HINTS ABOUT LAUNDRY WORK
Proper Way to iron Table Napkins
Try ThIs New Method on
Your Shirt Waist.

Let the napkins stand for some time
before pressing. Then shake them
out, n at a time, and spread out per
fectly square on the board. right side
up. Avoid stretching the goods. Nap
kins should be jroRed first on the right
side. then on the wrong and back
to the right until quite dry.
For monogrammed napkins iron the
monogram from the wrong side and
fold with the monogram on the out
side.
In ironing shirt waists start on the
neckband. Lay IT In front of you. par
allel with the edge OF the board. and
iron on the right side until partly dry.
then turn to the wrong side and finish
with the right side. This will give the
requisite smoothness and gloss. Then
turn to The wristbands and other
starched parts, treating them the same
way.
In pressing the sleeves fold them
at the seams and iron from the seam,
but not across the opposite fold, as
this will form a crease down the
sieevs which will look ugly when
worn.

HOW TO USE FLOWERS
STUDY OF PLANT HABITS AND
GROWTH ESSENTIAL
kaynote Of an Artistic Floral Decors-
ton Now Is IrreguIarity and tho
Surface Space Must Be
Well Balanced.

The woman who s to employ
flowers for decorative purposes should
nelve deeply into the study of plant
life to become familiar with their hah-
its and growth.
Flowers Of a stiff, upright growth do
moi lend themselves readily for deco
ration. When they are used. their nat
ural tendencies must be humored, Ii
the effect is at all artistic.
The erstwhile popular custom of
banking cut flowers or growing plants
and festoonins with heavy ropes of
evergreens no longer obtains.
The more artistic and natural,
loose. graceful arrangement of flowers
and plants Is now used, and bare
stretches of wall are bridged over
with delicate trailing vines, supple
mented by generous sprays and
branches Of foliage.
Receptacles for cut flowers should
be neutral In color, and In shape fol-
low the main lines OF the flower. When
highly colored. fancifui shapes are
used the beauty or harmony Is de-
stroyed.
The keynote OF an artistic floral dec
Grafton is irregularity. There must be
no geometric arrangement to tire the
eye: no repeats to pail the senses. In
stead, each portion of the decorative
scheme must have a distinctive charm
OF It's own.
Surface space must be well bal
anced. There must be no overcrowd-
ing at one point and bare stretches at
another.
Flowers employed for decorating
should be seasonahle. The flower that
lii midsummer would compel admira-
ton for its appropriateness as well as
beauty would be wholly out of place
In a midwinter decor We scheme. Nor
must blooming plants or cut flowers
and evergreens be combined In a dec
