The frequent diSappOintments which la
dies experience In the wear OF black silks
are partly attributable to the use of loaded
chemical dyes (Which cause the tabric 70 cut)
instead OF pure vegetable dyes and partly to
the increasing tendency of late years to pro-
duce silk goods in factories by means of
power looms. Every effort, however, to
make silks by purely mechanical process.
has been attended with but doubtful success,
and 1t has been found almost i'm possible to
produce them free from that crisp, harsh
touch socommOn to the ordinary makes OF
SILKS. Moreover, it is foreign to the charac-
ttr OF the French weaver to work in facto-
Tics, anu all attempts of manufacturers to
llduce the best workmen to do so have
proved unavailing. This accounts for the
superior excellence of the hand-spun cache
hi hlfe silks, each piece of which is made i'm
,ne SOod old-tashiOned way by skilled
WAIVERS on looms at their own homes, thus
ttuihli!iing the true conditions under which
lrue SILKS can alone be produced, insuring
tnoLe fella6le wear, rendering them less apt
" wear shiny, and giving them that soft.
l na-I' satin finish SO sought after by all
