TABLECLOTHS AND NAPKINS.

Lavtnworth'a Police Commissioner,
Qc.s for Variety Shows.

police commissioner, who recently

rid the town of variety theaters,

A BOMB IN CHICAGO.
White Linen Always Appropriate Stylet
For Homo Vae ami For Company.
Every housewife takes it deep interest
in the table linen, and fortunately IM
may give free rein to her fancy in this
portion of her renlm, whatever fashion
may dictate in other directions. If lor
any reason this tablecloth or 'that set of
napkins commend themselves to her fa
vor, they may bo purchased and used for
all ordinary occasions. Natnrally she
will have a special cloth, "with napkins
to match," to be brought forward on the
more ceremonious occasions.
The size of the tablecloth must bo de
termined in a general way by that. of the
tab!:, says Uood Housekeeper, authority
for the following i Where an extension is
used there should be one cloth large
enough for the table when all of the
leaves are in place, but such a spread
Would be entirely out of place when half
of the surface had been taken away, and
smaller cloths should be provided of
proper size for the ordinary use. While
any approved pattern may he purchased,
it is generally a mistake to select fancy
colored linens. The white is always
standard, looks well and will be in fash
ion, but as much cannot lie said for the
colors, which may be popular one season
and entirely under the ban within a year.
Tablecloths may be bought either
woven and finished complete or by tho
yard. For kitchen tables, and not Infre
quently for general use, the latter is an
entirely satisfactory way, while it is de-
cidedlv more economical. The ends may
bo secured by a simple hem or finished
in any approved manner, and some very
pleasing effect! may be petduml by the
housekeeper skilled in such work and
having a little spare time which uiay bo
thus employed.
The nttpkin la now Indispensable at all
Well regulated tables. Breakfast nap
kins are considered of the right size if
half a yard square, but for dinner they
should be three-quarters of a yard. Be
sides the tablecloths and napkins there
ure numerous bits of linen connected
with the table service which will be
found awful, and most of which can be
readily made from linen remnants that
may be bought for a tritle or from tho
best portions of worn tablecloths. We
thus secure curving cloths, traycloths,
children's cloths, us well as the means
for protecting a tine cloth or the table
from tea or coffee stains and the like.
Sometimes a square of thin oilcloth may
be placed upon the tablecloth, and lie-
lug in turn covered by what might lie
called "a table rug" will ijive double
protection.
Cute For Sewing Materials.
This case may be made of kid, chamois
or linen canvas and lined with linen. It
may be bound with braid or simply
stitched, according to the material used,

Selftctini; a Mualc Teacher.
Pupils who talte lessons of an incom
petent teacher for several years and aft
erward study with a thorough teacher
slways find that they are obliged to go
back to the beginning. The instruction
(?) they have received has too often beer,
worse than no instruction at all, and
time and money have been wasted. All
this might liave been avoided if the pn
pil had beer: more careful in selecting a
thorough teacher at the beginning.
Pupils who have been taking lessons
for a year or two and do not know the
difference between the legato and stac
cato touch aud play piecea anil do not
know what key they are written in should
know that there ia something wrong and
should find out as soon as possible wheth
er the fault is theirs or their teacher's,
If it is the former, they had better liegin
to use their brains as well as their lingers
in practicing, but if it is the latter they
had better change teachera, says The
Etude.
