oVS wear we'll and launder beauti-

also wonderfully increases the strength

coarse and thin. Mercerized napkins

When you buy piece Of new linen
for napkins, before cutting them apart
overcast the two ends and put the
pieces through the wash once. Then
cut them apart and hem, and you will
find the labor of hemming simplified
tenfold. 1t is also a labor saver to
first remove the thread from your sew
ing machine and run the napkin
through hemmer of the required size,
producing an even crease ready for
the handwork. .".
To mark linen easily, dip the article
to be marked in cold starch and let it
dry. The pen then will write without
scratching. When embroiderinE ini-
tials on napkins, sew the corners of
four together. This saves time. as the
hoops fit better. A monogram should be

laundered SO that it is in three folds.

Cut them apart and 1t makes a paper

napkin rings may be made by winding
rings and tying the ends in small bows.
There are many kinds of padding to
use under the tablecloth to save the
table and deaden the sound of moving

Mercerized cotton table linen takes
on a grayish tinge in time. To renew
the color. wash the tablecloths and
napkins by themselves. Soak them
over night in a tub of warm water
containing a quarter cup of javeIle
water or half a box of borax. This
will bleach the pieces. Wash in sew
eral waters and use bluing literally in
the second suds. but none in the rinse
water. Hang in the yard to dry, and
have all the pieces well dampened
when ready to iron. Add little
starch when the tablecloths are very
old.
Homemade pillow cases should have
the selvage torn from the material,
then overcast. This makes them much
and they will not wrinkle
along the seams. When scalloping
sheets, fold the goods back and make
the scallops over the doubled portion.
They will then be much frmer and will
last longer than II made In the ordi-

to put initials, etc, on bed linen. do
your work first with an ordinary lead
pencil and then use the marking ink
over this work. The pencil mark will
prevent the ink from spreading and
giving the linen a blotted appearance,
or you can stitch over the pencil lines
with your sewing machine. using
coarse thread and close stitch. or
chain stitch in white or colored cotton

warm weather approaches, the ques-
tion of separate blouses becomes acute.
There ts growing feeling away from
the frequent use of an elaborate color
ed blouse to match a suit. Even in the
cold weather of the winter one was
surprised to see how many smart wom-
en- departed from this tradition of a
one-color scheme, extending from neck
to knees.
They chose white blouses, especially
lace ones. and others of bright colors
in handkerchief linen, in muslin and
in China silk, to add to a coat and
skirt. The fashion of not removing
the coat had something to do with this
lavish disregard of the one-color
scheme, and the conviction on the part
of many women that a light waist
was more becoming than a dark one.
1t was strange that the fashion OF
med blouses of beige-colored chiffon OF
marquisette was not more fully taken
up over here, but it never met with
general approval. The woman who
wants something simple that is not
sent to the tub every few days will
find this blouse a serviceable posses
sion. and if 1t is not becoming to hel
skin she can add one of the handker-
chief collars in colored chiffon cloth
to the open neck. These collars are
double, hemstitched at the edge and
softly folded about the edge of the
neck as though one had really used a
handkerchief on an open shirt waist.

persons could gather on hot summer

no places to play except in the street,
but if Fairgrounds could be opened
they would all be at one place and

when questions of importance to

Philadelphia Dec. GA nose, which
in lines and symmetry. compares fav-
orably with the natural variety, has
been manufactured from a soup bone
by surgeons at the Samaritan hospital
for 12-year-old girl.
The girl was born without a nose.
Her parents refrained from taking her
out in public because of the attention
her deformity attracted. Surgeons at
the Samaritan hospital decided that
the girl could have nose like any
other person. DIR. w. w. Babcock
carved a nose along Greek lines from
soup bone.
An invision was made in the frontal
bone of the skull, and the soup-bone
nose securely fixed in position. Then
the flesh of the face was stretched
SO that it covered the soup bone. Nos
trils were pierced in the flesh, and the
child was able to breathe freely
through the new nose. In a few days
she will be able to leave the hospital
