included: all cotton, all linen,
cotton-lnen mixtures, rayon-
linen mistures. Towels were test
ed after one laundering and after
use and so launderings.
From the tests Miss Ginter
concludes that no one kind of
toweling has all qualities desired.
For example, she found that the
rayon and the linen towels lost
strength with repeated washing
but absorbed moisture better
while cotton gained strength and
absorbed moisture less. So she
suggests that the homemaker
Should understand the qualities
OF different towelings, and then
buy according to what is most
important to her.
Towels generally increase in
absorption from the first to the
18th laundering, she finds, though
some cottons absorbs less after
much laundering.
Tightly twisted yarns and close
even weaves makes for durabili-
ty. Miss Ginter reports that the
reyon and all linen towels had
The least yarn twist and the low
est yarn count. Cottons were the
most firmly woven.
The linen and the rayon towels
lost weight with use and launder-
ing, but the cotton and cotton
linen towels generally held their
weight, or even increased it with
shrinkage.
The cottons and the cotton
linens shrank more than the lin
ems and the rayons. Shrlnkage
made the towels heavier and
more durable but less absorbent.
When tested for breakage af-
ter SO washings, the linens and
the rayonS proved weakest.
Rayon towels held their white
ness. Unbleached cottons and lin
ems became whittier with washing.
But heavy firmly woven cotton
often is harder to wash white
than looser fabric.
AS for cost, Miss Ginter re-
ports that the linen and the ray
on mixtures were most expen-
Sive. Plain cotton towels were de-
cidely cheaper than the average
toweling; the cotton-linen mix
lures next cheapest. Printed cot
tons cost more. Linen towelings
were more than twice the cost of
the average of all.

means that it would save you one

 For all who have dreamed of visiting France, and those who actually plan to do so, this

 the more interesting phases of
 French history. customs, cul-

 No ordinary tourists guide, this, but a rambling, leisurely visit to the towns and villages of the various provinces, so a. like, and yet differing so wide Fly in matters of costume, cus- toms and dialects. The accom- panying maps and illustra-
 tions, many in color, add
 greatly to the interest of the book. There are quaintly anu Ising sketches and dignified full page illustrations of the great cathedrals and pubic

 One is strongly convinced, even after a casual reading, that the French people are un- surpassed in their "joie de vivre". They have unbounded enthusiasm and are able to re- cover their spirit even after the catastrophe of war.
