never realizes that there are few sim
pie tests which she could make at
home ana would prove economical.
Linen is a material which is rather
difficult for some people t. distinguish
from cotton. The linen thread is firm
iy and smoothly twisted. breaks with
a snap is stronger than a cotton thread,
but does not burn MS quickly. These
tests may he made by taking two or
three warp threads threads running

rial which Is TO be tested
Cotton threads appear fuzzy. They
are not rs firmly twisted as linen,
When thread is broken the ends are
fuzzy and burn quickly. The oil test
Is a good way to distinguish between
cotton and linen. Place Il sample Of
the material to he tested On = piece
of glass, apply some oil, let it stand
for five minutes ana hold up to the
light If the sample appears trans.

Artificial silk Is often sold for true
silk. The true silk thread is smooth.

when burned there IS Il small ball of
ash left as a residue. Artificial silk
is nothing but cotton 1t has high

as cotton does,
Wooden material Is often sod fol
