an entry as that. But surely there has
been some little thing that has either
pleased or amused you If only for a

SELECTING MATERIALS.
Tests for Telling Quality Of Silk, Linen
or Wooden Goods.

or Wooden Goods.
The woman who would be classed
among the successful bargain hunters
must be able to tell almost at a glance
whether the material she is about to
purchase is really as good as it looks.
More often than not bargain counters
are made up of some choice pieces Of
well as some very poor ones. and she
who can discriminate may pick up
some really remarkable things for al
most nothing.
Most women know tine test of wettinga
the finger and putting it under would-t
be linens to tell il the threads are all.
pure and generally 1t is a fairly good
way of Judging. If the wet spot inme-
diately shows on the right side it is'
linen. but if it is absorbed it Is either
cotton or a mixture of the two. But
the better test is to unravel few,
threads. il these pull out without snap
ping off and do not pull the material
out of shape it is linen, for cotton,
threads break easily and are not woven
in the same manner as the linen. Pure
linen is also slippery to the touch and
when crushed in the hand crunches
stffly, springing back into place almost
as soon as 1T is freed The finer the
threads and the more of them woven
into a certain space the better the piece
OF linen.
In selecting silks one car soon learn
to judge by the feeling of them in the,
hand whether or not they are part cot,
ton. A good quality has IL shim,nerl
about it and also Il slipperiness that isl
something on the order of the slippers,
ness of linen. When pulled out in the
hands pure silk will snap like the re-.
port of a pistol. A lighted match is AM
other good test for silks. If any of the
threads burn up in flash. instantly,
falling into nothing, there is some cot
ton mixed in with It,
Wooden materials can be tested with
match in the same manner. Where,
cotton is ablaze at once wool will only
shoulder, at the same time giving forth
an odor that can never be mistaken for
anything but wool.
