The Linen Weddinq.

When the twelfth year of welded
life has been achieved, it is time to
celebrate the linen" anniversary.
This is an occasion much beloved by
housewives, for was there ever a
woman who did not glory in her linen
closet? For the invitations use
squares of linen written with indelible
ink. The name cards may be done the
same way. If possible, the floors
with canvas, drape chairs and couches
with white and hang white portieres.
The host and hostess should don pure
white for this occasion, and the dear
little blue flax flower should be used
as a table decoration. A miniature
spinning wheel makes a pretty center
piece.
The art of spinning has been re-
vived, and if one is not numbered
among the family treasures perhaps
n may be borrowed for the evening,
and then great amusement is afforded
by arranging a spinning contest.
The prize is awarded to the guest
who can spin the most perfect thread
in five minutes time. Each thread
when finished to be tagged with the
makers name and fastened to a square
of black cloth hung on the wall. Later

horses are imported into Shanghai in
patches of from 20 to- so, are well ia
ken care of on the voyage, and, ar
irving in excellent condition, are put
into use within a couple of weeks aft

1dOW 10 ARRANGE a CORNER
Y or 7hE LINING ROOM 90

FURNISHING the corners of a room
i is not so simple a task as it seems.
The important thing to bear in mind
is that the four corners must harmon
ize with the rest of the room and with
one another. if each is arranged in
4 different way, one general idea
should be followed. The suggestion
given in the accompanying Illustration
for arranging a corne is an excellent
one to copy where simplicity and COM
fort are desired. There is no hint of
stiffness in the arrangement and the
corner seat is made to break up that
abrupt finish so often seen in built-in
seats.
Instead of The corner seats ending
like a diVan or veranda seat they are
joined to tall pieces of furniture. On
the left a high three-cornered cabinet
is built into the wall at an angle of
the room and at the other end another
piece of furniture of different shape
and height is placed against the ends

square and is hung with stenciled cur

use now for country houses is a
coarse Oriental grass cloth of rather
eve weave and in plain colors.
Unless a room is quite large figured
effects do not look well. Where the
material is repeated in the hangings

should be chosen with the utmost

General Demand

of the Uniformed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM

acceptable to the system and gentle, yet

In supplying that demand with its ex-

on the merits of the laxative for it's remark

Would it were possible this morning
to impart to the department the breath

Nine. Merri has been renewing her

This is a wonderful season for
clover, and so the inspiration came for
this party, which anyone a carry
out who is within reach of clover
blooms.
For decorations use red and white
clover in great masses on the porch,
In the rooms and for a center piece.
The latter would be lovely of the eX-
quisite pink and white clovers. 1t is
a beautiful variety, which if sold at so
much a dozen hostesses would spend
their last cent to get it. Then let
b children weave clover chains (per-
haps you'd like to make them your
self, as | did, sending your mind back
to the time when a crown of clover
was the height of elegance). Use
these dainty chains as garlands over
the table, or from the overhead lamp
to the center. OF course, this affair
is informal, with the guests in tub
suits as befit summer functions.
Serve everything cold as far as
possible. Have cold thinly sliced ham,
veal loaf, Saratoga potatoes, sliced
tomatoes and cucumbers on water
cress sandwiches, individual moulds
Of gelatine topped with whipped
cream, iced tea, and add clover honey
with tiny hot biscuits to this repast
and you have a menu fit for the gods.
Make the place cards clover shaped.
If there is a guest to be especially
hOnOred make a four-leaf clover for
her place. We have all had DO ye
