W.Y OF IRONING TABLECLOTH
Writer Of Experience Describes
Method Which She Believes to
Be the Best to Follow.

A ~tablecloth should be pulled into
shape before being ironed. After it
is pulled into shape, fold it together
lengthwise through the middle. SO
that the wrong side will be outside.
Then turn back the edges OF each
side SO that the cloth is in four long
folds, each fold of the same width.
The outer fold will now be right side
out. Iron these two outer folds. then
turn them inside and iron the two in
ner folds that are now outside and
are the right side Of the tablecloth.
When the four folds are thus finished
the long length can be doubled back
and forward the desired width, but
the crosswise folds should not be
ironed in. Papers can be placed
where the tablecloth hangs over on
the foor from the ironing board. A
little practice will soon make you per-
feet. The old-fashicned way was to
hrst iron a tablec1oth on the wrong
side, but the taklecloths coming I'M
der my observation that look best are
ironed in the manner above described.

the greater because it came without

General Grants Marrow Escape.
General Grant was to have been
one Of the theater party, and the fact
that he was Unexpectedly called away
probably saved his life, as there is
no doubt that his murder was also
contemplated.
The presidents box had been draped
with two flags, a silk one borrowed
from the treasury department being
placed in the center. 1t was in this
that Booths spur caught when he
leaped from the box after shooting
Lincoln. Within the box was placed
a rocking chair for the use Of the
president. At S:3c Mr.. Lincoln, Major
Rathbone and Miss Harris entered the
box to witness a play of which they
were destined never to see the end.
AS tho president sat quietly in his
box for an hour and a half, John
Wilkes Booth, the assassin, was how
