REFECTORY LINENS

What linens to use on the re-
fectory table is sometimes prob
lem to the housewife. A set of
runners to use crosswise is the
solution recommended by the Wo-
mans Home Companion, using
whatever number may be required
for any given occasion.
Two, three or four runners may
be needed, seating four, six or
eight persons respectively. Of
course no one sits at the ends of
the table when the runners are
used in this way. If the ends are
to be occupied, place mats of the
same width as the runners and
with the same embroidered motif
are used at the end places.

he continues. 1T is one of the most
the life of this country. The people
who drink cocktails are in the ma

particularly had because the worst
time to take alcohol is when the
stomach is empty"
Professor Dixon in 1.-The British

consider, ) view Of the cocktail, but
nevertheless condemns it.
The action of the cocktail, he
points out. unlike that of ordinary
alcoholic beverages, is immediate,
but it's duration is transient, being
limited to fifteen to twenty minutes
at the most.
This form of drinking" Professor
Dixon states, is particularly PERM
cious for young people of either sex,
who form a large percentage OF
partly to lose their shyness and
partly in a spirit of bravado.
Not only does it impair Their
stomachs, but cocktail drinking helps
