Covers for Tables.

Very pretty covers for small tables
may be made ofvarious dark rich shades
Of dOuble-faced Canton flannel. A hand
some and effective one is thus described:
A yard square of o%live-green Canton
flannel was buttonholed all around the
edge with gold-colored silk, the stitches
being taken some little distance from
each other. A band 81 garnet flannel,
three inches wide, was placed at a dis.
lance OF four inches from the edge of
the cover. This band, or border, be-
fore it was placed on the olive green
flannel was first embroidered at inter.
walls, little fans and butterflies alter.
mating with each other. Each fan was
about the s re Of a silver dollar its out.
lines only were embroidered in semi
stitch with gold colored silk; the ham
dies being worked also in the same col
or. The butterflies were in various col.
ors, the upper and lower being usually
of some bright contrasting colors,
With gold spots. This border was ias-
tened with feather stitching on the table
cover, in each corner were embroidered
groups Of field flowers in crewels. Beau
tiiul designs of this kind can be bought
rea"y mounted, and only require to be
scanned. A table cloth of garnet flannel,
with a band of old gold, would look
handsome with agroup of daisies at each
corner.

Town and County Lawns.

There smoothing abouta country hSme
more permanently pleasing to the eye
than a well kept lawn. Flowers and
shrubbery are beautiful, but they do not
satisfy a cultured taste as does the en-
erald green of fresh, velvet turf. A
Northern lady, to whom marriage gave
a delightful plantation home in the sun
ny south, once said to me, 81 am sur
rounded by flowers, roses, jessamines,
geraniums, heliotropes, h~oneysuckles,
everything beautiful and fragrant in the
way of flowers | have and enjoy, but
there is an aching void. l long for a
patch of green grass. l would exchange
al my flowers for a northern lawn"
The same lady came north to live after
the war, and in fitting up her new home
she said, THE. leading features of its
surroundings must be a lawn. l don't
want the surface of the ground to be
married with tree, shrub or flower. There
is nothing so handsome around n house
as a green smooth-shaven lawn" This
is putting it pretty strong. Trees and
flowers are beautiful in their place, but
to plant a forest in front of the house or
I'LL the front yard with lilacs, syringas
and other shrubbeTy, as our fathers
were inclined to do, so as TO make the
yard look like a swamp, was a mistake.
A lawn, with a cluster of geraniums
here, of heliotropes there, and other
perpetual boomers few and far between
bordered with elms and evergreen trees
which may serve as a frame to the pic
ture delights the eye of every beholder.
Lawns are now quite common, on
farmers premises, and we can see no
reason why they have not as good a
