Linen.
1t is no longer the style to use round
cloths, even on round tables. 1t has
been settled that they did not launder

been abandoned.
The woman that is clever with her
nee'le can embroider lunch cloths her
self that will be hard for any but
very full purse to duplicate. One that
Is extremely handsome has linen medal
lions made into the square with an
equal number of insets OF cluny. This
makes the cloth lacy, and to increase
the delicate Transparency the linen
squares are embroidered in open eye

Another cloth that Is almost too love-
ly to use Is made Of center Of linen
with English hand embroidery with
circle Of cluny around it and one OF
flet which Is lace background with
figures darned In. Around this, again,
is a circle of embroidered linen, and the
whole cloth Is framed Of these alternat-
ing rows of lace and embroidered linen.
The edges are scallops Of lace, making
the cloth square, says the st. Louis

Letters on fine tablecloths should be
three inches long and just now these
are put on top Of the border above the
plate line, where they are plainly visi-
BILE. The letter Of the surname should
be a trifle larger, to make 1t the more
conspicuous. For plain linen cloths
these letters are severe In their sim
plicity, without decoration and In
straight lines, whereas for elaborate
cloths there are monographs. surrounded
with a wreath of laurel and small bits
Of ribbon worked through the design.
Two monographs are now placed in
opposite corners In place Of one. as for

ever, rs there are constant changes In
the placing Of the marking devices.
On napkins the letters are from an
inch and three-quarters to two and one
half inches long. They should always
be in a corner where they will show,
no matter how the napkin IS folded.
OF course these must correspond with
the style Of letter on the cloths, but
smaller in proportion. Napkins are
usually to be had IN several sizes, the
largest measuring thirtytwo inches for
dinner napkins and those for break

All kinds Of bulbs are partial to a

selected should be well drained either
naturally or artficially. Again, in fat

1T is really very simple to clean the
sheerest and finest Of iaces if you I'M
derstand how" says woman in the
Pittsburg Dispatch who has made it
practical business for fifteen years
Und who regularly cleans laces for
wealthy society women. II always
soak laces overnight in cold water
after carefully soaping them with
white or CASTLE soap. At the end Of
twelve or fourteen hours l lift them
carefully from the first water and
drop them into lukewarm in which
have previously made the suds. With
the tips Of my fingers l move the laces
gently up and down so that the soapy
water runs through the meshes and
carries out the dirt. AS soon as this
water looks dark l repeat the process
until with the last washing the lace
looks clean and the water is not dis
colored
"a clean cold water is used to rinse
them in, and if desired dip the laces
through a blue water that helps to
whiten those that have become yellow
with age. If the laces are very old
and look lifeless 1 put them through a
thin starch made from gum arabic and
water that is sure to give the coveted
freshness Of even new laces.
Throughout the cleaning l do not
once rub the nets. Once the lace is
pinned in shape on the drying board 1t
should be put in the sun, where it will
dry and whiten as it dries. When re-
moved from the drying board the lace
should be crisp and fresh looking If
it Is not to be used Immediately
would advise rolling and wrapping
helps to keep it white.
occasionally laces look yellow after
the washing, and to take out this I'M
desirable discoioration | rub them all
over with white soap after putting
through the blue water and lay them
fiat on white china plate in the sun.
In most caHs l have found that this
treatment beaches successfully. If it
does not the first time l repeat it until
they are whitened."
One way to clean black lace at home
after thoroughly brushing it with a
soft whlsk to get out the loose dust is
to dip it through ordinary drinking tea
in which a little melted white soap
has been poured. 1t is then rinsed
through clear tea and soaked in u tea
preparation for several hours.
This last washing of tea is made
from one teaspoonful Of gum arabic
the same amount of dry tea, to which
is added pint of boiling water. Aft
err these ingredients have been well
cooked over Il slow fire into a kind of
thin jelly it is strained through cloth
and is ready for use.
The lace is dipped in and out of this
preparation for several minutes and
should then be put to dry, stretching
out the edges and figures in the pat
tern with pins on smooth backing
When dry the lace should be perfectly
clean and free from all spots and
crisp like new.

The rules concerning deep mourning
says the Philadelphia Ledger, are not
as strict as they used to be, particu-

month you may wear very plain white
ruching. 1t depends very much upon
the feelings of the individual when
white may be introduced, but after
wearing very deep mourning with
long veil, according to strict etiquette
the mourning should be first lightened
by wearing short veil and less severe
garb. The rules for deep mourning are
as follows:

TIE FARM ORCHARD.
Enrich ,ncnt of Soil and the c.
Needed by Trees.


The condition of the ordinary IA n
orchard is generally such as to ma ,'
the experienced hOrticulturist feel sad.
Steps toward permanent reform in the
care of the orchard as outlined by Il
writer in Iowa Homestead must be:
First thorough understanding tl.at
fruit is a crop in exactly the sa It
sense as corn or wheat-that is. it re-
quircS Il certain amount of fertility 81

crop consumes certain quantity VI
soil fertility and that that fertility must
be maintained by the same means IL
ployed in the case of other crops. Sec
ond that a certain amount of work
must be given toward the production of
a fruit crop just as in the case of other
crops.
If tie farmer, convinced of this, stands
ready to reform his methods, the first
process will be to restore the fertility
Of the soil to the degree required for a
good crop of corn. To do this he can
employ tie legumes, such as clover and
peas, as well as stable manure and
commercial fertilizers. If the trees are
large. at least quarter load of ma
nure should be given each one, scat
tered as far out as it's limbs extend, or
a top dressing Of the whole orchard

How to Keep Plants From Freezing.
'In placing plants for the winter sea-
son should try to get window with
a southeasterly exposure, where they
will always have plenty of light and
most of the morning sum- and put them
about six inches from the glass, so that
during the severe weather they will not
be close enough to the glass to become
nipped," says writer in the New York
Telegram. "On especially bitter days
a piece of paper wrapped around them
might protect them and prevent a chill
that would retard the growth. If
plant should be frozen, the best treat
ment is ice water applied with industry
continuously from twenty to thirty
minutes, when it should be wrapped in
heavy cloth previously wrung through
cold water and put in cold, dark
room. preferably the cellar or an out
door shed, where it can be laid on the
ground. Little by little the cloth Is
made warmer and the plant is allowed
more light, so that at the end of week
it should have entirely recovered and
