Table Blanket May Be Easily Made

A lengthener Of life for the fine table
cloth is the underpad or silence cloth.
In the days when the cloth was spread
directly over the bare table, wear showed
first on the cloth where IT turned down
over the edge.
While there are many expensive fabrics
made for this purpose, canton flannel is
more easily washed and far cheaper than
anything else. This blanketing should be
fitted under the edges of the table SO
that there is no danger of its hanging

The ball struck the lower left hand
