"A housewife whose table-linen
always does her good service mends it
with fax embroidery cotton of number
to correspond with the quality Of the
cloth. Under the ragged edges Of the
tear she bastes piece Of stiff paper,
and makes a. network Of fine stitches
back and forth over its edges, carrying
the stitches about an inch beyond the
edges of the rent One skilful in en-
broidery can even darn in the pattern
of the cloth Thin places and breaks
in linen may be run with the fax or
linen embroidery floss, and towels
should be mended in the same way.

--Fhe jadieieusA application OF a few
rules in hanging pictures will help the
general effect Of parlor, drawing-room,
or dining-room. 1t is not possible, per-
haps, to carry out these rules as strict
ly In parlor as in picture-gallery,
because the light is different, and the
cotors Of the furniture must not be ig--
nored. Exceptions must be made al
most as often as in English grammar;
but while these numerous exceptions
are the stumbling-blocks Of foreigners
no ordinary person SO disregards the
rules of English grammar as even culti-
waited women often disregard the rules
for the hanging Of pictures. Demorests
