Household Linens.

Quite an interesting article is found
in January Good Housekeeping on
embroidered household linens. The
writer gives some new suggestions
which we offer our Florida readers
She says:
The first things to consider are the
towels. Hand towels, which should
be of linen huckabuck, are better
bought by the yard, and made with
narrow hemstitch hem, the size when
finished being Is by ~ inches. A
single one and half inch letter is
placed the width of the hem above
it in the center of one end. Large
towels are also of linen huckabuck "a
by 40 inches, either hemstitched or
scalloped at each end, or one end
hemstitched and the other scalloped
The hens should be two and half
inches deep with a letter the same
style three inches high, placed three
inches above the center of the hem
Damask towels usually have scalloped
ends and when finished are "a by 40
inches. A monogram with letters
three and half inches high is placed
three inches from the top of the seal
lop at the center. In selecting bath
towels, those with a plain border are
preferred, with single letter or mon

ogram worked in a catstitch in dark
blue and outlined in a lighter shade
This style is also good for inexpen-
sive towels and bed linen.
Linen sheets and pillow cases may
seem expensive, but if one considers
that they wear better than cotton the
difference in expense will not be
thought of. 1t is not satisfactory to
give measurements for these as pill
lows and mattresses differ in size
Select a heavy round thread "ten-
quarter" sheeting, as the thread is
smooth and easily drawn, if one
wishes a hemstitched hem. The hem
should be two and half inches deep
For these a monogram looks better
and should be three inches high and
placed two and a half inches above
the center of the hem. IF a scallop
is preferred it is better to turn up a
hem two inches and embroider the
sca1lop at the top of the hem, thereby
forming a double edge. A border of
French embroidery or eyelet work
just above, with single letter, makes
a more elaborate set. A handsome
and new idea is a scallop and crest
with a single letter. Pillow cases
should match with smaller monogram
Or single letters.
The table linen calls for special at
tention. There is no style which is
SO popular and in such good taste
as the monogram. It is three or
three and a half inches high and
placed either at the left side diagon-
ally, fourteen inches from the corner,
or directly in the center above the
plate. A new departure is to have
the initials of the host placed directly
above his plate or at the left hand
corner and the initials of the hostess
in a corresponding position The nap
kins should match, though the mono
gram should not be more than one
and a half inches high. If one wishes
less work, one two-inch letter to
match that on the cloth is in good
TASTE
All good initial work should be
done in a frame or hoop and much
depends upon the material being tight
Use one strand of French darning
cotton for filling letters from two
to five inches, and do not be afraid
to put in plenty of padding in medium
size stitches, lengthwise of letters
Do not work over and over from the
upper side of the frame, but pass the
needle in and out The outside
stitches must be worked crosswise of
letter and the stitches pulled evenly
and tightly over the padding and
placed side by side. When finished,
while the material is still tight in the
frame, bone stilleto rubbed over the
letters gives that high polish found
in all French work.

Shall we women in Florida resolve
that this new year will find us in the
same old ruts, or shall it be that we
will determine to accomplish more
and advance in all lines? Let us ele-
vate the home duties to the high and
dignihed plane they rightly deserve.
Let us be the "Do-somethings" this
year.
In our readings much interesting
matter comes before us as to the rear
ing and moulding of the young lives
Of the girls in the homes. We over
heard two mothers recently discuss
ing plans and means to keep girls at
home afternoons after school hours.
One mother says, "Dont you think
it is our fault if we do not gain the
end desired?" and the other said "no,"
and she in Our estimation is very
nearly correct. There is something
in the makeup of the present young
girl that demands and Graves excite
ment and young companions1ip
Just how to guide and win her to the
mothers side is the perplexing ques-
ton. One thing is sure, the mother
must be companionable, as far as
possible, and that is one of the diff
cult duties to perform with so many
hindrances in the way of household
cares, etc.
A word to Our girls-to come down
to the practical test-what are you
aiming at? That must have some
thought and consideration in your
young life. Are you trying to make
this old world brighter and thinking
of others instead of self? Don't let
self" take up too much of your
thought. Make the home bright and
CHEEKY SO. that all the home circle
will want you about them and yearn
for your presence when absent Take
UP some household duty as your own,
such as keeping the sitting room in
order, or the dining room. Take an
interest in mothers work and help
her and you will be surprised how in
teresting your own home will be-
come.

