Fabric knowledge comes with expert

is a certain feeling to cotton-and-wooi-
mixed cloth that makes us look Tor the
cotton even when it is skilfuliy con-
cealed. The infallible test for this, OF
course. is to unravel a tbread-two
threads in fact--one in the cross-Width
and one on the length. A woolen
thread breaks with an Irregular. trlngy
kind of severing of the flbres, while
cotton makes a clean, crisp break.
Even here we have to consider some
OF the processed cottons, when are

a CONSEQUENT softness that fosses out
rather than breaks. One way or IN

wool fabrics Is by making cotton
