Fashions in Household Linens.

There are fashions In household
linens as we'll as in gowns. yet the
most elegant women are apt to make
their selections from staple products
which are always in favor. For ex-
ample, tie ball and snowdrop patterns
In table liren are deemed standard by
all housewives. Plain linens are also
much N vogue. Many of the hand
soonest plain cloths have a cipher or
monogram embroidered n two corners
Of the cloth. Their are as well a num-
Der of new designs, the chrysanthemum
being favorite pattern. Napkins
come with each cloth, both with hem
stitched and plain hens. Napkins
should be marked with the embroid-
cred initials about three inches from
the corner. Table cloths inserted with
lace are no longer fashionable. White
centre pieces lave almost entirely re-
placed colored designs. Lace designs
are, however, seen In the centre pieces
and doylles used on the bare tables for
luncheons.

A Historical Storm.

The chief of the forecast division of
the weather bureau, in a recent official
report of the recent Galveston disas-
ter, writes this was the severest
storm that ever occurred in the
United States
The storm wave that accomplished
the great havoc in Texas in September
is comparable with the greatest
storms of recent centuries. The most
memorable of these are the storm
wave which. in the sixteenth century
swept the Lincolnshire coast in Eng
land; the storm waves that swept the
Gauges delta in 1864 and again in 1876
(the latter causing 100000 deaths): the
wave accompanying the Lisbon earth
quake in 1855, and the Indianola dis
asters in Texas in 1875 and 1886.
1t is estimated that during the re-
cent Galveston storm the wind blew
at the rate of 120 miles an hour short
ly after s o'clock on that memorable
night

The Long Sleeved Apron

A housewife who has not long
sleeved, loose apron that comes well
down over her dress skirts, 1t Is safe
to say, does not realize how conve-
nient it is. In coming home from shop
ping or calling, near meal time, time
may be saved by slipping on the apron
over the dress that one would not wish
to do kitchen work in, and going i'm
mediately about preparing the meal.
Often, too, one wishes to do little jobs
which might soil dress, after getting
ready to go out. This is especially
true Of the farmers wife or daughter,
who often must harness and hitch up
her own horse. 1t is much more con-
venient to dress before getting the
carriage to the door. 1t takes but a
moment to slip the apron on or off,
and it will save time and good dresses
on many occasions.-The Epitomist.
