SlX-POINTED LUNCH CLOTH
New Idea Bids Fair to Be Popular
With the Woman Who Does
Much Entertaining.

Our eyes have long been accus-
toned to seeing the two-pointed and
the four-pointed luncheon CLOTH but
the cloth having six points is some
thing new. Don't let the word point
mislead you. The six extensions do
not run off to points. Instead they
are rectangular in shape. The Gen.
ter cloth on display was ornamented
with three punches Of daisies, the
group being connected with a line Of
tiny dots which called for French
knots. On each rectangular shape
spray of few knots were embroid-
ered The centers Of the flowers were
also filled in with French knots. The
tiny petals were padded and worked
in the satin stitch. The stems Of the
flowers were outlined while the seal
lops around the points were worked
solid In the buttonhole stitch. Be-
tween the six points were placed six
tumbler doilies, each ornamented
with a spray of flowers and a crescent
Of French knots.

To make the slip requires two rounds
Of silk, each measuring eight inches.
These form the centers back and front
and are connected by three strips Of
silk, not necessarily of the same color.
Two strips must be Of the same width
and length and must be cut a few
inches longer than the circumference
of the rounds. One edge is gathered to-
fit the rounds and is sewed down, one
to the back and the other to the front
round. The next strip must be longer
than the first two and the same width
or not. Both edges are shirred and
are sewed down to the free edges Of
the strips already secured to the
rounds. This creates kind of round
ed, slightly puffy looking cover. OF
course, If one has sufficient silk of one
color three strips Of a uniform width
of four inches would cut all the
strips. If scraps on hand must be
used up it might happen that the cen
ter strip must be wider or narrower
than the two they connect. This is
immaterial. All that is necessary is to
get a strip II inches wide after the
three are Joined. In putting strips Of
silk of different color together they
should contrast or harmonic.
Next comes the decoration. This
may be anything the maker pleases. A
square of gold lace trimmed around
with narrow frill of the same lace is
very effective over bright cover. A
dolly. in cluny lace, >ernamented with
chiffon rosebuds, is another textbook
ing combination.
Those making up pillows may like to
know that the round, the egg-shaped
and the oblong are the favored mod
els. The square pillow is considered
out Of date. One of the most popular
shapes is fashioned exactly like min
iature bolster. 1t is very comfort
able pillow, too. The pillows for the
baby carriage are slightly oblong, just
a little longer than the width, but
those for general use are distinctly
long.-Lillian Young, in the Washing
ton Star.

Those who have Indian Runner
ducks would do we'll to keep them
over winter and see what they will do
toward keeping the egg basket filed
when biddy is on strike.
Begin by culling out all surplus
brakes and understood specimens. II
the ducks are expected to furnish
eggs next spring for Matching pur-
poses, now is the time to procure
brakes from some other flock.
1t is not good plan to keep close
ly related birds. One drake for every
seven or eight ducks is about right.
brakes may be kept for seven
years, but ducks will not lay so well
when of that age. Few duck raisers
care to keep old brakes unless they
happen to be high-priced birds.
In many sections, Indian Runner
ducks are so scarce that food speci-
mems bring almost any price asked.
A house Is by 20 feet, with a yard
attached will be large enough for
! 35 to 40 ducks to stay in at night,
and during the cold days in winter.
If there is no suitable house on
| the place, a duck house can be built
at small cost. Rough lumber may be
used for the floor and siding. The
rafters, plates and posts may be made
of poles cut in the woods. Any kind
Of roof that will turn water will an
| swer.
If the house is to be used for
young ducks during the spring and
| summer months, there should be two
| large doors, one at each end, and a
| window at the other. Some duck
houses are built with the entire south
side open.
Small-mesh poultry netting Is nailed
to the posts, and a heavy curtain is
attached inside. The curtain is to be
used in cold weather. AS the snow is
liable to drift in, it will sometimes be
necessary to nail or tack the curtain
to the floor and also to the sides.
Keep plenty of straw on the floor.

1t Is only a few years since the
Indian Runner first made it's appear
ance In America. They came origin
ally from the West Indies, where they
have been raised for years, chiefly
as egg producers. They derive their
name from their native land and racy
upright carriage.
In color they are fawn and white,
with yellow shanks and light green
bill; the latter being sometimes
splashed with black
The body is long and narrow and
is carried in an almost upright posi-
ton. Neck is long and thin with fine
ly formed head.
The Indian Runner is, we think,
not only the most beautiful but also
the most profitable of all the duck
family. They have the Pekin beaten
a mile, and are steadily gaining in
favor.
The Indian Runner is rather small,
fully matured ducks weighing from
four to five pounds. brakes from
five to six pounds live weight.
But they grow very rapidly while
young and are easy to raise. What
they lack in weight is more than made
up for in their other good qualities.
To begin with, they are very prolific
layers, beginning when they are
about six months old. Their eggs are
pure white and a little larger than
Plymouth Rock hen
They are superior in quality to any
ducks eggs that we have ever eaten
and as a rule they bring a better
price in the markets.
The ducklings reach a marketable
size when about twelve weeks old;
when forced they will weigh four to
five pounds at two months.
The meat of a Runner is of supe
rior quality; fine in grain, juicy and ex
cellent in flavor. Hotels and res.
taurants pay fancy prices for duck
lings.
The eggs are in good demand also
In winter when eggs are high the
Indian Runner is ION the job" Any
enterprising person can work up a
trade among hotels and restaurants
that should prove highly profitable.
There is no danger of strong compe.
tition, as comparatively few poultry
raisers have taken up this branch OF
the industry, Notwithstanding the
fact that nearly all kinds of poultry
products are bringing unheard OF
prices in the open market
Duck culture, in the past, has been
more or less neglected, owing to the
general belief that ducks cannot be
