TABLE pRApERY FoR SUMMER.
Many New and Beautiful Models Seen
This Year.

Dainty napery is an important item
among furnishings for the summer
cottage, and though fashions vary but
little in table linens. each season sees
some slight changes in designs, or
decoration. Most housekeepers make
no change whatever in dinner CLOTHS
and napkins and use the same napery
as when in town, usually fine dsSnask.
hemmed OF hemstitched. Drawn work
Is always popular as a finish for fine
table linen. and many new and beauti-
ful models are seen this year. Bor-
ders so finely worked and drawn as to
appear like fancy braid inserted,
with corners as fragile looking as a
cobweb, decorate dainty doilies, while
holder and heavier patterns ornament
the handsome cloths. Doilies and
table colths are always hemstitched
when trimmed with drawn work The
former come in sizes from the small
square to be placed under finger bowls
to those measuring 12x12 inches.
Table cloths vary IN size from one
yard to two and half yards square,
and come in both simple and elaborate
designs. Every season sees its own
favorite design in damask and this
year the satin spot handsomely bor-
dered predominates. Many women
claim that this kind of cloth shows
of silver and cut glass better than
any other damask ever woven. The
housekeeper who has to economize
finds the spot and dot patterns prove
less expensive than other designs, for
they can often be matched in case Of
an accident to a set. or If some pieces
have become worn before the others.
In buying linen it is well to remember
that the unbleached varieties last
longer, as a general rule, than the
bleached and only few washings will
render them perfectly white.

The only question" Mr.. Ellison

They are not the censors Of public
morals. and ordinarily a person can
dress as he OF she pleases. so long
as the attire worn is not a disguise

pound of sugar, into pair Of scales
and declare there is so much weight,
because, in the first place, the scale
has never been invented that will
weigh 100000 tons. and, in the second
place, the material is not on hand. A
skyscraper must be weighed before it
is built-before the first caisson is
sunk for the foundation or the first
steel column is set up. The scales
are pencil and paper, balanced by
specially trained brains. And, final
ly, the operation Of weighing a mod
ern tall building may cover, when
completed, as many as so or 40 type
written pages. The weight Of New
York's largest skyscraper, now build
ing in Cortlandt street, is estimated
at $4,000 tons.
