Old English embroidery, sometimes
called eyelet embroidery, is the only sort
Of open work. that can be done on old
linen successfully, and 1t has the merit
of being easy to do. Hardanger work
may be done on linen If IL is coarse aud
the threads strong enough to pull, but
age and laundering weaken the linen too
much for this. Cross-stitch embroidery Is
one of the oldest stitches known; 1t -
seen In ancient tapestries and is very
popular at present for decorating house
hold linens and 1t can be worked out on
the tracery of the pattern in the table
linen IL 1t is a formal design.
To produce n uniform and neat darn In
worn table linen the needle Is of vast
Importance: 1t should be long and this
eye large and round; draw some threads
from the linen hat has been washed
and start the mending with a Queen
Anne cross-s stitch for a foundation and
finish work with dull fine embroidery cot
ton.
As much care is needed when washing
table linen as should be taken for en-
broideries. 1t hould be dried in the sun
and Ironed without starch, or with only a
little If 1t will not polish without 1t. The
ironing-board should be covered with
many thieknesses Of flannel n lastly
with a smooth cloth. Iron all patterned
linen first on the wrong side to raise the
tracery. then turn and polish on the right
side.

Arranging the Table

- $3.50 DCNhf
VIII you kindly tell me the correct way
to place the knives and forks on the
table? | would also like to know from
which side the serving should be done.
Very truly yours. A.. S. r.
The placing of the silver is really IL
matter of individual preference, though
a custom that is more often observed
than n other is that of placing the
knives and spoons to the right of the
plate and the forks to the left. For a
simple dinner to the right of the plate
would be placed the meat knife and
butter spread, then the soup or bouillon
spoon and to the left two forks. one
serving for the meat and vegetable
course and the other for the salad
course. If the soup or bouillon is preced-
ed by a fruit cocktail or Little Neck
clans, the spoon or, fork would be
placed to the right of the knives.
Dishes should be presented at the left
hand of every guest, beginning with
the first course with the lady at the
right of the host and then passing in
regular order as the guests are seated.
After the first course the dishes are
started on their progress round the
table at the left of a lady, but not al
ways the lady at the right of the host,
for the same person must not always
be left to be helped last.
There are many homes where the rule
obtains of serving the hostess first, and
this is a rule that holds good with or
without company. Children learn in this
way by example and custom that the
mother is to be considered first, and
with company this method of serving
places the guests entirely at Their ease.
