PLAIN LINEN FOR THE TABLE
Beautiful in Many Respects, Although
Admittedly II Has Some Real
Disadvantages.

Plain heavy linen makes very attrac-
tive table cloths and napkins. 1t is
used in a restaurant where the fur
nishings are all interesting, and it is
used by some fastidlous housewives.
In the restaurant it is quite satisfac-
tory, for every diner. But in the or
binary household it has this one dis.
advantage. II does show wrinkles and
spots more quickly than a heavy fig.
ured damask does. So if there is not a
fresh cloth for every meal, damasb
may be better choice.
But the linen is beautiful, and In any
household it might be used for spe
cial dinner set The napkins anG
table cloth may be finished with a fine
embroidery stitch, or like the ordinar,

Sonnolent Eoyptians.

Egyptians can lie down and go to
sleep anywhere. They look around
until they find a particularly busy
place in the street where there is
patch of shade, wrap a dusty cloth
around their faces, curl up and peace
fully glide off into a dreamless sleep.
In walking along the street one has
to be careful Of every splotch of shad-
ow that he comes to for fear of step
ping on a natives face. Even when
you do step on this usually sensitive
part of the anatomy, they merely sit
up, yawn thankfully that you are a
medium-sized mai and lazily turn over
on the other side. But these are the
people that the papers are quoting as
being in bloody revolt. The Only dan
ger of revolt would be if some coun.
try should come along and pass law
prohibiting the use of all shady spots
from one till three. Then there would

AELEN'S HOLIDAY
By DOROTHY BLAckMoRE.

Never. in all her ten years behind
the ribbon counter, had Helen ho!s-
ton looked forward to her holidays
with greater anticipation. she was
tired and weary of measuring RID
hons and of going home to the tiny
ballroom at night, where no comfort
prevailed save that of having her Ut
tie sister waiting for her.
Helen had managed, by saving even
the pennies, to support herself ana
Dolly. slim child of thirteen. for
ten years.
81 can hardly wait until Saturday,
Dolly NINE" Helen said as she
slipped her arm about the slim little
sister whose cheeks were only
shade less pale than her own. I'VE
will have the time OF our lives this
year down at the seaside
But, alas! Helen was destined not
to get her holiday at the seaside. On
the Friday morning before they had
intended to leave she was seized with
pains that flung her onto her bed in
an agony of suffering.
Dolly, white and frightened, insisted
on running out to the old doctor who
/ had brought her safely through the
: measles and all her childish COM
! plants.
The old doctor had gone away, but
his substitute quickly followed the
frightened child to the boarding house.
1t means the young doctor said
gravely, that you will have to go to
the hospital tonight. An operation
at once is necessary

claimed quickly, and glanced at Dolly

Novel Means of Communication.
Wounded British soldiers in the
hands of the Germans have hit upon a
novel way of communicating with their
families and friends at home. They
subscribe small sums of money to the
German Red Cross society, but as few
of them have any cash they fill up a
draft or sign a check to be sent to
London and honored. On the back of
the draft the banker is requested to
communicate the news of the drawers

Polly was cheerfully willing and con-

The one thing about her that was
not in perfect harmony was her name.

reason why, in the Office, where no ia
