3-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminophthalide; 0.5 g of benzoyl leuco methylene blue; 2.0 g of 3-[2,4-bis(dimethylamino)phenyl]-3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminophthalide; 1.0 g of a 20 percent aqueous solution of a water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compound prepared in Example 12 above; 40.0 ml of water; and 80.0 g of 3/8 inch diameter steel grinding beads were placed in a container which was placed on a roller mill. Rolling was effected for approximately eighteen hours at ambient temperature. The steel beads were then removed by filtering the mixture through cotton cheesecloth. 
     The dispersion thus obtained containing by weight of the entire composition approximately 10.7 percent colorless dyestuff precursor, approximately 0.5 percent polymeric quaternary ammonium compound and approximately 88.8 percent water was incorporated into coating compositions which were used to prepare coated sheets for carbonless duplicating manifold systems. 
     Preparation and Testing of Coated Sheets in a Manifold System 
     A. With stirring 1.0 g of the dispersion prepared above, 2.5 g of powdered titanium dioxide, 5.2 g of water and 1.0 g of 5.0 percent aqueous polyvinyl alcohol (approximately 99 percent hydrolyzed) were uniformly mixed. The mixture was then evenly coated on sheets of paper using a coating rod (a stainless steel rod wound with No. 6 stainless steel wire) and the sheets air-dried. The paper thus coated with the colorless precursor was assembled as the bottom sheet in a manifold system by positioning the coated side (CF) in contact with the coated side of a commercially available transfer sheet as the top sheet coated on the back side (CB) with a wax coating containing a color developer of the electron accepting type. An image was then drawn with a stylus on the top sheet causing the color developer on its under side to transfer to the receiving sheet coated on its top side with the colorless precursor whereupon a strong red-blue-colored image promptly formed. The developed image exhibited good tinctorial strength and excellent xerographic copiability characteristics. 
     B. Proceeding in a manner similar to that described in part A above, but substituting calcium carbonate of a particle size of 0.75 micron for the titanium dioxide and a 5.0 percent aqueous solution of carboxymethylcellulose for the solution of polyvinyl alcohol, a pressure sensitive carbonless duplicating manifold system was prepared which produced a strong red-blue-colored quantitively identical image to that described in part A above. 
     C. Following the procedure described in part A above, but replacing the titanium dioxide with Ultrawhite® 90 clay (Engelhard Mineral and Chemical Co.) and the 5.0 percent aqueous polyvinyl alcohol with a 5.0 percent aqueous starch solution, a pressure sensitive carbonless duplicating manifold system was prepared which produced a strong red-blue-colored quantitively identical image to that described in part A above. 
     EXAMPLE 31 
     A mixture of: 2.0 g of 2-anilino-3-methyl-6-diethylaminofluoran; 1.0 g of a 20 percent aqueous solution of a water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compound prepared in Example 12 above; 35.0 ml of water; and 80.0 g of 3/8 inch diameter steel grinding beads was charged into a container which was placed on a roller mill. Rolling was effected for approximately eighteen hours at ambient temperature. The steel grinding beads were removed by filtration through cotton cheesecloth. 
     The resulting dispersion containing by weight of the entire composition approximately 5.3 percent colorless dyestuff precursor, approximately 0.26 percent polymeric quaternary ammonium compound and approximately 94.4 percent water was then used to prepare a pressure sensitive carbonless duplicating manifold system similar to that described in Example 1, part A above. Impression with a stylus promptly produced a strong green-black-colored image on the bottom sheet (CF) which exhibited good tinctorial strength and excellent xerographic copiability characteristics. 
     EXAMPLE 32 
     A mixture of: 35.0 ml of distilled water; 30.0 g of 3,3-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-dimethylaminophthalide; 7.5 g of a 20 percent aqueous solution of the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compound prepared in Example 12 above; and 70.0 g of 1/16 inch diameter glass beads was stirred vigorously at ambient temperature for approximately two hours utilizing a Hamilton-Beach No. 30 mixer (Hamilton-Beach Co., Racine, Wis.) equipped with a 15/8 inch diameter Cowles agitator blade at an applied voltage of approximately 50 volts. Microscopic examination of the resulting dispersion disclosed that the average particle size of the phthalide color precursor was between 1 and 3 microns. With stirring, 77.5 ml of distilled water was added to the dispersion and the glass beads were removed by filtration of the dispersion through cotton cheesecloth to obtain approximately 145.0 g of dispersion. 
     When the dispersion containing by weight of the entire composition approximately 20 percent colorless dyestuff precursor, approximately 1 percent polymeric quaternary ammonium compound and approximately 79 percent water was incorporated into a pressure sensitive carbonless duplicating manifold system similar to that described in Example 1, part A above, a strong blue-colored image having excellent tinctorial strength developed on the bottom sheet (CF) upon impression with a stylus. 
     The use of the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compounds of Formula I containing long chain alkylene moieties described in Example 6 as softening agents is illustrated in the following example. 
     EXAMPLE 33 
     A. A solution was prepared by diluting 122.7 g of the 22.0 percent water solution of the polymeric quaternary ammonium compound obtained in Example 6 above with 250.0 ml of warm tap water, adding 5.6 ml of 10 percent aqueous acetic acid and adjusting the resulting solution to 400.0 ml volume with warm tap water. The solution was warmed to 50° C. and padded on to cotton cloth having 80 threads by 80 threads per square inch. The treated cloth was air-dried and cut into pieces. 
     B. A blank solution was prepared by diluting 5.6 ml of 10 percent aqueous acetic acid to 400.0 ml volume with warm tap water. This blank solution was warmed to 50° C. and padded on to cotton cloth having 80 threads by 80 threads per square inch. The treated cloth was air-dried and cut into pieces. 
     C. Samples of each of the cotton cloths treated in parts A and B above were submitted to each of five members of test panel all of whom concluded that the cotton cloth from part A, treated with the water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium compound from Example 6 above, was softer than the cloth treated with the blank solution in part B above.
