Another interesting finish Is to
hemstitch the edging, then cut it to
give a picot effect.
Other nice finishes are coarse lace
or tatting, binding the edge with
bias tape in self or contrasting
color, or even edging with decora-
tive braid or rick-rack.
Use Damask Cloth
For Formal Setting
An old damask that has lost its
original crisp, high luster look, still
may have considerable use. First,
dye 1t pastel pink, rich deep
green, creamy yellow or. golden
peach. Any Of these colors heightens
the original pattern of the damask
and gives the material new beauty.
After this has been carefully
hand-hemmed - and this is really
the only type of edging that really
looks proper on damask-you may
wish to monogram it. This adds
even more elegance to the material.
Monograms usually are white if
they are on white linens; in fact,
some authorities never make an ex-
ception. However, if you have dyed
the material as have suggested,
the monogram may be a slightly
deeper or lighter shade of the ma
terial. It may even be in contrast to
it.
Monograms are exquisite when
well made, and there are all sorts of
aids on the market to help you make
them properly. But don't ruin the
linen or damask unless you can do
fine needle work and have both pa
thence and time to carry it out.
If you do not have monogramS,
then rely on the beauty of simplicity
to carry out the effect. Use your
best china, have simple but ele-
giant centerpiece Of fruit and leaves
or formally arranged flowers.
Braided Mats Add
Interest to Meals
For informal entertaining, braid
ed mats make an unusually nice
table setting. Ransack the remnant
bag for scraps, or use feed or sugar
sacks dyed to desired colors. Mono
| tone colored mats are best with
multi-colored china, while if your
dishes are solid colors you may
want to work out two or thrro
colored effects.
Dye the scraps the proper shade
and cut into strips. Fold raw edges
to the center, then fold again and
yOu are ready to braid. The mats
are made slightly larger than the
standard II by II inches.
Table settings are informal with
braided mats, and centerpieces
should be very simple. You might
like two or three fruits attractively
arranged, or you might try gourds.
Mats May Contrast
With Chinaware
If you have some lovely dusty pink
and white china, see how much
more attractive your table will be
with mats of deep rich green. Or,
what about picking up the lime
green shade in set of dishes and
pairing these mats with cocoa
brown napkins. ''.' e
Choose other colors from the
china, and either carry them out
and contrast with the napkins; or,
use mats to contrast the colors in
the china and have napkins matched
to the china. There are many inter-
esting combinations available.

Take Mothers Name

Idk0 C101nSf N0IuO
In Padany island, Sumatra, the
children take their mothers name.
All property is held by the mother
and inherited by daughter. The IA
ther has no political, social, prop
erty or civil rights. The PAM
Kotches' males of Bengal are even
worse off. Out there if papa gets
into debt, the wife has the right to
sell him into slavery to pay off the
bills.

thing will match. After this is done,
press the material carefully and
cut.
Placemats are usually cut II by
II inches. Luncheon napkins are cut
II inches square, dinner napkins 10
inches, while tea or bridge napkins
are In inches square.
You may fringe the edges for a
quick and easy finish. Or, if you
have the time and inclination, hand
hemming is fine and traditional
edging.

Woman's World
Give Meals Proper Background
With Placemats Made at Home
by &,tta Haley

pERHAPS you've noticed that you
have just as nice china and silver
as your friend across the street, but
there's something so much more
effective about her table when it's
set, than yours. Or, perhaps you've
seen your things used in table set
tings made up by someone else, and
they always seem to look prettier.
The secret of a good looking din
ing table is not just in the dishes
and cutlery you use. Just as impor-
tant for setting it off properly is the
kind Of background you give it.
Linens-and by this we refer to
cotton and rayon as well as linen
can add to or detract from your
dishes. Sometimes a note of gayety
and splash of color are essential,
while at other times a quiet SUBJ
dued effect is needed.
Well, you say, I don't have a great
many linens so that I can pick or
choose just exactly what I'd like.
This is where your ingenuity comes
in. If you can't buy new materials,
see what you can do with old. Actu-
ally some sugar sacks, dyed to just
the right tone and appliqued with
the help of a pattern, may give you
a set or two for your table, which is
all you need.
Color is being used much more
extensively on the table than ever
before. White is still good, but you'll
admit that for a gay family supper
you can create the mood more ap-
propriately if you set the table with
delicate green's or a warm orange
set of placemats.
Worn Tablecloths Make
Neat Placemats
Very often tablecloths of linen,
rayon or cotton become scorched
and worn, and as such they no
longer can be used for table set

T axe Nv Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Words to Watch.

Overheard on a bus: And all
he gave me for Christmas was
bottle of per-FUME." The word
perfume has two pronunciatlons.
In best usage the noun is accented
on the first syllable, as, a bottle
of Perfume. The verb is accent
ed on the second syllable, as, the
rose per-FUMES the air.
Overheard in a furniture store:
II want to see something in re-
fractory table" Refractory is the
wrong word; it means obstinate,
unmanageable which hardly de-
scribes a table any one would want
What the shopper wanted to see
is a refectory table, kind OF exten-
sion-type dining table. Pronounce
it.: ree-FEK-tory.
Overheard on radio commenta-
ton: His answer was little too
rye-balled to be repeated on the
radio" The word the broadcaster
used Is ribald, coarse, offensive,
obscene" He used it correctly, but
he should not have rhymed 1t with
"high- -balled." The proper rhyme Is
with "dribbled, scribbled." Correct
pronunciation: RIB-1d.
Overheard during a book re-
view: 1.-THE Iroquois, it was feared,
were planning mass-uh-kree.
The word is massacre, mass muir
der" The third syllable is pro-
nounced "ker," not "kree." Say:
MASS-uh-ke (Note. Massacre is
from the French. Most French
words ending In re changed to
-er when they entered English:
centre to center, lettre to letter,
metre to meter, etc. But massacre
has retained its French re spell
ing for the reason that II 1t were
changed to "massacer" 1t would
be pronounced "MASS-uh-ser,"
since, in English, &C. before "e"
has the sound of "s." We have re-
tanned the French spelling so as
to preserve the 'k' sound OF
=, the "c.")
Watch the word quantity. 1t Is
a common fault to omit the first
at" as "KWAN-uh-te ee." Be sure
to sound both "t's" plainly, thus:
KWAHN- i-tee. Also, be sure to
sound both IT'S in identity, thus:
eye-DEN- -ti-tee.
Do you know whether to use shall OF
will when you wish to express determinat
ton? Mr. CoIby's leafiet. c. explains
the proper usage of these woros; ,.
