Linen a. Christmas Gifts.

There was never such a thing heard
Of as q housekeeper overstocked with
table and bed linen. Only the size Of
the pocketbook regulates the contents Of
the linen closet. The large shops, Of
course, carry complete linen outfits, the
prices of which range from $500 to ST.
600. but few women can afford one Of
these sets, hence linen lie generally q
welcome present. White embroidery is
most popular for table linen. On the
other hand, in embroidering pillows,
portieres or large pieces, strong colore
and color contrasts are needed to give
character. A design should be suited to
the room for which it is Intended as
we'll as to the article. Portieres and
bedspreads should be embroidered in
arabesques, scrolls and bold, conven-
tionalized designs that give greater
effect of richness aud dignity than
would flowers and birds.
There is no heater finish for sheets
than the hemstitohed edge, which d.
vides favor with buttonholed scallops.
All white embroidery on colored
denim sofa pillows is appropriate. Bat
tenburg, honiton and linen laces are in
favor for table and bed linen.-New

comments on carpetiugs Of the season

In great favor are small conventional
designs of mottled colors in mosaic on q

formerly confined to English brussels

better taste.
Rugs, over hard wood, painted OF
stained flooring or spread upon mat

More and more the designs approach
the oriental in character. To be con-
demned, though, is the trick of apply
ing to the English and American imita.
tions chemicals that soften down the
color to give them the appearance Of
the age of the real eastern rugs. In
English papers this fake is frankly ex-
posed. There is not only falsehood in
the imitation, but the life of the yarn
is eaten out, so that the rug quickly
goes to pieces.
Lately, by the way, manufacturer
placed on the market a rug the central
decoration of which was q facsimile OF
the head Of Admiral Dewey, our justly
famed hero, flanked on either side BY
the American flag. The rug was fail

just mentioned was a short jacket, dou-

One etyle of very serviceable tailor
made gowns for winter has broad lapels,

A detail which should be noticed in
regard to the much talked of swallow
tail coat is that by French designers It
is cut and rounded quite of the hips in
front, sloping gracefully into a long
rounded tail, often reaching half way
down the back Of the skirt, and conse.
quently does not so decidedly cut the fig

fur below the hips in front.
Velvet or velveteen shares the honors
with cloth as the leading material Of
the season. It is responsible for some of
the latest and most beautiful gowns and
capes and coats; it trims our coats,
drapes our toques, and when cloth is
the dominant fabric it furnishes a
decorative applique. These popular fab
RIGS are to be found both plain and
spotted, and. a. to colors, there were
