THE LATEST FASHIONS IN
TABLES AND TABL OTHS

OctagonaI luncheon cloths and plate
doiltes made OF fine Italian hand woven
linen are 10 replace the obIong or
square sable pieces which have been III
favor for so long a tiIne. These shapes.
besides being new. have never been
used extensively before. and in addition
to this fact their popularity is increased
by their really artistic designs.
Beside the octagon shaped linens the
table runners with plate and glass
doilies TO match Will be most used, A
most unique appearance is given to the
table by these attractive lengths OF
linen, which are usually about two and
one-haIf yards long and twenty-five
inches wide. The dOilies are exact du-
plicates OF the luncheon covers.
Not less attractive than the shapes of
these linen pieces is the material of
which they are made. for the heavy
and rather grayish looking Italian linen
is wholly different from the usual fine
damask of which most table cloths and
doilies are woven, for instead OF being
a fine weave. the linen is coarse, and
woven by hand is noticeably uneven.
This lack OF symmetry in the weave is
most desirable. becaU-e it is Indicative
OF the hand-WOven fabric.
Reticella is the most effective decora-
