Every housewife takes or should
take lively interest in her household
linen, and, unlike her sisters Of old,
she is not obliged to spin. her bed
clothes with her own fair hands. She
may, of course. embrolder or hemstitch
by way of decoration, but that is all
The housewife of today takes as much
pride in her store linen. as did her
grandmother in the work Of her own
hands. The closet may be either an
old carved oak chest or low box con-
verted into an ottoman and draped
with cretonne. Failing one Of these.
an old trunk may be utilized OF there
may be some recess at the landing of
the stairs which could very well serve
the purpose.-American Queen.
