buy the sheets accordingly, and also
decide on the size of your dining room
table before you get the table cloths.
The linen sheets should be finished at
one end with a three-inch hem-stitched
hem, and the monogram, or single ini-
tial, or three letters of your name.
should be embroidered below the hem
in the middle; the other end of the
sheets should be hemmed by hand,
eight-inch hem. The linen pillow cases
should be finished just like the sheets.
and embroidered in the same way: be
sure Of the size of your pillows before
you get any cases. 1t will not be worth
while to embroider the cotton sheets or
cases, but hem them finely by hand in
stead of by machine, the same sized
hens as given for the linen. I advise
all-white towels; those with colored
borders will fade in time, and plain
white are always in good taste. Hem
stitching is the best finish for towels.
The fine set of towels should be large
40 inches long, finished, by IS inches
wide, but the others may be smaller:
mark the fine ones with a monogram
or single letter about three inches deep
but do not mark the ordinary ones at
all, or if you prefer, with only one let
ter. and do not mark in colors. The
best set of napkins should be seven
eighths of a yard square, but the rest
may be smaller; all should be finished
with a one-eighth-inch hem; and be
eXquisitely hemmed. Mark the best
napkins with monogram or letters
about an inch or an inch and a half
deep. but ON the ordinary napkins en-
broider only a single letter. The mon
ogram on the table cloth should be
near the center, just beyond where the
centerpiece will reach. or at one Of the
corners. and should be about three
inches deep. On the center-pieces and
doilies you may spend profitably any
amount of time and pains, for they
will not have hard wear and need not
he Numbered often. and you can add to
the list by making tray-covers, bureau
scal'fs of linen, and table covers. The
kitchen and glass towels should be
plainly hemmed.

Home Decorations.

A southern farm hOuSekeeper tells
in an exchange how she saw a dining
room transformed at an expense of one
dollar. The room had been plastered,
but was so soiled that it was detri-
mental to the enjoyment of a meal.
Two packages of kalsomine, tinted a
pale yellow were bought and brush
borrowed from a kind neighbor; the
eldest son, although inexperienced and
quite young, mixed it according to
directions, and applied it to the walls.
The color never tires the eye, and har-
monizes with anything. With white
muslin sash curtains at the windows
and red geranium on the window sill
the room looks inviting.
She also describes a pOrtiere of blue
denim painted with sprays of dog
wood. There was a hem at the top,
and very deep one at the bottom, the
wrong side of the goods being turned
over on the right side. The sprays
started above the lower hem, and
reached almost half way up the cur
tain. The effect was beautiful.
Another was made of the burlap,
which cost eight cents per yard. A
deep dadO was painted a short dis
lance above the hem in rich, dark
blue. There we're two wide, straight
lines, between which was a conven-
tional design Of wild roses The drap-
cry for the top of the burlap had a
deep, knotted fringe of the same, made
by having it double at the edge. Above
this was a design of the wild roses. It
was slightly Topped near one end. An
other curtain of the same material for
the same room was painted with
daisies.-EX.

The Guest Chamber.

The special apartment set apart for
guests should not only be made at
tl'active but also hOmelike and beauti-
full in every respect.
The bed should be comfortable, and
of course scrupulously clean. An eX-
ira blanket, or comfort, neatly folded,
should be laid ACROSS the foot Of the
bed, ready for use if needed. A low,
easy chair, and a rocker. also a lounge,
and a table with a neat writing desk
supplied with pen, ink, stationery of
the best quality, postal cards and
stamps are all indispensable things in
the guests chamber. Brushes, combs,
hairpins, a pincushiOn. shoe buttons
should be placed on the dresser. the
drawers of which should be empty for
the guests use. Plenty of clean towels,
good soap, flesh and nail brushes, with
a supply of glycerine, cold cream and
powdered bOraX should always be
found in the bathroom, or on the
washstand for USE as nothing adds
more to visitors comfort than to find
such things at hand without having
to call for them. A pitcher of fresh

hours yesterday the members of the ma
