TO DISTINGUISH FIBER SILK
Remember That II Has a Higher Lus
ter Than Pure silk and 10
Not Elastic.

Fiber or artificial silk IL a vegetable
product made wholly from wood or
from cotton. while pure silk Is animal
fiber, taken wholly from the cocoon.
A simple method TO distinguish the
fiber from the pure silk Is to place
hose Of each kind side by side. and hy
examining both IL will be found that
the artificial silk has q higher luster
than the pure silk. Next, take the
fiber silk In both hands and note the
harshness Of the feel and The absence
OF much elasticity. by going through
the same process with the pure SILK
hose the reverse will be found 10 be
the case.
The phrase, 'mercerized silk IL
used upon many occasions by those
who should know better. There Is no
such thing MS mercerlzcd silk. The
process Of mercerizatlon Is applied to
cotton to supply silky lus,er.-Dr,
