Tharp of Pennsyl vania State University says knowing how to check work manship can be a big factor in determining quality of cloth ing. No amount of alteration can fix a grament that is not cut ion the straight of the fabric. Miss Tharp said. Stripes and plaids should run true and be matched at seams. The nap of pile fabrics must go in the same direction on each part of the garment. Straight and smooth stitch ing, not puckered or too loose, and threads fastened at points where stitching ends are signs of quality workmanship. Fasteners, trimmings, bells and buckles that can be clean ed and ironed at the same as the garment cut down on time and cost of upkeep. A color fast lining and one that can be cleaned the same way as the outside fabric are good signs of quality.

Cultured pearl necklaces may be purchased for around $30, officials of the Cultured Pearl Association of America report. (UPI) Mass Pearl Production Is Now Growing Industry By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York IUPI) The femi nine love for pearls plus man's ability to turn oysters into mass producers of the gems have combined to create a multi-million dollar industry. And, it grows larger each year, says Joseph D'Elia, president of the Cultured Pearl Association of America. D'Elia said that exports from Japan, which produces better than 90 per cent of all cultured pearls, totalled S47 million in 1962, a gain of 30 per cent over the previous year. This is the wholesale value. U.S. importers take 52 per cent of the culture pearl pro duction. There are about 80 importers in all. All of this big business is an outgrowth of something the ancient Chinese learned, and the Japanese commer cialized. Started in 13ih Century A U.S. Fish and Wildlife service publication on pearl culture in Japan (it was is sued during the U.S. occupa tion) says that the Chinese about the 13th Century A.D. found that an oyster could be irritated into creating a pearl. But commercial production of the gems really began in the early years of the 201h Century in Japan. The Japanese to succeed first with large-scale commer cial production was Kokichi Mikomoto. and today the name Mikomoto and cultured pearls arc synonymous. But there are numerous other large and small produ cers. D'Elia, whose firm deals in cultured pearls only, said the two main growing areas arc the old Ago Bay waters of the Mia Prefecture and since World War II, as de mand for the gems has in creased, the waters around Hiroshima, Kyushu, and Shi koku. Some also are grown by Japanese methods in Austra lia and Burmese waters. Oysters are Farmed Oysters are "farmed" just as carefully for pearls as, say, chickens arc for eggs. Divers, most of them wom en, collect oysters from bays where they grow naturally. Or, they are grown from the spat (oyster larvae) collected from the waters with a pat ented cage technique. The cage is inserted in the sea during the spawning period, which in Japan is from July to September. 1 The spat-collecting cages remain in place until Novem ! ber, then the infant oysters ! are transferred to rearing I cages. These, which protect the young oyster from its nat ural enemies, are cither dis tributed over the sea bottom in sheltered areas or .suspend ed into the water from rafts. The age at which the oys ter is ready for insertion of the pearl-creating Irritant va ries, but usually it is ready by the time it is three years old, says the publication on pearl culture. Skill of a Surgeon Described in the simplest of terms, technicians operat ing with the skill of a sur geon, open the oyster shell slightly, make a slit in tissue, insert the irritant, then add a live skin graft from another oyster. The graft eventually heals, and the oyster starts produc ing the nacre to surround the irritant which in most in stances is a bit of shell from the pig-toe mussel taken from the Mississippi river, D'Elia said. It takes an oyster from two years on up to develop a pearl, and growers will sample beds to see if the pearl has reached the size they want before they start a harvest. After the harvest comes grading and sorting, for form, color, luster and perfection of surface. The cultured pearl has a special texture. D'Elia said a women can give the pearl the tooth test to tell the difference between it and the simulated one with glass or plastic bead beneath. Rub the pearl against the front teeth thc cultured pearl feels un even, not absolutely smooth. And of course nothing rubs off. Natural Pearls Noted Natural pearls arc formed in exactly the same way, but the oyster as an act of self defense against some tiny, but accidental intruder. D'Elia said that a cultured necklace could be purchased for around $30 anything sold as cultured pearls for less is "trash," he contended. And the price range goes right on up, depending on size, quality and matching of pearls. Last year, one double- strand necklace while D'Elia had assembled for a Fifth ave. jewelry store sold for $140,000 It will lake an importer three, four or five years to assemble such high quality necklaces.
