Pride in Owning
Nice Table Linen
Monogramed Correctly and FOLDED
Just Right Such a Thrill They
Give One

There is hardly anything that gives
thrill than her collection of table
linen. Piles of polished dinner nap
kins with the monogram in exactly
the right spot all folded to hair
breadth correctness; rolls of lunch
cloths and centerpieces; linen cases
full of doilies and tea napkins-''they
give one such a sort of respect
able feelingl" according to bride
who hung proudly over the treasures
in a deep sideboard drawer.
The breakfast and luncheon sets OF
rough linen, with bit of hand en-
broidery in color, small design i'll
cut work on monogram in self color
are enough to fill any woman with
satisfaction. One woman, who has
table and chairs painted in soft
French gray, has a centerpiece, doilies
and small napkin of gray crash, with
a crocheted edge of pale lavender.
The napkins have a demure conven-
tional design in cut work, buttonholed
with the lavender. In the center OF
the table there is a low plaque OF
frosty lavender glass, in which she
generally put two or three sprays
of poets narcissus or fresias. An
other set that she had made for her
self is in pale yellow and gray, with
which she uses a dull blue bowl filled
with yellow pansies and forget-me-not
sprays if she can get them.
For everyday use she has a set OF
square doilies in plain cream un'
belached muslin, with picot edge in
rose color. The napkins have bits OF
rose and green flower designs in the
corners.

Harry Carey Chosen
to Typify the West

Charles Russell, the western artist
whose paintings have recently been
attracting considerable attention and
several of whose works were recently
acquired by wealthy Fasteners at an
exhibition in Pasadena during the
winter season, has asked Harry Carey,
the Universal film star, to pose for
him for life-size figure typifying the
passing spirit of the old West. The
artist claims that Careys bearing and
features lend themselves to to this
purpose more readily than those of
any other actor on the stage or be-
fore the camera.
Russell recently visited the actor on
his ranch, about thirty miles from
Universal City, and made a number
of preliminary sketches of the star, as
he is. best known to thousands of
theatregoers. He hopes to begin real
work on the painting as soon as
Carey finishes his current production,
Fighting job"
1t is strange that Harry Carey should
be such a perfect Western type when
he was born in New York City, of a
family that had lived in the East for
many generations. Carey never saw
the West until after he went on the
stage, after graduating from Columbia
University. However, he spent seve-
raj years on a Montana ranch, while
conyalescing from a serious illness.
1t was there that he became imbued
with the spirit Of the West.

Dive intermediate
Goes Abroad

Discoveries made by the color lab
oratory of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture have enabled
American manufacturers to produce
phthalic anhydride, which is an i'm
portant dye intermediate at so low a
cost that it is now being made in this
country at a price that has made it
possible to sell it in Switzerland in
direct competition with Germany.
Before the war this product was made
only in Germany and Austria. Phtha-
lie anhydride is used in the manufac-
ture of more than 300 chemicals. 1t is
an important intermediate in the
manufacture of several brilliant dyes,
one of which is indigo. The process
discovered by the specialists of the de-
partment makes it possible to use at
mospheric air in making phthalic
anhydride from napthalene. This
process is much cheaper than the one
employed by the Germans, which re-
quires the use of sulphuric acid and
mercury instead of air. During the
war phathalic anhydride sold for as
high as 81 pound. The cost of manu-
facture has been reduced by the new
process to such an extent that it is
now being sold for As cents pound.
For this reason the Germans are not
able to compete successfully with the
American manufacturers who are
selling it in Switzerland. The price
may be reduced still further as the
demand for this dye intermediate in
creases.

Heating and Warming Unit Performs
Many Other Useful Tricks

A new piece of electrical apparatus
is called heating and warming unit
and it is designed more particularly
for use around a small restaurant,
although it can be of great service
in the domestic establishment of ordi-
nary size.
1t has the lines of q jewel casket,
but its most spectacular stunt is to
brown both sides of piece of toast
at once. 1t will accommodate 20

trical energy by means of water con
tainer, the contents of which, once
heated, will hold the temperature for
long time.

Do Not Buy EXpen-
Sive Food Drier

The purchase of expensive factory.
made driers for fruits and vegetables
often calls for an expenditure of sew
eral times the amount necessary to
secure a good drier of either the home
made or factory made type, according
to the United States Department of
Agriculture, which has made study
of the best types of driers for home
use. The Department has had it's at
tention called to one drier now on the
market selling at price about five
times what it would cost to construct
satisfactory substitute at home.
While the interest which gardeners
are everywhere manifesting in in
creased food production should result
in increased use of driers the depart
ment believes that large money ex-
penditure for such equipment ordinar-
lily is not necessary.
For the benefit of those who pre-
fer to make their own driers the de-
partment has published for free
distribution pamphlets containing de-
tailed information on the subject. One
of the driers recommended is metal
covered and is designed to stand on
cookstove or small furnace. A less
expensive cookstove drier, also recon
mended, is made of lath, wire screen,
and canvas or heavy unbleached mus
lin. With either of these articles
much of the gardens surplus can be
conserved for winter use, thus ma
terialIy reducing the food bills of the
coming months.
