HOW TO SAVE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WOOLENS AND WORSTEDS
oOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOc
%. 1922. Harland H. Allen.)

"Just what is the difference be-
tween woolens and worsteds?" is a
familiar question to store clerks. And
the answers given are various: That
wooden is made from short wool and
worsted from long wool and that wool
is carded and worsted combed, etc.
The best way, probably, to prove to
yourself what the difference Is, will
be to ravel thread from piece Of
coarse flannel which Is woOlen mate
rial, and compare it with raveling
from a fine serge, which is worsted.
You will notice that the fibers in the
serge raveling lie even, parallel, and
tightly twisted together. That is what
gives the finished fabric that smooth.
hard surface, showing the weave very
plainly, while the flannel raveling
shows the fiber crisscrossed and lying
in all sorts of directions, with loose
ends that gives woolenS their fluffy,
downy appearance. You can see at a
glance that the woolen fibers have not
been combed and Strengthened out to
the same extent as the worsteds.
Making woolen yarn is the shorter,
easier process. Woolen yarns are used
for such materials as blankets, broad
cloth, flannel, cheviot, kersey and
fancy dress goods where the weave Is
entirely obliterated. In making worst
ed yarn, the wool fibers must be
all combed and Strengthened out
until they lie even and parallel as you
saw them in the serge raveling. Many
processes are required for this, and so
worsted goods made from pure wool
are expensive.
The finish of worsteds and woolens
is quite different. A worsted fabric,
when finished, has clear, bright we'll
defined pattern, and some close and
finely woven. Generally the weave Is
quite distinct. Woolen CLOTH, on the
other hand, is more elastic, the colors
are more softly blended and the
guished.
In general, a good quality of wool Is
used in worsteds. The long, staple
wool Is best suited for this pur-
pose, and so Is generally the one used.
Shoddies and hard wastes are not used
In worsted yarns, as the long staple
wool cannot have shorter wool combed
into 1t.
On account of the close twisting of
the yarn, and the distinct weave,
worStedS are apt to wear shiny in
places. This can usually be remedied
by dampening the place and rubbing it
with piece of rough cloth, afterwards
pressing on the wrong side.

HOW TO BUY YOUR FACE
VEIL

Strangely enough, 1t was a man, a
man milliner, who initiated me into the
knowledge Of veil buying. "There is
no detail of a womans dress that, as
a rule, she buys so unintelligently, and
adjusts so clumsily as she does her
face veil," he discoursed, as he stood
behind the triple mirror and watched
the saleswOman drape one filmy cloud
and then another across my hat brim.
"And yet the whole effect of smart
street costume can be made or marred
by this accessory. If veil Is dainty,
delicate and becoming, it can cover
a multitude of SINS" he limited, more
purposefully than gallant, l must ad-
nit.
Perhaps a few suggestions about
wells, as he gave them to me, may
help you make your next one look bet
ter and last longer.
If you are large woman, with pro-
nOunced features, you may select wells
with striking patterns and look very
well In them. But haven't you often
seen a small woman with delicate fea-
lures almost hidden under the heavy
patterns that would have been very
becoming to her larger sister! If you
have dainty, small features, you
should choose q veil with a small,
delicate design.
And again, when you want veil to
choose single-mesh veil; while with
a large hat, where the brim is further
away from the features, the more fig
ured patterns are quite smart and at
tractive
Care must be used when selecting a
veil that contains spots or large fig
ures that these are placed so they do
not hurt the eyes. If the figures are
placed far enough apart, the veil can
always be adjusted so that the spots
do not come directly in front Of the
eyes.
If you want filmy veil, you must
expect to pay enough to get really
fine mesh. Those made out of stiff
ened cotton are cheaper, but the sticky
dressing soon comes off, and then the
veil easily crumples and tears. Some
women plan to buy these cheaper wells,
wear them few times, and throw
them away. But the better wells cost
only about twice as much, while they
wear three or four times as long.
Having selected your veil carefully,
learn to take care Of 1t. Don't leave
1t on your hat for days together. Pin
ming the veil over a pasteboard roll
will keep 1t from getting stringy.

On Tuesday the body of Mabe
Quereau, wife of D. w. Quereau Of

Snake river thirty-five miles below
where she jumped into the stream on
June 26, 1928.
The remains were found by a
couple of prospectors who were ex-
ploring the river channels in boat
and on the lower end of Cow Island,
two miles below the mouth of Boone
creek. Not much remained but the
skeleton, the shoes, her corset and
fragments of the underclothes. They
reported the matter to the authoritis
at Blackfoot, and Shriff Stephens and
Coroner Egli brought in the remains
Identification was made by meas
urement of her height, by the corset
and by the shoes, her name having
been inscribed in them as Is done in
the case of each patient in the state
mental hospital, where she had been
kept for treatment for some months
prior to her death.
She was f1fty-three years old, had
tried a long time to find way to
drown herself, and this closes the
chapter. Her husband came from
their home at Jerome and returned
Thursday with the remains.
