receiving sweetly and modestiy as
the largest giver, the honors &C
corded her.
There is her church, the Unitarian,
with which she has been identified
since childhood, to which she gave
several years ago, a generous sum,
to receive the annual income from.
In our Augusta General Hospital
in the newest addition, is one room
with "Paulina c. Lithgow" in brass
letters on the door, which represents
her gift Of one thousand dollars at
one time to the hospital.
To the Fire Department she sent, a
few years ago, check Of five hun
dred dollars. To girl teacher,
whose mother was stricken in some
way and needed long time care, Mrs.
Lithgow sent one thousand dollars
her years salary ahead, that the girl
might remain at home and care for
her mother.-These are few of the
instances that come to mind Of Mrs.
Lithgow's benevolences, but we know
that there are many among the liv-
ing, as well as the dead, who might
rise up and call her blessed for her
kind acts toward them, and we feel
safe in saying that all who ever
worked for her received, sooner or
later, much more than their wage.
She did not like to De importuned
for small sums for the various OBJ
jects whose name is Legion. and so
was sometimes thought Indifferent,
but in the meantime the large
amount was going somewhere, and
few the wiser.
We shall not miss Mrs. Lithgow on
our streets or in our homes, but we
shall miss the welcome and kindly
smile at her door. She was a pecu-
liar woman, but a rare and wonder
full one, and we think of her with
affection and so offer this simple
tribute to her memory. NJ. L. F.

Exquisite needleworlS and lace dec
crate many of the imported linen
sets, while others depend upon the
fineness of their linen for their dis
ttnctive charm, and there is a host
of doilies and odd pieces as elaborate
or as severely plain as you wish.
Some household linens are outlined
In colors in Oriental designs with
edges bound with matching color
in bias material. This material can
BIO bought In fast colors one inch wide,
with the edges already folded.
As an example, select rather heavy
linen in natural color, and bind it in
dark blue or any dark color that goes
well with your dining room. The out
line embroidery should be worked
with No. lG mercerized cotton.
Cherry blossoms and motifs too small
to be outlined should be done in satin
stitch. with stitches even and close.
To outline, take evenlength stitches
except round a curve. where the
stitches should be shorter than on a
straight line.
The binding is put on as follows:
Unfold the binding and lay 1t on the
right side of the material. placing the
edge of the binding even with the edge
of the linen. Then sew along the first
fold. At the corner allow about half
an inch for miteling Let the extra
material stand out TO be folded un-
der when the binding is turned back
ard sSrWed on the wrong side. Fee
fore YOU put the binding all round,
try one corner TO make sure you have
allowed enough. Turn the binding
over the edge and hem Il on the
wrong side so that the stitches will be
caught in the first sewing and the
binding will be the same width on
the front and back BE very careful
that stitches do not show on the right
side. If YOU make your own bind
ing, cut the material one inch wide on
true bias. sew the pieces together,
fold. then proceed as described.
1t is now the fashion to- have diff.
ferent linen sets for different meals,
A suggestion for breakfast set would
be the embroidering of quaint Dutch
figures in blue on q White-linen
ground Baskets filled with flowers
worked in pastel shades would look
lovely on pale lemoncolored linen.
For the tea table a square of white
linen will look charming il outlined
with a blue crochet edging and per-
haps a monogram embroidered in one
corner. For best wear nothing looks
nicer than linen, and really beautiful
results can be obtained by working n
border design all round the edge in a
contrasting color, either in a cross

