Attractive and inexpensive
TableCoverings for Summer
Although Expensive and Difficult Obtain Many
Interesting Coverings for the Summertime Table May
be Made From More Easily Procured Materials That
Will Answer the Purpose Very Well.

Since the war began In 1914, linen
has become more and more expensive
and difficult 10 obtain. The regular
sources of our supply of flax and Of the
manufactured linen cloth have been
largely cut off and the demands for linen
for war purposes have still further reduced
the amount available for domestic con-
sumption. The housekecper who had on
hand good supply Of linen table-cloths
and napkins and towels when the war
began was indeed fortunate, but even
she is probably getting perilously near
the end of her stock OF these household
goods.
Of course it is still possible to purchase
linen, but the quality is often rather poor,
and the prices are very high, indeed many
people find them almost prohlbitye,
and have found ii necessary 10 rely on
the cheaper but less satisfactory cotton
fabrics for replenishlng their stocks OF
napery.
Cotton towels are not so bad par
tira,larly those that are of weave that
assures good absorption, but cotton can
never succeed In taking the place OF
good damask as a covering for the dinner
table. At the less formal meals certain
kinds of cotton cloth, If properly treated,
will make rather attractive table covers.

WHAT NAME, Please

The preparation Of the book for the

every day. Before anyone can sleep here,
or in any hotel, 1t Is necessary for her TO
fill out a Bulletin for the police, telling
her age, and where she was born, her
nationality, and most of her life-history :"
Said Miss Cavers in another letter:
This is very tlresome job, especially
when from twenty TO thirty people arrive
in the office at one time, all coming from
a late evening tram and all wanting
nothing so much as to get to bed But
it must be done, for the policeman
comes to the Office every morning before
nine o'clo elk to see that all arrivals have
been properly entered in the Police Book,
to collect their Bulletins, and to note
all departures which must also be entered
in the book In this way, each person
entering or leaving the city is kept track
of, and woe betide any one who tries
to evade the police'
