Another vice of old age is believing

ARE YOU A GOOD
JUDGE OF TExT1LEs1

The good housckeeper becomes an
astute Judge of textiles. For. her
business of managing the home en-
braces the purchasing Of clothing
draperies, bedding. table linen, and
other textiles necessary TO furnishings
or wardrobe, Surely she must not.
through Ignorance, buy poor grades
Of cotton, linen. wool and silk-pcr-
hnpa paying as much for them as for
higher grades.
During this month and part of next,
| shnll publish one article q week on
textiles. Today ! viii deal with cot-
tons.
How is the Housekeeper to Know q
Good Grade of Cotton? There are
several tests. A cheap grade of cotton
is frequently made 20 appear heavier
by the addition OF mixtures called @siz-
Ing" Starches. dextrin, glue, gums.
china ciay and other ingredients con-
stitute this sizing, which adds a large
percentage to the weight Of a cheap.
thin. loosely cotton. Adultera-
tions Of this kind give the cloth a good
flniHh, filing up the spaces between
the threads. but the wearing quality
ls very poor. One test to determine
the quality Of cottons Of this sort is
10 train the thumb and finger 10 feel
the harshness which sizing gives COT
ton. Another test is TO rurnpie a little
Of IL and see IL chalky white specks
Of sizing come off on the fingers. eAsk
for sample Of the goods. to do this.)
still another test is TO hold q sample
al a "a.
IL small cloud Of starch or sizing can
be seen, the quality Is poor. Again.
touching a sample by the tongue will
often result in a starchy taste. And
still another cotton test is to wash or
thoroughly boil a sample in soda and
water, then compare the dried and
ironed sample with the bolt Of un-
iaundered cloth.
In giving these tests do not mean
to be misunderstood as saying that
cheap grades of cotton should never
be purchased: there are many and ex-
cellent uses for the cheaper grades
Of cotton--only the housekeeper
should know enough about cottons 10
avoid the mistake OF paying D high
price for a grade that is not really
worth the money. Upon the house.
wife's shoulders rests the burdea Of
running the home at the feast expense.
She cannot do this unless she becomes
a Judge of the supplies she must pur-
chase.
How to Know a Good Grade Of Mer-
cerized Cotton: If you want good
quality of mercerized cotton--and By
"a good quality / mean one whose gloss
will not disappear after hard wear or
laundering-expect TO pay a fairly
good price for it. The cost to the
manufacturer of producing a high
grade of nercerized cotton. is about
three times that Of producing unmer-
cerized cotton; consequently If price
Is offered at a very low figure il is

<ow that he knew that was La Tour
ncirc, what would he do? Abandon his
mission. since my knowledge Of him
would put me on my guard against him,
and forbid his winning my confidence
and bcsraying me in the way which, |
supposed. Nontignac had dictated to
h,ms IL was not likely that such man,
having found only one road by which
he might regain the good things he had
lost, would be turned aside from that
road He would follow it to success or
death. Such men are too indolent to go
about seeking opportunities. Having
found one, they viii pursue ii wherever
II may lead Their fortunes are so
desperate that they have only their
lives 10 lose, and they are so brave that
they DO not fear death. II they can gain
the stakes, SO much tho better. 1t not,
little the worse. Meanwhile, they are
occupied in a way congenial to man
who loves adventure, who has inherited
the taste for danger, and finds pleasur-
able excitement in risking his life. There

As | lay in the silence, my thoughts
turned from DE Bcrquin to Mile. de
Narlon. Her demonstration on learning
that | was La Tournoire was in har-
mony with the manner in which she had
preNiously questioned me concerning
my friendship for the bearer of that
name. Grieved at the thought that
WAS his friend, relieved at my assertion
that | did 50 highly esteem him, she
had shown The utmost horror on learn

II this was true, the discovery that !
eas 40 other than the man prescribed,
ad ail the more in danger, would
naturally have profoundly affected her.
In the morning she came down from
her loft, pale and showing calmness
that seemed forced. To nv greeting and
my announcement that Pierre had not
returned, she replied, quietly:
