articles. -
French embroidery is the most approved

Sheets are stamped exactly in the mid
die Of the top end, about two or three
inches from the hem, with, the top OF
the letter toward the middle Of the sheet,
so that the letter reads correctly when the
Sneel Is turned pack. Pillow cases are
marked in the same manner, with letters
two inches above the hem, the low end of
the letters nearest the hem. The letters
on towels should be in the same relative
