How TO Select Household Linen.

TOW 10 Otks[t f1ouSenOfo Linens
1t is a coed time during the white
Sales" of February to buy matena
for sheets, pillow cases, towelings ant
things Of that sort, winch are con.
stantly wearing oat and have to be re.
plenished.
The general tendency nowadays
in the up-to-date homes is te elimin-
ate excessive fancy work On house
hold linens. The general aim is to
select these linens for utility and
good wearing qualities.
Select cotton muslin with little or
no starch for use in making sheets
and piliox cases. Those in daily use
should be of unbleached muslin which
will bleach IN the course Of few
launderings and which wears much
better because 1t has not been whit
ened by commercial means. Bleach
ed cotton muslin which contains a
large amount of starch is very fiimsy
when laundered and should never be
purchased. Linen sheeting is an ex-
travagance and even at high prices it
is hard to find on the market.
Nine and ten quarter sheeting may
Putnam patriot., 1920-02-27
PATTY PUTNAM'S PAGE

be purchased for double beds; seven
and eight quarter sheeting for single
beds. Money may be saved by buying
the ten quarter sheeting for single
beds and making the sheets crosswise
of the material with hens on the
sides. Pillow tubing comes in SO, 40
and AZ inch widths The width
should be selected according to the
size of the pillow. The finished sheet
should be one-third of yard longer
than the bed; the pillow cases six
inches longer than the pillow
Money may be saved by purchasing
the material for both bath and hand
towels by the yard and finishing the
ends with neat hens. A good quality
of Turkish toweling should be select
ed for the bath towels. Linen is the
ideal material for hand towels be-
cause it absorbs moisture readily
However, because of the high price of
linen, and it's scarcity. cotton buck
must be substituted for linen towel
ing in many cases.
! The regulation lengths of towels
are: Large towels finished, one yard
| long; guest towels, three-fourths yard
long. Hens should be one-half inch
to one and one-half inches.
