TABLE LINEN COMES FIRST


Table linen is usually done first and by it
self. It is less soiled and IS more easily
washed; for that reason it can be taken to the
line quickly and, as it dries readily, is often
irOued on washday afternoon.
Table linen should be soaked in cold water;
in fact, it is often soaked overnight, as the
cold water does much to remove the stains
Characteristic Of table linen. If there are many
grease stains in the linen, take half cup Of
dissolved washing soda, add this TO the half
tbs Of cold water in which the linen is to soak
This small amount Of washing soda will do no
harm 70 the linen, and will do a great deal
toward removing the grease spots. Should one
fear TO use the washing soda, rub the grease
spots over with cold water and soap; if not
removed now. they viii, when ironed, appear
dark brown and then will be twice as hard to
get out.
Table linen, like all garments, should be
washed on both sides, and rinsed until the
rinse water is clear. Two hot rinses and one
cold will do this most effectively.
Blue table linen in paler bluing than the
rest Of the white goods, because its loose mesh
makes it take up more blue than the other
clothes.
The wringer for table linen should not be
screwed very tight, as heavy creases will be
formed, which will make the ironing harder,
Good table linen is not starched so, after blu
ing, il is hung on the line by hanging straight

not they should adopt the stage as a profession?" I asked.
 Many people who are clever on the platform think that they have the dl- vine fire dwelling in them-the divine fire which makes geniuses on the stage :" said MT. Maude, but let me say right here that being a brilliant actor and an efficient platform speaker are not neces- sarily the same thing. The stage is a most wonderfully fascinating and allur- ing profession profession that holds out the most marvellous possibilities; a pro- fession open to all men and women, but it is full of heart burnings and despair. Once upon a time I asked my young. son what he meant to be when he grew up he was F years old at the time, and he replied: I don't want to be anything public I want to be quietly successful This I tell you merely to show that an actor is always in the limelight, and must keep a very level head, brave heart, immune to flattery and always in a good temper.'
 "It is very easy to be selfish on the stage" MT Maude continued, and I would say that one of the things that every young actor and actress should remember is to be deferential and re- speetful to their elders on the stage. They may not be as successful as you expect to be. but they started with just the same hopes and aspirations. Tn fol- lowing the stage as a profession it is well to remember that the fiercest lime light shines upon it of any profession in the whole world, Mr. Maude said, "a light which is liable to make the most innocent actions appear the most base;

 "As a matter of fact" MT. Maude went on, "the stage is the most interesting profession in the world. and if a man is successful he will find every kind of so- ciety open to him, and the honor of meet ing all kinds of wonderfully interesting and famous people; great authors, paint CTS, poets, soldiers, sailors, princes of commerce clergymen, lawyers, singers, Presidents, Kings and Queens"

Being a Brilliant Actor and An Efficient
 Platform Speaker Are Not Necessarily
 the Same Thing" Declares Mr. Cyril Maude
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

 NM ars a.ia a0,' v, was and md Tans aps. ap% of yesterday but Mr Cyril Maude, the stage gentleman, beloved of England and America, keeps his public forever
 Just word about little chat I had with MT. Maude Monday morning before his very busy day; before his wonderful talk at the Drama league luncheon. when he so graphically brought before his hearers the suffering of his beloved coEn- trymen in the awful war now was.ng; just after he had breakfasted and was fresh and happy and willing to talk; yes. to talk about the stage, the subject near and dear to his heart, this human dy- namo, this magnetic man, charged with electricity, clever, humorous, attractive, human.
 With the vivid mental picture of an irascible old gentleman, one "Grump' by name, that was fixed in my mind from the pictures I had seen of MT. Maude in the newspapers and magazines, I saun- tered forth fortified against anything; but one glance and my mental picture was shattered.
 Before me stood a suave, mild-man- nered, deliciously young man with splen- didly molded head, covered with a luxu- riant growth of hair, in which the silver threads are just beginning to predomi- nate; instantly when I met him I noted the strong chin, and the compressed lips, thin as paper, indicative of uncompro- missing purpose, and I thought:
 Here is the face of a leader, a man who might take off his coat at short notice and start something if the occa- sion demanded, and yet in direct anti thesis to this general character shone you ever saw, and the most winning smile imaginable. His speech is dis tinctly English, full of the pet phrases and words dear to the English heart.
 And what are you going to talk to me about?" I asked as he bade me be seated and I reminded him that he was now talking for publication.
 Anything you say" he replied gra- ciously. "The war, what women are do- ing, the drama that Is now taking place in the trenches, ambitious men and women who want to go on the stage-as you like'
 You see, Tn my youth, ne went on briskly, T cherished two ambitions; one was to play in the old Haymarket thea tre, London, and the other was to be- come the Archbishop of Canterbury
 Finishing at Charter House, from whence came Addison Thackeary, Steele, Baden-Powell and the rest, MT. Maude found that the burning desire to become the archbishop had fled and only the Haymarket remained, and his army cap tain father saying to the young lad all the while:
 Behave yourself,'' for be it known that this eminent actor is scion of the fighting Maudes of the British army. and none could doubt this who knows Mir Cyril Maude.

 MT. Maude interspersed his conversa- ton here with two anecdotes of once famous actor, John Coleman, who toured the English provinces more than quar- ter of a century ago.
 John Coleman said Mir. Maude, was famous for having printed on a poster in Birmingham, Eng, where there was big benefit performance of Hamlet, this line: On this occasion MT. Coleman will descend from his pedestal and en- act the part of Polinous.' Another time this very pompous old actor said to a
