ALTHOUGH the difference between a
good and a bad sponge is very marked,
but few people seem able to appreciate
it. The first requisite of good sponge
is that it should be dark in color. The
beautiful yellow sponges commonly
seen in druggists windows are a de-
lusion and snare. The natural color
is light to medium brown, and the
yellow sponges have been bleached by
a vitriol bath, which destroys their
elasticity and makes them wear out
much sooner.