stitch or darning stitch. Pale cream
linen worked. with blue thread is a
lovely combination, and so is pale
blue embroidered with white, or pale
green with brown. Besides the all
white sets, tea and luncheon sets IN
white with colored borders are used.
There are also colored sets In pink,
blue or yellow, with damask designs
In white.
Making Plain Linens.
Household ''linen" is scarcely an ac-
curate expression, for in most fanli-
lies cotton is used for sheets and pill
lowcases, and linen for table wear,
towels and other articles. Linen
sheeting crumples too easily, whereas
cotton retains it's smoothness, ana
therefore requires less frequent
laundering. Many housewives really
prefer fine grade of cotton sheeting,
and certainly most of them use II.
Ennen is the ideal toweling.
For table use, pure linen is unques'
tionably the best fabric, Plain satin
damask, as well as plain linen, may
be used for tea and lupcheon cloths,
and damask. either plain, plain with
a satin stripe, or fancy weave, for
tahIecloths. There are cotton substi-
tutes, but they are distinctly inferior
in wear and in appearance, and sell
dom give satisfaction. When select
ing linen, consider first the weight.
and then the fneness. The cheaper
grades contain a great deal OF sizing
that gives an attractive finish, and
adds to the apparent weight of the
linen, but when the sizing has been
washed out, only u flimsy fabric re-
mains,
The conventional stitches used for
plain household linens are few ir
number and not hard to make. Fof
sheets and pillowcases the stitches III
most common use are ordinary hand
hemming, hemstitching and the but
tonhole stitch for embroidering seal
lops. Frequently the upper end OF
the sheet is hemstitched and the low
err end simply hemmed. Hand towels
may be hemmed, hemstitched, seal
loped or finished with designs in
cross-stitch, satin stitch or Swedish
or Mexican dr'awnwork. Bath towels
may be hemmed or hemstitched.
For table linen, the most usual fin
ish is plain hemming. French over
hand hemming, hemstitching or seal
looping; for comforts and pads, hand
and machine quilting. For a bride
outfit a single style of letter or mono
gram should be selected and used in
varying sizes for the entire outfit

during eight hours as possible. To
zee these workers loaf on the job is
very irritating to builders and is now
the greatest factor in discouraging
new building. Such conditions, how.
ever, seem always to exist in period
like this.
Recently l was in Salem, Mass, at
its 300th anniversary. One after
noon all the old houses OF the city
were open for inspection. As noticed
the dates on these houses | found
that the most beautiful colonial
houses were built during the 10 years
Following the War of 1912 and the
largest of the English and French re-
productions were built following the
Civil War, between 1865 and 1873,
Surely there is something in these
figures for builders to carefully con.
slider.
The Political Situation.
| am finding much more interest in
politics than has been evident for
some time. During the past few years
the Republican party seemed TO have
a complete walkover and Democrats
have been hard to find. Today, how
ever, the Republicans have real oppo.
sition and must wake up If the party
Is to be successful in 1928. The gen
eral feeling throughout the country
seems to be that the candidates in
1928 will be Coolidge and Smith and
that the great battle-ground will be
New York State. People wonder if
this is one reason why President
Coolidge is spending the Summer III
New York State.
General business continues about

owing to the terrible tales which
have been told in Washington rela.
tive to the conditions of the farmers.
one Is prepared to expect most any.
thlnS when visiting the agricultural
sections. OF course there are some
sections which are suffering from poor
agricultural conditions. but | believe
the crops for 1926 will compare favor
ably with any year since the war. The
farmer who owns his farm and who
Is working and tending to business is
doing well. Tenant farmers and those
VINO expect to hire everything DONE
and those who are loaded up with
mortgages are, of course, in an I'M
fortunate condition. Statistics. how
ever, clearly indicate that consider.
lng. both production and price. a
vast amount of new wealth will come
from the ground during 1926
One of the most interesting things
in my travel is 10 note how the aver
age business man is influenced by the
New York stock market. Even the
hopes of farmers, who are supposed
10 be immune from stock market in
nuence, are very susceptible to the
rise and fall of the New York market,
The same men who were pessimistic
three months ago. when the stock
market WAS gong down, are now Opti-
mistlc with the stock market going
up. Personally, | feel that there Is
too great a tendency TO depend on
narometers of consumption and too
little interest in barometers of produc-
ton, such as crop statistics. 1t is
however, fair to say that there is
much more optimism in the agricul.
tural communities than for MANY
months and this is very good sign.
Money Rates Still Low.
The money situation is paradoxicaI.
The ultimate consumer seems to be
almost void of cash. He seems to
have used up all his ready money and
through installment purchases has
nearly used up his credit. Cash pur.
chases seem to be becoming a lost
art. Certainly the average man in the
street has very little money today,
notwithstanding that savings banks
are bulging with deposits and the
life insurance business Is very
fiourishing.
Funds for investment have not been
so plentiful for many years. Last
week a public utility bond was Of
fered on a AZ per cent basis, an
event which has not happened for 20
years. For the past two years now
