popular, the bracelets probably best

And one girl hit upon clever way

METHODS IN DRYING LINEN.
The Right Way TO Bring Out the
Proper Gloss.


When hanging your linen to dry, use
two lines comparatively close and
parallel for your tablecloths and
sheets.
Throw one selvedge side of your
tablecloth over one line toward the
other. allowing 1t to hang down about
a quarter of a yard, and being careful
to pin II a short distance from the
ends, Take the opposite of your cloth
and throw 1t over the other line and
pin 1t In the same manner
This will form a sort of bag. and
will prevent to a considerable extent
the wild blowing OF the tablecloth in
windy weather
After the table linen is thoroughly
dried remove 1t from the line and pre-
pare TO dampen ii. A whisk broom is
excellent for the purpose
Table linen, in order to bring out tho
bright gloss that makes it attractive,
should be dampened quite consider
ably.
Sprinkle the tablecloths freely, be-
ing sure that the selvedge ends or
hemstitched borders are thoroughly
damp. Roll up tightly. patting the roll
frequently to spread the dnmpness.