Mr.. Blaine, when I say 10 o'clock I

Medicine has as its object the treat

US or financial position of the patient
says the London Hospital. Existing
conditions of practice make welEnigh
impossible the attainment Of this OBJ
ject, and it is desirable alike in the In
terests of the public and Of the rank
and file of the profession that some
more satisfactory organization of the
conditions of practice should be
found. Nothing short OF civil serv-
ice will meet the requirements Of the
situation. There is q growing feel
ing, if we mistake not, inside as well

this solution of the problem, and there
is no question that this feeling vii

NEW york clTYs BIG DEBT.
Metropolis of the Nation Is Decidedly
Extravaoant.

New York city is the master bill
contractor in the world, and the in
dividual citizen owes more as a citi-
zen of New York than he does as a
citizen of the United States. Next to
New York the % larger cities of the
United States. in the order of their
population. are as follows; Chicago,
Philadelphia, St Louis, Boston, Balti-
more. Cleveland, Buffalo, San Francis
co. Cincinnati, Pittsburg, New Or
leans. Detroit, Milwaukee. Washing.
ton, Newark, Jersey City, Louisville,
Minneapolis, Providence, Indianapolis,
Kansas City. ST. Paul, Rochester,
Denver and Toledo. Their population,
according to the census of 1900. was
about $500, 600. against 3.437. 900 for
Greater New York. 1t Is not likely
that this proportion has changed
much. Now, the total bonded indebt-
edness of these Is cities is about
SAT- 100000 almost 500. 100000 less
than that Of the metropolis. This
means that the per capita debt of the
citizens of New York is $145.35
against $43.45 for those Of the other
large cities Boston with SIG and
Cincinnati with STA come the nearer
to approaching New York's record
while Chicago and San Francisco, ow

Monument to Ben King.

The citizens Of st. Joseph Mich, will
erect a monument to perpetuate he
memory OF Ben King Ben King was
born there and the St. Joe people are
proud Of 1t, and want all the world TO
know it, The movement is in the
hands OF committee and is we'll under
way.
Ben King has been dead thirteen
years. He did not taste the sweetness
of fame druing his short career 1t is
only III the last few years that the
world has recognized the worth Of his
literary work.
If there ever was a child Of genius
"a term very loosely employed-Ben
King was one. For a decade or so pre-
vious to his death in 1924 lie was ia
miiiar figure III Chicago circles that
were interested In literary matters. He
did odd Jobs Of newspaper work and
odd jobs OF literary work. lie was a
professional entertainer at odd times
and recited his own poems. He was a
natural musician and played the piano
effectively.
Some Of his verse was very good, and
most of his poems found a ready mar
ket. He was natural poet; the
knack of spinning rhymes was born in
him The same keen sense OF humor
and ready wit that made him a prince
of entertainers to a great number of
friends was a feature Of all his verse.
Ills poems were humorous. otter TO
the point Of whimsicality. and there
was always laugh in them.
Many Chicagoans viii remember
with smile Ben Kings suffering
poem. If I Could be by Her" it was
funny in itself and when rested by
the author Ii never failed to bring
down the house. Several poems de
scribing scenes and events across The
lake. notably. odd St. Joe are great
favorites with his fellow townsmen.
Probably the best example Of Ben
Kings whimsical verse Is If I Should
Die Tonight"
fl should die tonight
And you should come to my cold
corpse and say.
Weeping and heartsick Ger my lifeless
clay
If should die tonight
And you should come III deepest griei
and woe
And say. Here's that ten dollors tha

After Ben Kings death Nixon Wa
terman and the Chicago Press club
collected his poems and endeavored to
find publisher. The attempt failed
for four years Then new Chicago
publishing firm decided to make 1t its
first publication. In the nine years
since tho collection appeared thousands
Of copies have been sold, and the de-
mand is steadily increasing.
st. Joe will erect the monument to
Ben King not so much because he was

DO that Ben King is the first to gain
the honor.
