GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
ByLaura A. kirkman.
THE BRIDES LINEN SUPPLY.

Two girl readers who sign themselves
1.-TWO Prospective Brides, have written
me jointly TO ask me To publish n list of
the essential articles of household linen
that are needed for a new home.
There is the widest possible range of
prices and quality In the choice of linens,
and the prospective bride will be wise TO
purchase the best grade that her purse
will allow.
In buying bed linen choose the sheets
10 fit the size bed they are TO be used on
single, three-quarters. or double. All
sheets should be large enough TO allow one
to tuck q portion measuring Ia to Is
inches under the mattress on all sides.
There are standard sizes for both beds
and bedding. so when the linen is bought
before the beds. IL can he got for certain
size bedstead IL the Prospective Brides y
who wrote me care for a list of standard
sizes / shall be very glad TO send it if a
stamped, self-addressed envelope IS sent
with the request
-Four sheets and four pillow cases should
nc allowed for each bed unless all the
beds in the house are Of the same size,
when three sheets to bed can be made
TO do. Two pairs of blankets and two
spreads will be needed for each bed. II is
a good plan to buy as good grade of
economize on spreads. Simple dimity
spreads that are kept scrupulously clean
are just as dainty and are easier TO launder
than the heavy and more expensive Mar
seilles spreads.
Blankets should be soft and warm
rather than heavy. Go TO an experienced
salesman in reliable house and get the
best blankets you can afford. If double
blankets are cut apart and the raw edges
bound, they will wear better and be more
easily handled and laundered
Twelve face-towels, to I2 bath
towels, six guest towels, eight faoe-cloths.
and two bath mats will equip the bath
room. All-linen towels are soft and alb

too expensive, good linen-and-cotton

readily; here again one must rely upon
the knowledge of the salesman as to the
quantity of linen in the mixture. Damask
towels are beautiful, but they are too light
TO absorb as readily as the more loosely
woven fabrics.
Six hand towels will be needed In the
kitchen, six glass towels, and SIX crash
dish towels Linen toweling is best for
kitchen use, and next TO that a good grade

chosen for the hand toweling; plain crash

have a small supply of linen towels for the
kitchen than a more plentiful supply Of
cotton towels.

TIME TO SWAT
MR.. CHINCH BUG
Destroy Refugees, Advice of
Conservation Man.

With the season at hand when chiach
bugs are preparing to hibernate for the
winter, farmers Of Indiana should take
every precaution to see their IandNis net
supporting members of this pest and Ia
order to safeguard their wheat and corn
next year, is warning sounded 6y
Frank Y. Wallace, entomologlst under
the State Department Of Conservation.
Mr.. Wallace points out that grass along
fences and paralleling bitches is a favor
lite refuge for chinch bugs. Sometimes
they bunk up' in fodder shocks. How
ever. they are partial 10 bunch grass nnd
II they infest a farm are more likely Ia
be found where heavy stands of gr9Ss
are permitted to grow along fences Sad
open bitches.
Where the bugs are fund in bunch
grass. Mr. Wallace recommends this
grass he burned. II the grass Is too
green to burn freely, spread little dr'A
straw or coat with light application q
crude oil. Where the bugs are hibernatX
ing in fodder shocks. it Is advisable q
shuck the corn as quickly as possiblA
and feed the fodder to stock. When
their refugees are destroyed aud they are
from exposure to the clements.
The chinch bug is one Of the most
destructive Of al insect pests. 1t has
greatly increased In numbers In the ,asf
two years. and during 1920 caused severe
damage. Weather conditions so far hsve
been extremely favorable to the pest.
Unless Indiana experiences severe winter
weather. aud farmers use precaution in
eradicating them. this State may expect
serious trouble from chinch bugs next
season. the Department of Conservation
represents.
Up until the last two years Indians
was comparatively free of the ehinch
bug. largely due to continuous war
waged against it. In Illinois, the insects
destroy millions OF dollars worth Of crops
annually.
The insects are shout one fifth Of an

on the wings. They leave their winter
quarters early in the spring. FIRST enter
