How to Tell SILK.

II is probably in the buying Of silks that
the greater number Of women are taken in
Frequently II is their own fault; they are
tempted by bargains. and good silk Is
always expensive.
In one Of the large dry goods shops In
New York City there is a man who has pre-
sided over the silk counter for more than
fifty years. BY simply running the silk
between his fingers he can tell where It
comes from, It's purity, It's quality and It's
cost. This is the result Of long experience.
But once a woman becomes accustomed to
the feel Of pure silk she can never forget IT,
There is a slipperiness and crushableness
about pure silk that stamps II as the real
article. There Is also an unmistakable
swish about a pure silk. Then II one takes
the material IN both hands and snaps il
there is a report like a pistol shot from
pure silk, which will aid in the selection.
