While it may in some cases be nee
essary to mark linen By stamping or
writing with an indclibIc ink, this Is

monograms which were recently so
much in fashion. Then, that fashion
which combines fitness will be the
most enduring, or it might perhaps
be said, will always b. appropriate.
whether it holds the first place in
temporary popularity or not,
According to the authoritative
statements, the French or raised satin
stitch is now considered the right
thing in marking linen. In most cases
pure white is to be used, though in
toWcling a tinge of rel may be en-
plOycd, and where cOlorcd articles
are to be marked such shades arc
allowable as will blend tremendously
with the main COlOrS. The tendency
now is in quite large letters, but this
is doubtless temporary fashion, and
the thoughtful housekeeper can we'll
be little conservative in this direc-
ton, with view to what will be in
vogue before her linen is worn out.
The initials for such marking may
be either regularly stamped upon the
fabric, or they can be transferred
from Che design by means of carbon
paper. For the latter purpose the
paper known as "scmi- carbon" is the
best, being coated upon only one side,
and that side is, in using, to be laid
next the goods to be marked. Place
the design over all, with the face
toward the operator, and with blunt
point, such as stylus or a hard pen
ell, go carefully over the outlines,
taking care not to allow any of the
papers to move during the process.
This operation is very simple, and may
be successfully carried through by
any person with ordinary care. The
outlines thus secured are to be run
with embroidery cotton, and the space
between them is padded with long
and short running stitch, or any other
favorite stitch which may be pre-
ferred. Good Housekeeping.

Coffee and Tea.

Coffee and tea suffer more in the
making from the hands Of their
friends than ever less cheerful friends
could ever deserve Doctors agree
that simple infusion of either tea or
coffee is not harmful, but rather
beneficial. Boiling either beverage
renders it more or less indigcstiblc
as the boiling process is long or short,
Keeping either coffee or tea on the
stove fA'm one meal to another, or
while one meal is in preparation, is
simply heathcnish. We have all
become educated to the point Of
acknowledging that unboiled tea is
more palatable than the bitter boiled
stuff, but coffee lovers still claim that
it must have more than this process
to draw forth its full strength and
aroma. For them the concession is
made that the coffee be kept at the
boiling point for four or five minutes
no longer-before it be saved.

Labor's fight against labor, which has
