How TO TEST BLACK sILK.-An ex-
psrienoed buyer of silks says that .
good test to secure one from being de-
ceived in the quality of black elk is to
pinch . specimen on the bias and after
ward pull it in an opposite direction.
II the crease made by the pinch looks
like a similar fold in piece of writing
paper, reject the piece unbesitstingly.
Ou the contrary, if the mark smooths
out and is hardly distinguishable, it is
safe to purchase. 1t is advised that
before making up = silk it is an excel
lent plan to open it the full length, and
heap it mp in loose folds on spare bed
or large table. Every few days the
silk should be lightly tossed about
and drawn through the hands, by which
means the "store" cressss made by
folding the silk fat, and which are the
first parts to cut, become less accentu-
stsd, and . pliability is produced that
greatly increases the chances of sstis-
factory year.
