THE HOUSEHOLD LINENS.

rs there housekeeper anywhere who
DOESN'T take pride in her linens? If
there is, she has my sympathy, for she
has lost one of the greatest pleasures of
the mistress of home.
love for the home and for home things is
or rare to win and hold our affections.
Xou who have simple little dwelling love
1t just as dearly as your wealthy neighbor
sion; in fact I am not sure but what 1t
means more to you. When you have
planned and worked for some addition to
of plentshing is marked to you with the
scented you value your belongings far more
than If you had only to go out and order
anything which took your fancy.
To my mind this principle applies with
especial force to- household linens. They
may be picked Up one by one they require
care and pains tor their preservation, and
each piece seems almost to have an in
ddviduality of its own. and when 1t finally
goes you have q genuine sense of loss.
When you went TO housekeeping you
started. hope, with fair stock of sheets,
pillow slips, towels, tablecloths, napkins,
doilies, centerpieces, and the like. Now

Of staples to begin with. The +" frills " may

or as you have opportunity to get them.

Recipe for Soap Wanted.

:" Can you give me recipe for making soap
at home from cottonseed oil? 1t would be
helpful to US in the south, where the oil
is cheap. 1t is so much like olive oil that
I should expect the soap to be very nice OF
course, the recipe must be for a small guam
tity, requiring, I should say, from two
quarts to a gallon of oil. F. D. L.
Use exactly the same recipe as for soap
containing clarified drippings-otherwise

AT least. this is what should do had
no better guide in the manufacture. Per-
haps some other southern house mother
may have specific and trustworthy form

about bringing up children published some
weeks back in the Helping Hand.
Suffer a mother to whom the matter
is of almost supreme Importance to tell
other mothers how to manage growing
boys.
Keep them near you and at home. It
should be the sweetest memory of the men
in after days. If there be no other out
door range for them where you can watch
them, let them play In the yard. They may
trample the turf and now and then break
flower. They are worth all the grass and
flowers in the world. Play with them
when you can tabe time. and let them
always be sure that you are interested in
what they are about.
LET your boy bring his tools into the
kitchen, or into whatever place is your
workroom. If you cannot let him have a
regular nursery or workshop let him ham,
mer and saw where you are. When lie has
finished his Job make him comprehend that
it is as much a part of his trade to sweep
the floor and put away his tools as 1t Is
yours to straighten up the room when your
sc wing or cutting out or cooking is done
Don't let him think it a hardship, but a
part of the game, as 1t were. Praise his
workmanship and tell him what fine fell
low he will be when he grows up II he
keeps on as he has begun.
This policy is not always easy to carry
out. When you are tired and nervous
noisy, restless boy is not sedative. Bear
in mind that it Is better to bear a little
noise and endure the sight of Uttered
floor than to have the boy upon the street
to learn evil of speech and action and get
into no end of scrapes-

Give Linen Personal Care.

When your store is once laid IN your work
has only just begun. Your linen closet-I
hope you have linen closetI-cannot run
itself automatically. Neither can it safely
be left to the care of any servant. Only
the owner OF the linens will cherish them
ms they require.
To begin at the beginning, what Is your
plan Tor using your linens? There are two
ways Of doing thds. One Is to select a certain
proportion of the articles and give them
constant use. leaving the others untouched
until the first lot wears out thus rendering
it sure that you will always have some per-
feet articles in hand. When the first sup
ply begins to show signs of hard usage new
ones can be taken into service.
The other plan, which myself pursue, IS
TO use your linens evenly keeping them
all in service, and employing them in ro-
tation. In order to do this with the least

You may vary this salad by chopping an

them into cubes and boil with slice OF pork

she had calmly disresarded my prohibi-
ton and the damask told the tale.
In connection with this let me say that
there is no need for such detersives except
in rare cases. A towel or napkin should
not be permitted to get so dirty that II
takes hard scrubbing to get 1t clean. Such
scrubbing may safely be said to injure the
fabric as much as the defensive. Many
housekeepers complain they cannot afford
frequent changes of linen at table or o.
towels. but in the end it turns out to be tho
poorest sort of economy to change so seldom
that the article is stif with dirt. Washing
costs less than new supplies. and the sooner
this is learned the better for the purse.
But with the utmost care new supplies
must be purchased now and then, and the
best way to replenish the stock is by de-
grees. Don't wait until everything is worn
out before you begin to lay in more, but buy
a. you have opportunity. Except to
rather prosperous housekeeper the pull OF
buying a dozen or two of new towels IS
pretty severe, and it is as hard to get
whole round of new sheets or pillow slips.
\. =
Watch for "White Sales"
Keep a lookout for the announcement OF
white sales" and when one OF these Is
advertised pick up a few bargains. No
OF sheets or pillow slips at a time or a
couple Of towels. Do this as YOU have the
chance. You won't feel it If you get couple
of towels a month, a pair of sheets every
other month. A dozen napkins or even a
tablecleth is more of tug-I have never
seen the time when good damask did not
make a strain on the purse-but even tina is
easier than finding all the table linen gone In
holes at once ana the necessity of getting
a fresh stock all over the establishment
upon you at one time. And If you watch
for the bargain sales aforesaid there is al
ways a change that you will find articles
ct a good deal less than they would be as
general thing.
Practice linen economies when you can.
Don't give the small boys the finest quality
Of towels to dry their hands on. Don't you
know how the little chaps use water and
soap just to loosen the dirt, and then en-
ploy the towels to remove it? Can't Won

trouble you may either put the fresh lin en-
which comes from the wash at the bottom
of the pile or you may each week take the
articles you need from the lowermost layer
placing the clean pieces on the top This
tnsures even wear for the whole stock. II
you take your towels. for instance, from the
bottom OF the heap. you are sure to get
those which were not last used and each
towel has its share of service.
When I speak of keeping all my linens in
service I do not mean that put all qualities
into one general stock. Every housekeeper
has certain pieces devoted to service on
special occasions, and these go into piles
by themselves. In my own linen closet the
various articles are sorted and labels are
typewriter and pasted to the shelves under
them. The tags may be read at glance:
' Cotton sheets, SINGLE" cotton sheets
double linen pillow slips" cotton pill
low Slips" " fine towels" plain towels"
trough towels" " washcloths." etc.
X u
Arrangement of The Supplies.
The pieces in most constant USE like the
cotton sheets. the plain towels, and the
wash cloths are the nearest at hand; the
linen sheets are on lower shelf, to be kept
there until warm weather brings them into
service; the fine towels are with the best
bureau scarfs and spreads on a higher
shelf. but still within easy reach. The sys-
tenn which planned their arrangement also
directs the order of their employment, and
I am able at a glance to tell the state of
any set of supplies.
But it is not enough to keep your linen in
shape where 1t will be used evenly
Much more vigilance Is demanded than
that. Some of my most cherished pieces
have come to grief because Illness press
of other calls upon my time forced me to
leave to a maid the inspection of my linen
before it went to the wash and on its return.
If you mean to save your sheets and pill
low slips. and towels you must give them
glance before they go into the laundreSs
hands Often a. stitch set then will heal
a little break that washing would develop
into a gaping hole. The henstitching OF
your towels which has begun to break may
be caught up in two minutes now. If you
wait until 1t comes home you will find the
hem hanging in strip which will require
half an hours work If it is to be repaired
properly.

One INSPECTION Not Enough.

Even the preliminary inspection of the
linen does not do all for it that is needed.

almost any season of the year try the en-
