not usually paint on quite such large

ECONOMY IN TABLE LINENS.

How to Prevent Wear and the Best Meth
DDS OF Laundering.
A fastidious, careful housekeeper al.
ways prides herself upon her table nap.
cry, and, unless she understands the art
of darning and mending it carefully,
she has to replace quite often. Then, if
she has to consider ways and means,
this is quite an item. The first requisite
for preserving table linen articles is to
learn how to launder them, and great
saving, I have found out, is in having
teacloths, carving cloths and center
pieces (or individual pieces) for your
vegetable dishes, etc. Make them Of
heavy butchers linen and do not put
much work on them. Still they should
be made attractive. You can save your
big damask dinner cloth by placing
these about after it is soiled somewhat
washing it so often soon wears one
out, but these little pieces can be laun-
dered every week, and then you can re-
place them with so little cost.
A good way to launder them is this:
First mend any thin place carefully,
and look to see if there are any fruit or
stains of any kind. If so, pour boiling
hot water through the stain, then let it
dry. Then, instead of using soap (Which
yellows fine linen), dissolve table
spoonful of pearline in a quart of hot
water and rub lightly, then rinse. II
you just wash the carving cloths and
centerpieces, rub lightly with your
hands, as they are never soiled much,
and rinse in clear water. then iron on
wrong side while damp. Your table
linens should be washed in the same
way, but of course you use your wash
board and add more water, but the
usual quantity of pearline is table
spoonful to quart of water. 1t whitens
them a pearly white, and you have
need of but little bluing.
Until you have tried using these lit
tie table pieces you will never realize
how much saving there is in it, especial
ly if you have company staying in the
house and have to change your table,
cloth often. 1t saves in the wear and
tear and also in the tablecloth being
laundered, which is difficult and hard
thing to get Numbered properly, espe-
cially in the country.

How to Hang a Hammock.

The general idea that the head end
Of hammock should be higher than
the foot end is an error. The occupant
should rest in state Of equilibrium
that is, in such a position that there
will be no tendency to shift toward
head or foot. To effect this the hips
must rest at the lowest point at what
ever degree Of dip the hammock may be
hung.
The pillow arbitrarily determines the
position of the occupant Whatever
length of hammock extends beyond the
feet should be hung proportionately
higher than the head. There will DO
little or no comfort in trying to resist
this natural law.

How to Keep Children From roeing In

NOW 70 Aeop Ouuoreu TEOm xOelu8 An
The little tots who are inclined to
"toe in" when they begin to walk can
have this fault quickly rectified if at
tended to in time. The mother or nurse
should rub at least twice q day the
outer side Of the little legs with firm
upward stroke. This can be done regu-
larly when putting baby to bed and at
such other times as convenient. When
the little one climbs into your lap for q
"ouddle" or story is good time.
Hold the little foot in your hand in the
correct position. Recollect, do not rub
down, and not on the inner side of tho
leg. The object is to nourish and
strengthen the outer muscles, which
are proportionately weak. Begin below
the ankle and rub to the knee, slowly
and quietly, but not too lightly. This
treatment faithfully persevered in will
soon correct the trouble.
