They ran wildly from the doomed city

tremble and CULVER. Great assures

LOOKING AFTER TABLE Linen.
A Little Care Goes a Good Ways in This
Deparrmenf.

Department..
In buying tablecloths and napkins it
| is always best to get good quality. Not
only will it wear much longer but it
gives the table richer appearance
than an inferior quality of linen. Have
/ plenty of changes, and never use Ia
blecloth or napkin until badly soiled,
thereby necessitating more rubbing TO
/ get it clean, and consequently more
wear on the material
| Never put table linen into soap snds
until it has had all stains removed by
pouring boiling water through them.
This will remove all stains but iron
rust; for that sprinkle on oxalic acid,
wetting the spot with cold water. Rub
gently between the hands. and it will
gradually disappear. If obstinate, re
peat the process a stain is very IN
| slightly, and upon an otherwise nice
cloth detracts greatly from its appear
ance. The scalding should not be neg
lected if a spotless expanse of white is
desired.
This table linen should be rubbed
/ lightly, and always wrung by hand; a
wringer makes creases which are hard
TO iron out Blue lightly. but do not
/ starch Stiffened linen IS an abomina-
ton.
Never allow tablecloths to hang on
/ the line in a strong wind. The hens
will become frayed at the corners, and
a general limpness be the result Moth
/ ing is so wearing to all linen and cot
ion cloth as switching in the wind on
ire clothesline.
When signs of wear appear, it is
much better 10 darn back and forth
with threads of the linen from the
trimmings, which should have been
saved when the cloth was made up,
than to put on a patch. A darn can be
so skillfully managed that scarcely a
trace of its presence can be detected,
at the same time strengthening the
worn place until it IS as strong as the
rest, while a patch, be it ever so skill
/ fully applied, is patch still, and easily
/ detected.
| Carving and tea cloths save much OF
the wear at the edges of the table, and
where there are small children cloths
are made Of butchers linen, stamped,
and etched with hgess, either white or
colored, as one may fancy, to be placed
under the plate as protection to the

allowed at table, should be provided

cient size to allow of being placed I'M
