POCKET HANDKERca1EFs
The Reason They Are Made Square
Instead OF ObIonE
Interest

1t is not generally known why
pocket handkerchiefs are always
made square The reason is inter-
esting- In the year 1854, on Sep
TENDER %, decree was issued by
the king of France ordering that the
length of all the pocket handker-
chiefs made in the kingdom must
be equal to the breadth and since
that time pocket handkerchiefs have
been made in the shape of a square
all over Europe, says the New York
Observation-Disclosures.
AProPos of linen lore, most in
struetive little booklet, just brought
out, gives comprehensive history
of linen, ancient and modern. More
than 1000 years ago the cultiya ton,
spinning and weaving of flax gave
employment to many of the worlds
inha bitants- Until the esta blishment
of spinning mills in 1925 the scutched
flax was spun into yarn by the farm
ers' wives and daughters, originally
by a distaff and spindle, which was
afterward repla ICED by spinning
wheel worked by the foot. Now
these are employed more for orna-
ment than use and have been super
seeded by new methods The German
linen trade dates back to A. d. 600,
and Russia. Norway and Sweden have
not been neglectfu1 of their linen
manufactures. Ireland, being a BILE to
grow fax and spin the yarn and
weave and bleach the linen, has all
ways taken a first place in this in
dustry, even far back Henry
III. In William HIS reign act
was passed to permit its import into
Enguand, and the trade has gone on
and prospered ever since

out Of the pocket and fall on the
ground or on the table, or any way gel

Even if it does not, the constant jump
