If the buyer Is uot absolutely sure that the m aterial In question Is as rep resented It Is best to ask for a small sample and apply some of the home tests before making the purchase. For Instance, to ascertain If a mate rial is all linen and not mixed with cot ton, apply a drop of water. The mois ture spreads rapidly on linen, but will remain unabsorbed on cotton for some time. However, this is not alw ays a safe test, as cotton and linen are often j heavily sized with dressing which pre vents the water from being absorbed. Another test for cotton and linen is a drop of glycerine. Linen w ill become transparent, but cotton will not be af fected. Crushing In the hands will show the difference between cotton nnd linen, as linen wrinkles more than cot ton. Sizing may be discovered by rub bing the m aterials between the hands to see if the dressing w ill come out. Washing also will remove the dress ing and reveal the true nature of the material. Cotton and wool mixtures when mois tened wrinkle more than pure wool ma terials. I In examining m aterials It Is well to know that cotton fibers are short with fuzzy ends, while llneu fibers are long and have even ends. Wool fibers are short, kinky and stiff. Silk fibers are long, straight and lustrous. The nature of the m aterial m ay also be ascertained by burning a small sam ple. Cotton burns quickly with flame. Linen burns in the same way, but does not catch so readily, as it has less oil In the fiber and less air In the woven i cloth. Wool burns slowly, giving off an odor like burnt feathers nnd leav ing a gummy residue. Silk burns more slowly than wool nnd with less odor and leaves a crisp ash. Worth Knowing China Cem ent—Make a thick solu tion of gum arable by dissolving two tablespoonfuls of It In hot water. Into this stir plaster of purls until the mix ture is the consistency of gruel. Apply to the edge of the china with a fine brush. Allow the china to stand three days before using. Sewing Hint.— When stitching pock ets on aprons, skirts, e tc , you w ill find that they w ill not rip off ns easily If i the stitching Is begun about half an Inch from the top, stitch upward, then turn downward. When you come to the other side stitch downwurd the same distance as you stitched upward on the first side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- -------------------------------------------- --- : Feather Advice.—Never sun feather j beds or feather pillows. Air them on a windy day in a cool place. The sun draws the oil, and the feathers will have a rancid smell if they remain In the sun. Mildew Remedy.—An excellent rem edy for mildew is to saturate on ar ticle with kerosene. Roll it up and let It stand for twenty-four hours nnd then wash in \ery hot soapsuds. Fish Odor.—To remove fish odor from silver knives and forks or from cooking utensils let stand In cold w a ter before washing. receipt of your order with CARDS cheek, post- office order or cash.
