FACTS ABOUT SILK.
Raw Material Transformed Into Fab
ric That Proves Irresistible.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

FROM the Brooklyn Eagle.
Raw silk comes to the United States in
three forms, to wit: AS it is reeled from
cocoops, as it is spun into skeins and as
woven 'in the gum and the gray" as it is
called. They are all indifferently called the
product. If it comes in the first form
it must be "thrown'-another technical
term-but meaning twisted threads for su-
perior strength. But, however, with the
raw product of the worm comes the first
process after throwing, that of dyeing into
the colors in which it is to be used.
That which comes from Japan and China
in it's natural color is of a rather dirty
whitish gray that from Italy of an orange
hue. The dyeing is a delicate and impor-
tant process, and a distinct and separate
branch of the industry, rarely undertaken
by the manufacturer. When these skeins
are returned from the dyers in the coiors
desired they are placed on winding ma
chimes driven by power, when they are
transferred from the spindles on which the
skeins are stretched to large spools called
bobbins.
The next process is to take these bobbins
to the warping machine where they are
reeled off by skilled labor manpula ting
power-driven ma chime on a cylinder of
which the warp is laid. and in which por-
ton of the design it Is finally to show may
be seen in various colors It is now taken
that one-half of the threads are raised
above the level Of the other warp, leaving
1t so that the .shuttles (and there is one for
every COLOR that carry the various cross
threads of the silk may weave in and out
of the threads of the warp.
From the looms the goods now woven are
carried to folding machine also driven by
power, where they are folded into that az
tractive shape in which they are displayed
in the dry goods stores to delight the eyes
and tighten the purses of the feminine side

IN BORROWED PLUMAGE

A Shopkeeper Says It Can Be Done
With Goods Sent on
Approval.

Written for The Evening Star
When the ways of some women are con-
sidered it is less remarkable that such num-
bers of women dwelling in the large cities
dress eXtravagantly than before their meth
DDS of securing rich costumes for all occa-
sions have been scrutinzed.
There are women, and many of them very
wealthy, who make a regular practice of
having elegant garments sent to their
homes on approval, wearing them once and
then returning them to stores costumers.
Some women VIII wear a dress cloak
to the opera and send it back next morning.
Or they will get hat or wrap and go driv
ing or visiting in it. The average person
would be astonished to- know all the things,
from handsome umbrellas and fans of great
beauty to jewelry and clothes, that some
women borrowed from the shops.
OF course all these women are not well
off, but they all dress well and go out a
great deal, and although the shopkeepers
often discover the manner in which they
are being deceived they do not always like
to make a fuss for fear of losing a good
customer. Besides. they know that if they
incur the enmity of such impoStors the wo-
men quite capable of abusing their
goods and robbing them of other and more
honest customers. Strange as it may seem,
these women generally mingle in pretty
good society, the fringes of it, and have
some influence in the matter of dress, since
they nave won the reputation always
dressing elegantly and in the newest things.
This sort of imposition had been carried
on SO often by customer of certain
large firm that its members determined to
put stop to her Haunting about in borrowed
plumage, at least when the plumage be-
longed to them. One Saturday this woman
had superb wrap sent home on approval,
and on Sunday of the head clerks of
the firm, who knew Mrs Blank the Of
fender stationed himself near her pew in
the fashionable church which she attended
When she sailed down the aisle after serv-
ice, respondent in the borrowed cloak, this
man stepped up to her and said:
"How do you do, Mrs. Blank? I am de-
lighted to see that you like our cloak well
enough to keep it,
Of course after that she could not return
the cloak.
Still, with all the efforts put forward by
shops and customers to break up the per-
nicious habit of forcible borrowing on the
part of sundry feminine customers, the
practice goes merrily on, and many a fair
dame with an enviable reputation for ex-
qusite dressing appears but once in gar
mentS and hats that when next seen are
bedecking another woman or hanging in the
show room of some smart shop.

NEW YORK. February H. 1903.
Blest Is the woman who can afford the
airy fneries which are being worn at the
southern resorts just now. For even though
she may not be able to winter in the land
of sunshine, these light and dainty things
will come in handy a little later for
summer wear. AS these textures for hot
weather wear show the novelties which
later on may not be found at all, and since,
like the premieres of spring, models are
now smiling from every shop window, it is
an excellent time to do your summer buy
ing.
Maids who love transparent frocks and
bodices cut out at the neck should be in
their glory. Colors vie with the pink crane,
the coral, the azalia. Maize, straw, lemon
and sulphur are some of the yellows, while
lace-never was lace used in vaster quanti-
ties, and never in the history of fashion
was it employed in more delightful ways.
Every variety known to the mind of man
is worn but those which initiate the rich
are especially favored. In all-over patterns.
entredeux and entire fiounceS these are
seen in combination with the thinnest tex
tiles.
Tulle bodices-several layers over silk
foundaton-are covered with these elegant
nettings, which are commonly in a dead
white More fragile dentelleS, for these
laceS are of a very durable sort, appear
with organizes, painted muslins. figured
chiffons, and plain and fancy nets of many
sorts, all of which materials are used for
the southern frocks.
Some of the laces are of a most inexpen-
slve variety, and the experienced may rec
ognize the 25-cent quality in more than

Ware of the Bureau Drawer.
From the New York Sun.


Danger turks now in so many quarters
that nobody will be surprised to learn that
there is a certain peril even in as harmless
an institution as a bureau drawer Unless
1t is carefully used this institution is cana
bic of causing all kinds of trouble Listen
TO the testimony of a physician on the
subject.
Women who get into the habit of closing
bureau drawer by a pressure of the
knee he said, do not realize the harm
that may result from this practice. 1 have
known many serious cases of water on the
knee that were caused in this way The
force required to shut a drawer in this
way is slight and one scarcely notices the
contact of the knee with the drawer But
the knee joint is a delicate structure and
bruise may easily be caused that will
lead uitimately to very serious conse-
quences. / have had many patients who
from indulging in this habit have brought
on Illnesses that lasted from one month to
six. So my advice to all women is to lean
over and shut the drawer 1t is better
although it may seem more troublesome at
the minute. The leaning over, instead of
being disadvantage, is really an excel
lent means of exercise, and no way of
closing drawer is so dangerous as to
push II with the knee"

DANCING FOR EXERCISE

Written for The Evening Star by Katherine Morton.
They move easiest and with most grace
who have learned to dance. Head, arms,
hands, limbs, feet, all are symmetrical and
plant; and, more important STILL dancing
is a panacea for many physical Ills
One is round-shouldered perhaps In the
dance, the shoulders must be held back
Or the toes may turn in. In the dance
the feet are turned out. Every muscle of
hips, legs, ankles and insteps are exercised,
and the limbs, therefore, attain greater
strength and elasticity; the whole body
moves with more freedom and ACQUIRES an
added ease and grace.
One can hardly be too young to learn the
Terpsichorean art. If a child is to be train
ed as a ballet dancer, she Is taken at four
or six years Of age. The way the little
girl is trained and twisted in her teachers
hands is a wonder. Every joint, from neck
to toe, is made flexible by exercise The
back bend, the reserved crawl on the out
street ched hands and feet, face upward,
and the split-all go to make up the train
ing.
This rigorous system, however, is only for
the professional. The amateur who would
learn dancing for the pleasure that it gives

and let stand until the gum is dissolved,
then add a quarter pound of pure white

juice. Simmer the mixture over the fire
about ten minutes before bottling. Take
teaspoonful of this every two hours until
relieved and then three times daily until
