become proficient go ahead, while others
STAY about where they started.

One Of the most peculiar features about

they call it the cry" or sometimes the
"scroop." OF all textiles silk is the only ma

The cry Is considered a very desirable

the methods OF the mechanical processes 10

Silk dyers and weavers have studied this
peculiar quality but they cannot agree as

The other authority has IL that an acid
soap best imparts the cry" and the lustrs

ers know that boiling in pure water viii
