UTILIZING ODD BITS OF LACE
Beautiful Table Cover May Be Evolved
From Scraps That Otherwise
Would Be Thrown Away.

A lovely. If somewhat costly, table
cover recently seen in one of the shops
suggested one of the numerous ingeni-
GUS ways now in vogue Of employing
satisfactorily any scrap OF lace or
needlework one happens to have in
the house.
This table cover or tea cloth, about
sixty inches square, in ecru linen, was
cut out round the edges into four
blunt corners. nvided by four van
dykes. Between each peak was in
serted, point upward, a threa-cornered
specimen of filet lace. while larger
ones. peak downward, were sewn along
the base of the blunt corners.
A lace insertion framed the center,
filed at the corners with motif OF
broderie anglaise, crossed with bars
and connected with powderings Of the
open work. Each Of the four sides Of
the frame was tipped with diamond
medallion in filet lace. and round the
outside edges Of the linen square was
a white linen fringe with spaced tas-
sells.

Then, after pause, she added:
