Embroiderinq Table Linen.

All household linen in homes Of
wealth, or where the housewife is ex.
pert with the needle, is marked with
embroidered monOgrams or initials,
preference being given to the English
open-work embroidery or the French
seeded. At present tablecloths are
marked with two monograms, one at
either end. or diagonally at opposite
corners. Where the napkins shall be
marked is a matter of individual pref.
erence, dependent upon the way in
which the napkin is to be folded. The
most common way is to mark them
In the center Of the last
square when the napkin Is folded. For
napkins the size of the letters Is usual
ly one. or one and a quarter Of an
inch. For tablecloths they are from
three to eight inches in diameter.
