Hens in Damask.

Every woman who has ever at
tempted to lay hens on napkins or
table Cloths or to hem them after
they are laid knows The imposslbillty
of doing them quickly or well II the
stitfenng is not first removed. one
way TO get them in proper condition
is to rub the liner between the nm.
pers and thumbs along the entire
length of the hem This gets out the
Stiffness and prevents needles from
breaking. Another and better method
is before the linen, napkins partlcu'
larry, is cut apart, wet 1t along the
i,e of division and for about an inch
ON each side with a small toothbrush
dipped in soapsuds. Not only viii
the thread draw with few, If any,
breaks. but the hem can be laid with
much greater ease. Never attempt
to cut linen by the eye. 1t takes little
more time to draw thread, and that
is easily made up by the quickness
and accuracy with which The hem
is laid.
