FINE TABLE LINEN
PRETTY NOVELTIES FOR WARM
WEATHER USE.
Hints in Making and Best Styles Sug.
gested for Marking and
Keeping.
for The Evening Star,

| Written for The Evening Star.
Be it known that bare tables are to be the
fashion this summer. Let women who have
handsome and well-polished covers Of ma
hogany, oak birch, cherry or walnut re-
joice, for they may arouse the envy of less
fortunate sisters particularly if they have
| or can obtain handsome supply of center
pieces and doilies.
Already the shops are filled with speci
mems of summer napery. Round center
pieces predominate for the reason that the
round table is accounted the most modish.
In style these decorations are of the finest
plain linen decorated either with white en-
broidery Irish lace or drawn work. All
white tables are now accounted chic and at
fashionable houses the flowers give the only
touch of color.
A centerpiece of plain linen surrounded
by Irish lace is, of course, the ultra smart
table piece because Irish is the English
coronation lace. Nevertheless some very
handsome table furnishings are adorned
with Bruges, point de Nenise, renaissance
and other less expensive laces. Linens en-
broidered in white wash silk and drawn
work come next in favor.
Prices vary for centerpieces. They may
be had at prices ranging from So to 500.
Doilies cost from So to $50 dozen, ac
cording to quality and size.
In selecting linen the greatest care must
be exercised, for so many clever limitations
are on the market that even an experienced
housewife may be deceived. One good test
of quality is said to be wetting the fabric.
If it absorbs the moisture readily, it may
be accepted as linen; otherwise it Is cotton
or some combination of cotton and flax.
Owing to the SmoothneSS of linen, il
wears better than cotton, which has a wool
ly surface. Flax is heavier and more COM
pact than cotton fibers and consequently
stronger.
Hand-woven linens are now no longer to
be obtained, and many aged ladies love to
tell of the superior wearing qualities of the
handmade goods. The superiority, if there
was any, was due to the old-fashioned man.
ner of bea ching the cloth. Instead of using
chemicals the cloth was bleached on the
grass. Old-time housewives would not even
wash their best linens with strong soaps.
but rinsed them carefully and depended
upon the sun to whiten their surfaces.
Durable Fabrics.
Flax thread, even when woven into cloth,
| Is brownish color, owing to the presence
in its fibers of peculiar gum This gum
binds the fibers together and is essential to
its preservation. The sun merely destroys
this substance upon the surface, but allows
1t to remain undisturbed in the body of the
fabric. Chemicals and soap powders pene-
| trate the material and leave an undermined
and weakened thread. Unbleached linens

Daring Toilets for Salt Baths.

Ever gayer and more daring grow the
bathing dresses. Double skirts and suits of
white trimmed with black stir feminine in
terest along the beaches. A white serge
dress set off with stitched bands of dead
black mohair will catch the eye in a crowd
arrayed in colors, especially if the wearer
ties up her fair hair in cool black silk
kerchief. There are those who hold that
the bathing skirt cut to simulate two
founces is unduly heavy, while there are
equally expert bathers who insist that just
that weight is requisite to comfort when in
the sea. However that may be, the double
skirt has come evidently to stop with us
Tor season at least, and furthermore it is
braided. Very recently a pretty new bath
ing shoe, lacing up to the knee, where in
some secret manner 1t fastens to the gar
ter, has made its appearance and met with
a warm reception.
In other departments Of sport there is
even less evidence Of severe dressing than
about the bathing beaches. Women go
automobiling in trained gowns with rather
velvet ribbon and decorated with big choux
and tails of the same. The semi-profes-
sional red has disappeared, not only from
the horseless carriage but from the golf
links. and nothing is more significant of
change of heart and of interest in sport
than the way the women dress their necks.
A whack at the tennis balls is taken in
high transparent stock of lace or in a per-
fectly fiat small sailor collar Of lace and
batiste under which is knotted a soft strip
ed Joinville scarf. Around the outdoor
ping-pong table gloves are regarded as
necessary. and all the yachtswomen wear

