Delft China and Teaclotfl Embroidered to
AIatch-Bodices PrOruseIy Trimmed
Linseed oil is an excellent preservative
of wooden furniture, and French house
wives employ it largely It is particularly
good as application to oak, tho wood
becoming harder and darker under its &c
ton. 1t also destroys woodworms, but
on account of its darkening influence can
not be used for light furniture.
The cloth for the O'Clock tea table IS
now embroidered to match the pattern of
the china used. Delft coloring and designs
are at present most popular, but in order
to be fully effective should be set off by a
touch of yellow or orange, such as may be
supplied by of daffodils or chrysan-
themums.
Bodices arc more and more trimmed, If
any increase in adornment is possible.
This excess of ornamentation is permitted
by the universal fashion of capes, which
in turn are necessitated by the large sleeves
now in vogue and must endure as long as
they do.
Jackets are worn, but not so much as
capes. The jacket is much liked for young
girls, being simpler and less elaborate in
