ON WASHING
LINEN

Many linen damask table cloths
and napkins meet their wholly
unworthy Nemesis in the pulling,
boiling, bleaching process of
not too conscientious laundry.
There is no particular problem
or mysterious process in the
proper laundering of linen, as
dirt does not cling as tenaciously
to it as it does to other textiles.
Because of the long nature of
the linen fibre, care should be
taken to avoid an excessive
amount of starch. There is the
danger that these fibres might
break under too heavy an iron.
Cloths should be quite moist
when ironed
Never use an iron which is too
hot.
Iron from selvage to selvage,
first on the right side of the
cloth and then on the wrong.
Avoid many creases or folds.

Mrs. Beeckman Abuses:

to put a lady's maiden initial on
household linens and embroidery.
My husband disagrees and I wish
to know definitely. II the maiden
initial is not proper, how do
people initial gifts to be made for
a hope chest?
2. Also what rule do you follow
for monogramming silverware?
8. Is it proper for me to con-
tinue using my maiden initial or
would it be better taste to use
my husbands initial now?
MRS. s.
1t formerly was always con-
sidered correct-indeed, 1t was
taken for granted-that the bride.
to-be always used the Initials or
her maiden name when she em.
broidered the linens for her linen
trousseau. Indeed, in olden times,
when this custom arose, it was
due to the fact that the little
maiden, at very early age, began
to collect her linens and to take
the delicate stitches Of the mono
gram, long before she knew who
her Prince Charming was to be.
But many radical brides.to.be
nowadays, rebel against this GUS
tom OF using the initials of their
maiden names, and having waited
to buy their linens after they be-
come engaged. they use the in
itials of their maiden names. So
the bridesto.be must decide for
themselves.
2. The same rule holds good for
the engraving of silverware for
the bride. And for the silver
again, some brides want to have
it engraved with the initials. of
their maiden names, and some
wish to use the initials of their
name-to-be. Many people, now,
since these uncertain days have
arrived about this question of EN-.
broidering and monogramming,
send the silver piece or pieces,
and and either ask the bride to
have it engraved as she would like
to have it, or tell her that they will
have it done, if she will state
her preferences.
3. After the marriage. all linens
should be embroidered with the
initials of the married name. and
all silver should be monogrammed
with the initials of the married
name.

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice >Fairfax-
Can a Girl Love Two Men?
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
am writing you for advice. I
am all confused. Several months
ago met girl and after a while
found myself violently in love
with her. Now, before / met
her, she was already in love with
someone else. She tells me that
she loves me and also her other
lover. Is 1t possible for a girl to
love two men at the same time?
Another thing, presented her
with a nice present last Christ
mas, but she never gave me any
gift in the form of a present.
She did, however, once give me a
novel. Should ! give her PIP?
CONFUSED.
The idea that a girl can be in
love with two men at the same
time is both confusing and con-
fused. To be in love with any
person is to prize that person
above all others. There can only
be one first.
Your friend may be very fond
of you and also of the other
young man. but she is not in love
with both of you. Why do you
not remain her loyal friend,
hoping she will in time care for
you most of all?
Do not worry about the gift.
Did you give it to her expecting
one in return? If so. the gift was
unworthy the Christmas spirit.
Give without thought of return. to
make her happy, then you will
be more likely to deserve and win
her friendship and love.
