Damask tgble cloths and napkins
which have become too worn for their
legitimate uses should be cut into
different sized pieces for doilies, tray
cloths, and to use around corn and
other things served In Q napkin.
AS no housekeeper can have too
many or varied sizes of these table
accessories, even the worst worn
cloths can be made to yield a little
longer service.
Cut some of the pieces oval, others
round, some square and still others
oblong. The finer and better pieces
may be worked with a scallop in white
mercerized cotton. This adds much
to their appearance, and is pleasant
pickup work for odd minutes.
The scallops can be drawn on with
the edge of spool, the size varied by
the size Of spool selected. For the
quite small doilies to be used under
finger bowls or on biscuit plates, the
scallop should be drawn with the edge
Of a hundred spool of cotton and the
inner line should be kept rather shall
low. Tray cloths may have a longer
scallop or they can be worked with a
grouped scallop composed of three
small ones.
This is such quick work that it well
repays the trouble. The ever-diminish-
ing supply Of such things, which every
housekeeper must contend with, can
be overcome by small expense and
little work.
The more worn pieces should be
hemmed either by hand or machine.
While they should not be used on the
table, even for ordinary occasions,
they will be found most convenient
for wrapping up different articles of
food. or, if large enough, can serve as
bureau covers III the nursery, or can
be used as congresses in cases Of ill
ness.

one corner with the embroidered

kins should be of matching quality
and pattern and similarly finished,
and for the buffet, serving table and
the larger ofothe waitress trays there
should be corresponding oblongs.
Mexican and Japanese drawnwork
are much in demand as finishing for
napery, and, done by specialists on the
finest of Irish linen, is at it's best in
floral effects, in fans and in Maltese
crosses. These same PATTERNS are
used to decorate buffet scarfs, center
pieces and doilies, and may quite
properly be used in connection with

Every housekeeper Of every class
and color takes wondrous pride in her
assortment of napery and loses no op-
portunity to add to that store. AL
though we hear much of the vast
quantities Of linen possessed by the
women of an older day, popularity sup
posed to be more industrious as well
as more home-staying than those Of
the present period of feminine clubs
and suffrage-seeking, still the average
housekeeper of to-day devotes consid-
cradle labor to her table linen.
Most women realize that napery is
costly and none more SO than that
which is sold "at bargain" There
fore, it is far wiser for any young
housekeeper to purchase a half dozen
really good cloths of pure linen and
of modest pattern rather than twice
that number that are of fashionable
design and partially cotton. Any
snowy, imitation damask is a mistake,
for it will reveal it's quality after a
first washing.

MAINTENANCE OF PEACE
 IS DESIRE OF JAPAN

Fokio. July 29.-In an interview granted the Associated Press. Gerierai Niscount Terauchi, minister of war and acting minister of foreign affairs. to- day expressed himself as having the keenest desire for the maintenance of peace and the continuation of the friendnest of relations between Japan and all the powers viscount Ter auehi said that the entire Japanese nation. himself included, regarded America as real friend and that in the event of the election of Wm. H. Taft to the presidency. these bounds of friendship would be drawn even closer
 He believed 1t would result. because after three lengthy interviews with MT. Taft at the time of the latter,s visit to Japan, he felt that they reach ed in the course of their talks a mu- tual understanding of the purposes and attitudes of both countries that would make to that end. yiscount Terauchi fntimated that the future policy of Japan would not tend toward military expansion, but onf the con- trary. would see the entire energy of the country devoted in a direction to productive instead of unproductive ex- penditmres Viscount Terauchi said.
 T know that in certain quarters the impression exists that the Japanese o AS AoA pSAAA5 0CeA6nS AOI An adventurous foreign policy. This fm-. pression Is said to be gaining ground In consequence of the fact that Pre- mier Katsura presides over the new cabinet. and because I, a soldier, am in temporary charge of the departnoant of foreign affairs. That such A n11s- apprehension can be seriously enter tained Is due either to Ignorance oI the actual situation. or misdIrected prejudice.
 T am sure that the idea finds ahso- lutely no echo in the thoughts of un biased observers of the progress bf affairs in this country.
 Nobody appreciates more keenIy the blessings of peace than those who have experienced the awful scourRe of war. In the case of Japan, scarce ly three years have passed since we emerged from the most sanRuinarv struggle that history has ever re- corded. All the horrors of war are still in the memory of our people and under these circumstances it Is only natural that the government should give It's undivided attention to the re- adjustment of national affairs, and the improvement of economic condi- tions.
 Tn order to obtain this object the maintenance of peace Is manifestIy of the most vital importance to Japan and departure from that policy would inevitably end in failure"

The steps to be taken to meet this obligation were made mystery of and the information on the subject consisted of rumors that bank CTS were in consolidation over the details of the plan The reticence of the supposed parties to the plan was believed to be due in part to tactics of negotiation. There was nothing to indicate a marked change in the condition of the crops The estimates of private experts on the cotton crop promise an improvement of condition for the month to be shown by the government report soon to be issued
