KEEP UP LINENS

A systematic housekeeper sees TO Il
that her supply Of linen never gets low.
To bring about this much-to- be-desIred
result, she has made It a rule for years
to purchase annually a dozen face
towels. a pair Of sheets, at least OEe
tablecloth, four bath towels, and a doz-
en- napkins. Of course, the amount OF
linen needed varies greatly with the
size Of the household. but a little study
OF the condition of the linen supply
