Is SUBSTITUTE FOR LINEN
Handpainted OilcIoth Utilized &c
Make Attractive Runners and
Luncheon Sets.

There is a saying that in these days
of war prices, only the milliOnaire'S
wife can afford to use real linen In her
dining room. A great many women
are substituting handpainted OilclOth
for the accustomed lace and linen
luncheon sets, says the Philadelphia
North American.
Stunning sets in black enameled oil
cloth for the Out-of-door English break
fast or porch luncheon are decorated
with punches Of brilliantly col
ored fruit. A large center dolly
is used, with four each of the
medium and small sizes. An or
binary enameled kitchen pie plate
painted black and decorated with the
same design makes a unique bread or
sandwich plate, and papler mache
bowl stained black and decorated with
the fruit motif on the outside, filled
with luscious grapes and oranges, Is
the most stunning kind of center
piece.
The square luncheon set Is rather
new, developed in tan oilclOth stenciled
with field flowers In brilliant blues and
reds and yellOws.
Delft blue with sprays Of small pink
flowers or pale green with black and
white will make very pleasing COM
binations.
