The table center of to-day Is very
different from that of few years ago.
There are many more varieties than
the all-embroidered or all-lace center
pieces of the past.
Nowadays, different kinds OF nets
and laces are inserted in the linen.
and combined with solid embroidery
or fancy stitches and also with braids.
which are coming into fashion again
These make centerpieces and EN-.
broidery in general much simpler. yet,
at the same time. more effective.
They can also be made with less ex
pense II the proper combinations are
used. Solid embroidery done with
silks. either In colors or white, Is
handsomer than any other kind.
For table centers for everyday use,
which must be Numbered constantly.
the allwhite linen center, worked In
mercerized or plain cotton, with fancy
stitches and simple braids, makes an
effective and inexpensive article.
1t Is easy for anyone knowing little
or even nothing about embroidery in
general to make.
The linen should be shrunken be-

Hemmln0 Table Linen.

Tnblecloths and napkins usually are
finished with French hem. A French
hem Is made by first turning an or
binary hcm-that is, turn one fold and
then turn It over second time. When
the hem has been turned turn It back
on itself SO that the right side OF the
hem lies upon the right side Of the ma.
terial and top sew the edges. In other
words. sew over and over. When this
is finished spread out the hem and
crease It fat. This forms much
stronger hem than the ordinary one
sewed with the usual hemmins stitch.
Only the raw edges OF table linen
should be hemmed. and the hem On
the napkin should be as narrow AZ II

October Festival Can BE Made One Of
the Merriest Of the Year-Spe-
ciaIly Designed Postcards
for Invitations.

For some days requests have been
coming into the department for Hal

the ideas she can possibly find TO as
sist hostesses Of all ages who delight
In entertaining on this merry festival
day. A visit to the stores will CON
vince one that there Is commercial
side TO this recognition OF special
days In the years calendar. For com
paratively small sums the hostess can
buy "Jack-o'-lanterns." pumpkins of
all sizes. vegetables. brownies"
witches" etc. But after all. they do
not appeal to children half as much as
II they had the fun OF making them
at home, for the greatest Joy in LIE to
"A child is to be allowed to assist in the
preparation for a party.
Many letters which come In are
from very young people asking how to
celebrate Halloween. and sometimes
there is pathetic clause like this
Mother is too busy to help. SO We
come to you" It delights Nine. Merri
To be permitted to help. to be of ser,
vice is what the department is for. and
especially to the ones who have busy
mothers. We must all try to remem.
Der that . ii,sia nonsense now and
then is rellshed by the best OF men.

have the mono,ony OF this everyday
world broken by such jolly times as
October 81 brings.
