WHY SILK MEEDS EXTRA CARE The main thing to remember about silk is that, like wool, it is an organic material. It can be attacked by moths. And it is extremely » elastic and thus subject to stretching, particularly during the finishing operation. So -- while it is a beautiful. and desirable material -- it must be handled with the care so rich and expensive^ a material deserves. When you're buying silk, be sure to find out whether the garment or yaidage In raw silk, pure dy* nllk. wired or unsized, and whether lt'« "weighted". Weighted silks have a tendency to deteriorate faster than those which are not. They're the poorest of sflk CALL OH BRING THEM TO buys, and the extra body and sleekness imparted to them by the weighting process is merely compensation for inferior quality. THEY DO NOT STAND UP WELL UNDER CLEANING. Sizing is not necessarily an evil in ailks, if the fabric is of go ;d quality to begin with and the sizing process is properly executed. Cleaning undamaged si'k of good quality represents no special problem. However, m finishing, care must be exercised to make certain that stretching, water marks and , burning are avoided Ton can be certain your *llks --- as all your gar- - meirts -- win be properly clekaed and impeccably finished when vou N.