Harvard and in orange and black for
Princeton, are recommended and sold for
pocket carriage. OF bone or of celluloid
a spring fan is made, RoTbigger than shoe
horn and much the same shape.
At one end of this nice contrivance a
paddle wheel closely resembling an ocean
steamships propeller is set and put in mo-
ton by pressing the thumb against a small
button at the base Of the handle. Touch
your thumb to the button and a breeze
springs up. More conventional and truly dec
orative than these two new contrivances, that
have been especially introduced for summer
dances, are the still small fans made of
painted pima cloth. The scenes on the pima
cloth, which, by the way, comes from
Manila, are all of Spanish of pure Phil
ippine sentiment, and are galy coored and
Spangled. The mounting is done with brown
and slightly perfumed eastern wood.
Styles for Juveniles.
All in purest white is the new rule for
chidrens evening dress. so far as conclu-
sions can be drawn from a tour of a big
shop devoted to juvenile dress and also from
one of the first of the young peoples
parties. Rich mothers show a regrettable
tendency to put their small boys and girls
into expensive white silk coats as we'll as
gowns and suits of an evening or afternoon.
when any festivity is afoot, and every girl
is well aware from her cradle up of the uses
of lace. Simple Valenciennes edging and
insertions used to be regarded as amply
magnificent for any little miss; heavier lace
application now adorns the frocks worn
from two years and up. Sometimes the lace
is real, oftener it is a handsome and equal
ly satisfactory imitation, such as that
used on the white china silk frock sketched
as suited for a girl of eight or ten years.
White imitation Irish lace motifs and a
rich yoke of the same are all the decoration
used on this handsome but quite mex
penSive dancing dress. MARY DEAN

How to Pack a Trunk

Packing trunk is one of those things
that each and every woman is confident she
knows how to do better than any one else
but the truth is there are good packers
and very bad packers though no one will
own that she packs badly
In packing, many people make the mis-
take of putting the garments that are easi-
est mussed on top, but an expert packer
puts them at the bottom of the trunk
where they are held firmly, for tight pack
ing is the secret of good packing Many
persons when packing seem to lose sight
altogether of when and under what cir
cumstances they are to do the unpacking
and yet this is an important consideration
when comfort is taken into account
The things that will be first needed should
of course, go into the trunk last such as
the garments to sleep in and the toilet ar
ticles, as the destination is usually reached
pretty late in the day.
Few persons are silly enough to carry shoe
polish or a bottle of ink in a trunk and
thus risk their whole outfit for trifiing
convenience that may be had even at a viii
lage shop in the far-away country no less
than at any seaside mountain resort to
which one may be going.
Some kind-hearted country friend may
urge you to carry home in your trunk
jar of the delicious preserved ounces that
you have been enjoying during your stay,
but be sure to forego the pleasure of the
preserves in favor of your best gowns or
you will rue the day you transport it sub
ject to the baggage smasher's gentle ham
ding.
Most trunks have separate compartments
for crushable bonnets but the fiat hats of
this season may easily be laid on top of the
dresses and their bows and flowers straight
ened out if they should get bit pressed
down.
Good travellers see to it that their trunks
have the hasps, locks and buckles in good
order before packing, as that is the time to
have them repaired if needing it. They
also have a long broad strap to buckle
round the trunk as a final security against
bursting open, which carelessly packed
trunks have been known to do.
Many society ladies find it the more con-
venient way to have a small handbag as
well as one mammoth "Noah's ark"
1t is by far the most sensible way to take
ones belongings on a trip, and sometimes.
If one is to stay at farm house, the STAIR
ways are almost too narrow to admit the
passage of the immense trunk.
Steamer trunks are just right, and IL
several are taken they can be stored away
when uupacked or, with cushions laid on
them. make extra seats in the room.
