Fibre Content -- The fibre content will affect many of the qualities of the fabric or gar- ment. As an example, many of the newer synthetic fibres will have a higher resistance to perspiration than silk. Some fibres are much stronger and this higher strength will usually extensive developments in the| field of dyeing and printing of fabrics have given many fast dyes and attractive yet durable printed. fabrics. The color or dye jon a fabric should be fast to both dry cleaning solvent and) moisture (or water) because moisture must be used to re-| move some stains such as food| stains. | 5. Finish -- The finishing pro- cess applied to different fabrics can the of the Women's Activities, to a tea held in the Queen Eliza- beth building.

Yarn Construction -- The amount of twist in a yarn is an important factor in finished goods. It determines the ap- pearance as well as the durabil- ity and serviceability of a fab ric. Soft-surfaced fabrics will have only a slight twist in the yarns. Smooth surfaced fabrics are given a higher twist. Twist in a yarn will contribute strength, smoothness, elasticity, and some crease resistance to| a fabric. Crepe fabrics with] their pebble effect are made from very highly twisted yarns. | 3. Fabric Construction -- The| type of weave in a fabric will not only affect the appearance | of a fabric but it could also affect the wearability of the, fabric. Generally, a closely woven fabric will have better dimensional stability than a fab- ric that is loosely woven. Ribbed and corded effects can be created in fabrics by alter- nating the size of either the horizontal or veritcal yarns. A ribbed fabric will not be durable it the ribs are too pronounced because the coarse yarns that produce the rib tend to pull away from the adjacent fine yarns. A twill weave with its diagonal line has for its chief values strength, firmness and drapability. 4. Dyeing and Printing --The Sharon E. Dash Feted Bride-Elect Miss Sharon Eleanor Dash whose marriage will take place tomorrow afternoon in/St George's Memorial Church has been feted at several pre-nup- tial showers. A surprise shower was given by her future sisters-in-law, Mrs. Leo McKay and Mrs. Douglas McKay and held at the home of Mrs. Leo McKay. A miscellaneous shower was given by Mrs. George Robbins at the home of her mother, Mrs. George Winter, Wilson road south. A number of friends gathered at the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. Kenneth Harding, Arthur street, who was assisted by an- other aunt, Mrs. Camil Chasse. The future bride was presented with a coffee table and many pantry shelf gifts. Co-workers of the bride-elect at Zeller"s Shopping Centre store entertained at a break- fast shower and presented her with a Danish styled dresser lamp and a negligee set. A rehearsal tea was held at the home of the prospective bridegroom's parents, Mr. and appearance of the fabrics by giving them texture (e.g. moire) or additional strength (by mer- cerizing) or by creating a soft fuzzy feel of flannelette by nap- ping. Chemical finishes may be | applied to produce a drip dry |finish or make a fabric water repellent. Here the permanancy of the finish will help determine the quality of a fabric or gar- | ment. | 6. Decorative Design -- Decor- ative designs on a fabric, or a garment, if not properly select- ed may definitely limit the serv- iceability of a garment. Sequins glued on, instead of sewn on a fabric, will undoubtedly be re- moved in wear and in cleaning. 7. Garment Construction -- A well designed garment not only looks good on the outside but|# the inside of the garment should have well finished seams. Consideration of these factors when buying clothing will help purchase. CURRIED PORK 1% pounds diced boneless pork shoulder { 15 Brazil nuts, chopped coarse- | ly.
