How Silks Get Their Shades.

A certain something" about silk
seems to make brilliant colorings suit
able. And so the word silk prob
ably calls to your mind lengths of
the material in brightly shimmering,
beautifully glossy colors.
These brilliant colorings in which
you see nearly all the cloth at the
silk counter are attained in one of
two ways; by dyeing the silk skeins
before they are woven into cloth, or
by dyeing the silk-in-the- piece. The
first method. yarn-dyeing, consists of
three steps; boiling-on, Weighting and
dyeing.
"Boiling-ofr" involves removal Of all
gum from the raw silk. by immersing
1t in hot soap suds. This step leaves
the silk, not only free from gum. but
soft, white and glossy. The boiling
off" process is used on nearly all silks
except those intended for gauZy or
crepey effects. For such materials,
the gum facilitates giving the neces-
sary hard twist, and so is not removed
until later in the dyeing procedure.
Next comes weighing" The re-
moval of the gum in the boiling on
process has reduced the weight of the
silk about One-fourth, and 1t Is perfect.

Kendall is a fairly common family
name, but comparatively few persons
know that it was. and still is, the
name of place in England. and that
the family name is but DEVELOPMENT
of the place name.
Kendall is the name Of a town In
Westmoreland. The meaning of the
name Is clear when YOU know that
the village was built near the River
Ken. 1t Is merely a combination of
the name of the river with the word
dale meaning a valley, and occur
ring as often in English nomenclature
as the ending thai" is in German.
1t was Just the sort of place to give
rise to many family names, for it was
the sort Of place that men came from
rather than went to. Family names
of this sort are always founded on
the places that men came from. In
Kendall, for instance, there would
have been no point in referring to a
man as Walter of Kendall" Like
wise, in London it would have meant
nothing to speak of walter of Lon
DON" Not even in Kendall would a
Walter from London have been likely
to be called this, for there were so
many Walters in and from London
all over the country that the identity
of the individual would not be clearly
brought out. But there would not
likely be more than one Walter from
Kendall in London.

words but the meaning of them is not
yet clear and will not be so for years
to come. 1t is by these painful mis-
takes that he learns. The lessons are
costly and often dangerous.
AS far as possible let him shoulder
the consequences of his mistake.
What punishment you administer
should bcar some relation to the
offense and it must never take the
form of a beating. Beating an ado
lescent child, even with words, is a
great and grave mistake.
Teach him that the only way to
correct a wrong action is by doing a
good one in its stead. Repentance
without deeds is as empty as faith
without acts. Teach him not to allow
his conscience to rest until he has
done something that cost him thought
and time and energy to show fruits
of repentance.
1t helps to talk over their penance
with them and agree upon its form.
Be careful not leave 1t entirely to
them, for some of them will be too
severe upon themselves and some of
them not severe enough. Talk 1t over
with them. Listen to their confession
and their wish for forgiveness. Then
discuss the ways and means.
Avoid public apologies, even private
ones, unless they are voluntary. They
are often the most useless and hypo-
critical of affairs-just words said
over to escape from an unpleasant
situation. Put deeds in their stead.
Be merciful to erring youth. Be hope

Fay. Carson does some important
shopping.
CHAPTER II.


Fay had arrived at definite con.
clusion. She was not attractive to
men. 1t was not because she lacked
good looks. She was modest, but not
blind and one night, after locking her
self in her room and subjecting her
self to q thorough examination with
the help of her mirror, she decided
that if she We're not beautiful she
certainly was not ugly.
She was tall, but reedy in her slen.
derness. She had small features with
the exception of her mouth which, al
though wide, was beautifully cut. Her
lips were straight with the serious ex-
preston OF child, and her eyes, too,
were serious and of a strangely beau
tiful color, like clear amber. Her hair
was very soft and fine ard had amber
glints in it. Certainly Fay was not
plain, and yet she was not attractive
TO men.
There was about her an air Of diff
dence which, although she was aware
OF, she could not seem to conquer.
Left alone with ii man, she was stiff
and shy, answering in monosyllables
and giving the impression Of being
thoroughly uninteresting. Men al
ways passed her by, eagerly turning
attention to girls who, although not
nearly so pretty as Fay, had charm
and personality. Most of the men
she met did not even know what she
looked like, and she was miserably
aware of this fact.
What l lack is personality" she
decided. and. having come to this con
clusion, she bought several books on
the subject of developing her person
ality.
Shortly after she had perused per
