ordering stone or cement pavements

cheaper in the end. and the abutting

Choosing Table Linen.

1t is a good plan in buying table lin
en- to avoid all goods with much plain
urface if your are choosing linen Of
medium price, says an exchange. The
the pattern covers the ground. On the
contrary, if you are buying the finest
damaslls choose a pattern with a large
amount of plain surface. SThe delicate
pattern of the linen in this case shows
to perfection the satiny fine surface Of
the cloth or napkin. Small patterns
are desirable in table cloths of medium
size. A double border is desirable,
one to lie on the edge of the table
when the cloth is spread and one ont
side to fall around the edge The
handSOmest tableclOthS for the fash
ionable circular tables are woven in
circular form to fit the table. This
avoids the heavy ugly folds at ne cor
nerS of square tableclOth spread ON
circular table. A white tableclOth
or one in pale ecru of aX-colored lin,
en- is used at luncheons. At dinner
and at breakfast a white linen cloth is
preferred. This may be of damask or
of plain monte cloth. Some very eIe-
CANT dinner cloths are of heavy linen,
lace and monte cloth, but as a rule
fancy lace and embroidered cloths arc
used at afternoon teas. The tiny
cloths used on the small ia
bles on such occasions are of
