EASY TO DECORATE TABLE
Keep In Mind Only That A~dornments
Must Not Be Overdone,
and Appropriate.

It Is not necessary to have ones
table decorated by a professional II
the amateur will remember a few sal
lent rules of table decoration.
DO not have clashing colors. They
jar on the eye like a "calithumpian"
serenade on the ear. To promote this
harmony take into consideration the
color OF the room and of ones prtn-
oipal china: likewise, unless your
complexion Is OF the best. OF your own
looks.
A o%ne-color scheme Is always safe,
but should have a background OF
green in foliage or trailing vine. In
combination do not try to be bizarre,
and remember that all shades OF the
same color win not harmonize.
Pink and lavender are charming to-
gether, and far less commonplace
than blue or pink. Dark blue and pur-
pie and pale yellow are effective: SO,
oddly enough, are orange and scarlet.

SOME TIPS FOR THE HOSTESS
Suggestions That May Prove Helpful
In Entertaining Guests at a
Party.

A Pilgrim rug party Is the very
latest fad-shades of our ~grandmoth-
ersl Do you suppose under the dis
guise they would recognize the old
rag carpets, which adorned every
room? Time has certainly turned
backward in its flight, and the older
the fashion the newer. more up-to-
date 1t seems to be.
The "hit-and-miss" style of rug ~'ay
somewhat resemble the old rag car
pet, but the exquisitely woven ones
of blue and white, green and white
and green and pink are such artistic
things that their relationship to the
plebeian rag carpet is remote; saw in
the method Of preparing the ma
terials.
Only cotton fabrics are used, and as
in the olden day, a pound and a half
ball Nweaves into a rug Of a square
yard in size.
Well, now for the party. Such an
affair was given recently for a bride
elect, and the cards said "~thimbles,"
so the girls were prepared to sew.
They found piles of dark denim strips
cut about an inch wide. These were
sewed together and wound into a hard
ball.
Then there was a pills of white
strips. When these were finished there
Was material enough for a complete
rug. By the time refreshments were
served the strips were sewed. The

CARE IN WASHING STOCKINGS
Simple Precautions That Add to LIE
of Goods and tho Comfort OF
Those Who Wear Them. o

In washing stockings the first es-
sentiai is to have absolutely clean
soap solution In tepid water. 1t Ia
poor policy to take in the rinsing wa
ter left after the white clothes are
out, for that leaves the stockings
covered with specks OF white lint
Put the stockings in right side out,
rub well. and repeat the rubbing on
the wrong side. If the color is at all
delicate, rub the feet first and then
the legs in order not to have the lat
ter long In the water.
Rinse well in water OF the same
temperature, wiring dry. and hang
from the tops of the stockings so
that if water settles, leaving a lit
tie discoloration. 1t will be In the toes
instead of in the leg. The most OF
the black stockings now are fast col
ors and give no trouble.
II coiored stockings show signs OF
running or fading, the color may be
set with alum or salt water, only n
should bear in mind that alum will
set the dirt as well az the color.
Silk stockings need to be washed
well. then rinsed In lukewarm water,
then pressed between towels.
