A Soft, Round Strand of Pure White Woven Thread Is Employed, and an Intricate 8ystem of Knotting Guards the Gems Should the String Break. Every now and then a story la print ed about the loss of a valuable string of pearls through the breaking of the cord on which they were bung and their slipping off and scattering over the floor or sidewalk. Those who know anything about the stringing of pearls, however, always read these tales wltb incredulity, because nowa days, as a general thing, only false pearls or those of small price are strung without u knot being tied be tween each of them, so that if the cord breaks no more than one can fall off. It is common belief that because of their great value pearls are strung on something durable, like catgut or wire. As a matter of fact such material hi never employed. There Is no beauty to a string of pearls that looks wiry or stiff. It must be flexible to the highest degree, otherwise all Its grace ful effect will be lost. Up to the time of the introduction of surgeon's silk for pearl stringing nothing had been found tbat would absolutely meet the requirements of strength and flexi bility. Tbat tbe most valuable pearls are to day strong on cords of surgeon's silk la due to the suggestion of a woman employee of a New York Jewelry noose. Surgeon's silk-the thread tbat hi used for sewing up cuts and wounds la a toft, round strand of pure white ilk which Is woven, not twisted. The weave, when viewed under a magni fying glass, closely resembles that of flue silk braid and la capable of only a small degree of expansion. This thread Is produced In several diam eters or grades, which makes It all tbe more desirable for pearl stringing These are numbered instead of being lettered like ordinary sewing milk and are wound on small cards like darning COUOD. When the young woman ides was I lint adopted It seemed as than, it would prove Impracticable owing to iue quanuiy or surgeon s silk roanu factored being insufficient to meet the now demands from tbe Jewelers, ft was also very expensive. But tbe Ides was such a good one And tbe surgeon s silk was so much superior to anything ever tried before that In time It waa found possible to sec-are ft In sufficient quantities and at wholesale prices. Tbe principal safeguard ugulnst loss, however, is In th- method of string- Ing. An Intricate system of knotting the thread between each pearl is em ployed. This prevents the escape of more than one jewel should tbe thread break. This knotting Is done with tweezers and Is a tusk that requires great skill. There must be no unsight ly gaps between tbe knots and the pearls, and tbe whole when finished must be immaculate in its whiteness. Tbe tiny knots Instead of detracting from tbe beauty of tbe necklace en hance It, for tbey look like seed pearls alternating with tbe larger ones. Knot ting lengthens tbe necklace also and Is often resorted to for that purpose. When s strand of a certain length Is desired and tbe number of large pearla Is not sufficient Imitation pearls of tbe exact else and color are often substi tuted. Some of these imitations wUI deceive tbe eye of any but the most expert. It often happens tbat tbe largest pearls have tbe smallest boles drilled through them, for every grain that is taken from tbe pearl reduces It in weight. In sucb cases, however, tbe risk of the cord breaking Is Increased owing to the alenderuess of tbe thread and the sharp edges of the pearls cut ting through It quickly. Stringing pearls Is never done with a needle. A needle Is not yielding enough to pass through very small boles, and tbe doubling of Its diameter at tbe eye makes its use impracticable. Therefore the end of the thread is sharpened to a very flue point, which hi waxed stiffly enough to be used ex actly as a needle would be. Ordinarily pearl stringing is me chauicully difficult and also requires taste and Judgment. Tbe pearls may have to be rearranged in order to Im prove their general appearance, in tbe laying out of collarets especially a great deal of skill is required. In tbe first place, the collaret must lit exactly. This seems comparatively easy, but it Is not. A pattern Is al ways fitted beforehand, but It is rare ly tbe case tbat tbe result Is satisfac tory the first time. Some necks re quire straight collara and others slightly curved. Tbe same care is giv en to tbe fitting of a collaret as to the set of an expensive gown, and It has to be tried on end cbanged and ad Justed aa many times. Dividers are used to gauge the exact position in wblch the vertical diamond (tars that support the strands of pearls should be placed. Endless care 'and Judgment may be given to laying out the pattern for one of these baubles and getting tbe measurements abso lutely exact, bat when it comes to bs fitted there Is sure to be trouble It nay be too tight at tbe bottom and too loose at tbe top. or perhaps tbe ends may not even meet st all -Thad deus g Dayton In Chicago Record Hera 14.
