Household Linen.

The laundering work of many a housewife has been reduced since breakfast and luncheon sets became popular. For the small household, a delightful striped or checked cloth, with napkins to match, is quite large enough. Quite a new idea is to have china striped in the same colour as the cloth.

Afternoon-tea cloths are often exquisitely embroidered. They, too, have napkins to match. The “sit-down” afternoon tea is becoming very popular among those who “bridge.”

Gay buffet runners, luncheon cloths, wagon covers, can be worked in bright shades of coarse embroidery twist on linen or crash.

Whatever your bathroom colour scheme, towels can be obtained to match it, and very reasonably. For guest towels, pale pastel embroidery on white or cream linen is charming, while huckaback in pastel shades needs only to be hemmed.
