Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 8,1971 — Ladies, Have You Heard? . . Table Linens Still Popular Table linens are not out of'date, although they have been used for centuries Covers for tables were used thousands of years ago <■ A desire for beauty and a need for cleanli ness made the use of table linen a natural cus tom Guests at banquets in ancient Eome wip ed their hands on the edges of the cloth so extra large cloths were provided. In primitive countries, mats woven from bamboo, twigs, or grasses were usual accom paniments to meals And m England during the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, only used table linen The emphasis today is on fun without fuss. When shopping, look for something that re quites a minimum of care and that best fits your needs It’s essential to measure the table before buying new linens. A tablecloth looks best when-it extends 12 to 15 inches over the edge of the table. Place mats may be round, oval, rectangular or triangular. A convenient size is about 14 by 13 inches. Choice of mats will depend on the size and shape of your table You can use table linens as a protection for your table and as a unifying agent for all the items you put on the table. Even though today’s table lin ens are called linens, they come in a variety of fabrics and ma terials. You have to know what kind of care each requires Read the label for information on care and then follow the in structions. Decorative Closets Any neat, well-planned closet gives you a sense of orderliness especially when that closet is your linen closet And it isn’t necessary to spend a mint on expensive carpentry or sacrifice practicality for a decorator-look today. You’ll find wall coveungs and shelf papers in interesting col ors and patterns easy to tailor k) •- V-V.: \ THOMAS to your closet And they’re just as easy to keep clean with a damp sudsy cloth. You can face shelves with equally attractive and washable edging to frame your linens. You can even make matching bands to hold each stack of sheets, pillow cases, and cloths neatly in place. The attractive look of mater ials with built in soil resistance may stimulate you to plan space-saving tricks Maybe your linen shelves are stacked only halfway up If so, you may want to install a short half-shelf between two regular ones, on which to store napkins, fingertip towels, and other small pieces. Or you may want to use what so often is waste space between the last shelf and the floor to store blankets in boxes. Cover the boxes with the same attrac tive fabric with which you cov ered the walls or shelves. An attractive, orderly linen closet doesn’t have to cost a for tune just a little bit of your time and a piece of your ima gination. Garber Oil Co.
