IMPROVING THE TABLE LINEN
palntlly Embroidered Initials Add 70
Appearance as Few other
Things Gym.

Nothing 30 vastly improves the ap-
pearance of table linen as daintiiy en-
broidered initials in the corner. To q
certain degree the fashions change
each season; but a safe rule for the
conservative needlewoman to follow
is:
For tablecloths. letters two inches
long.
For napkins. letters three-quarters
OF an inch long.
Sheets, two inches long.
Other articles are marked according
to the taste of the embroiderer. But
the best method Of marking linen is a
problem which presents itself very
often.
There are many ways to choose be-
sides the plain embroidered initial
stamped either In script or block type.
Perhaps the most attractive method
OF working large initials is to em-
broider the letters over fine net, cut
ting away the linen underneath, so
that when finished 1t will give trans
parent effect that is unusual and beau
tiful
The work is not difficult and can be
done rapidly by one who has any ex.
perience in needlecraft.

REMoRsE FOR STOLEN APPLE
Il Was Taken 20 Years Ago and the
Woman Now Asks Forgiveness
for Act.

Remorse for having stolen an apple
from a department store years ago.
when she was schoolgirl, caused a
st. Paul woman to send a merchant of
Devils Lake, N. D.. letter asking
forgiveness.
The owners of the store say they
know who the woman is but refuse
to disclose her identity.
More than 20 years ago" says the
st. Paul woman, 81 was a schoolgirl
living in Dakota and you were running
the store at the trading point, now
Devils Lake. While on my way to
school one day took big apple from
basket in front Of your place of busi-
ness.
II was converted last Friday night
in a revival meeting being held in one
of the churches In this vicinity and
want to make my wrong right both
with you and my Maker"
The woman explains in the letter
she is the mother OF several children
and that she is afraid unless she
makes everything right they will have
the same instinct that prompted her
to steal the apple and they possibly
may develop into men who will be
menace to society.
The owners OF the store have mailed
the. woman letter granting full for
giveness for taking the fruit.-New
