Mendinq Old Linen.


Old tablecloths can be neatly darned
wherever worn places are apparent. If
they are darned before the threads are
actually worn through they will last a
long time after they are mended. Din
ner cloths that are worn past darning
can be cut down for breakfast and
luncheon cloths or else made into
cloths for the kitchen table. They
should be neatly cut and carefully
hemmed, as their life in this second
form will sometimes be as long as
their life as dinner cloths was. ~ =.
/ Sometimes partly worn cloths are in
good enough condition to make it worth
while to cut them up and hem them
for breakfast and luncheon napkins.
They can also be made into tray cloths
and carving cloths. The making over
of table linen should always be done

Never put your silver away in white

dark red or blue or green cotton fan
mel bags--the kind that jewellers and
silrersmiths use. Fl
And there is a reason for not using
the white bags. There is in the bleach

other chemicals that have tendency
to tarnish the silver when it comes in

of the refreshingly neat looking suits

The American woman is independ-
ent enough to continue to wear an un-
draped skirt and plain coat if it suits
her style best. A plentiful sprinkling
of them appears in any concourse of
fashionable people. But the most sac
cessful and pleasing suits are those
in which the style features of the pre-

severe lines.
