USE FOR OLD TABLECLoThS.
When Worn, They Are Made Into
Covers for Card Tables.

One housekeeper has found some
what novel use for her old tablecloths
that are too worn for use; she cuts
them into covers for her card tables.
As the family is an inveterate lover
of games Of all sorts there are num-
Der OF the green-covered card tables
in the house. These soon get so dusty
as to soil light dresses. To prevent
this they are covered each time before
playing with squares made from the
old tableclOths.
The cloth is cut into squares two or
three inches larger than the table. are
hemmed neatly all around and tapes
are fastened at each corner to tie the
cover around the legs Of the table.
If one has no old tablecloth that can
be converted to such use, cheap and
attractive covers can be made from
heavy linen. with a narrow scallop en-
broidered around the edge and mono
gram i'm one corner that rests on the
table If desired. the corners can be
cut at right angles To make the cloth
fit more easily and prevent it from
slipping up.

LATEST THING IN RUGS.

Not SO Called.

Great grandmother rag carpets are
travelling under an assumed name. AS
YOU all know, they are now Martha

ture since their revival.
They still are made on an old mana
loom, but of new rags-not really rags
after all. but Of new satern carciuilN
cut into even widths. and the thinnrst

The shades of material used in thes"
rugs are varied according to the gen
eral effect desired. and what cannot be
accomplished in the cotton material
Is gained by the careful selection OF
colOrs in the cotton chain. These light
er-weight rugs made OF tape are so
pliable as to be useful for table Gov
ers in studies. nurseries or even IN a
general sitting room where there are
many children and things are designed
for hard usage; also they are used to
cover cushions for studio purposes or
porches. The rugs made with col
ored chain are warmer in tone. but
serviCeable, because they are more
successfully Numbered, which. in this
case, is a polite way of describing the
washing process. for in these pariicu'
lar rugs it may best be accomplished
by laying them on smooth surface
and scrubbing them with household
scrub brush or else by putting them
into washing machine.
