MARKING TABLE LINEN.

A pretty method of marking your
table linen very simply is by embroid-
er.ng your initial about three inches
long in the corner The marking
should be done in cross stitch very
evenly and smoothly. If you can real
ly be sure of great care being used in
washing, a colored flax thread may be
used to work the initial, such as pale
green, or blue, or yellow, but if, on
the other hand, an ordinary laundress
washes them, you should use only
white, otherwise the colors may run
and spoil the pretty effect on the linen.
Of course, serviettes and doilies should
be embroidered the same as the larger
cloths, only in small letters. The
palmer the design of the initial letter
the better, and quite the best style to
use is like that of large capital in
print.
