. Summer Napery Now Full of Color BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE NOTE OF COLOR BORDI IN NAPERY MAY BE INTRODUCED IN THE ER OF CONTRASTING MATERIAL. Luncheon sets grow more colorful all the time: At first a touch of color ‘was sufficient to add a summery look, but now the gayest ol hioned gar- dent holds no more vivid colors than do the bright fabric sets that adorn the breakfast or luncheon tables. Of course, there is not so much variety of color at any one time on any one set as is displayed in the flower beds. ‘The diversity is distributed rather than centered. However, the bizarre tones apparent when one looks over the array of table napery in the exclusive shops. ‘There are breakfast cloths and luncheon centerpieces that have lacquer red borders about white or natural colored linen. Green as rich as that of freshly growing grass borders other linen of lemion color or oyster |, y. Orange centers have black or borders. Lavender or orchid and white or canary tones are other favorite color combinations. Hemstitched Borders. In all of the sets described the color is hemstitched as bordering on to the white or contrasting color fabric, / which may be linen, or & novelty ma- terial instead. Indeed, un- bleached cotton cloth is “frequently employed for the neutral fabrie, with bordering no more costly. The two fabrics may be machine hemstitched together, or each border strip may be seamed by machine and turned inside out, leaving no stitching visible, and then the border may be faggoted to the middle portion. Conservative Style. Plaid material is in vogue for napery. The plaids are large and con- sist of lines of color against white for the tablecloths. Napkins have the identical stripes cressing to, form squares, but the squares are much smaller, They match in color and de- sign, but are not of the same weave. BSuch sets are decidedly fetching and are in high fayor in France. Borders may be of the lines woven in band- ings near the edges, or they may be of plain color of the same hue as lines of the plaid. Revival. - ' Colored table napery such as was in Yogue about & quarter of a century ago has returned to lon. _ The main difference is the finish of the fabric, Now it is glossy like damask, which indeed it is, instead of bei in dull finish as formerly. The old- fashioned napery of this sort was cheaper than the white, but today that is far from the case. Often the beauty of the design in white against a col- ored fleld is so fine and beautiful that Y e 1y s 000 gk T nge sm or 3 may be very short and stand out stiff and straight or it may be fairly Jong.

NEW -YORK, July 12, 1776.—~The King’s mavy today joined his army and is anchored "off . Staten island. With it came more transports and more soldiers on'theélr: missfon of e. The admiral of the fleet is Richard Howe, brother of Gen. William Howe, the military . com- mander. Lord Howe comes, so they say, not as a fighting sallor, but as his majesty’s official peace commis- sioner, duly delegated to tell these United States how they can restore themselves in the good will of th British ministry and then securs- well; nobody knows yet what Lo Howe’> has to offer. And untli he offers it nobody is going to assume hat the offer will be satisfactory. The.first naval maneuver of the snemy after Lord Howe's arrival—im- - _mediately after, in fact—was the send- ing of two warships up the North River to the Highlands of Hudson's River for the purpose of cutting off Washington’s communications by the river with Albany’ and the American army, which has recently retreated from Canada to Crown Point. Two enemy ships could easlly accomplish this, since Cen."

Gen. George Clinton commands the New York militia along Hudson's River, Gen. Washington has ordered him to assemble as l-.rr a force as possible at Anthony’s Nose and to send an express to the western parts of Connecticut to call out their militia. Gen. Clinton had anticipated this or- der by mobilizing- regiments of militia and stationing them at New- burg, Fort Montgomery and Fort Con- stitution, op) t-flWm Point, A solid boats will be stretched ‘across:the river at West Point, to be set afire if 4nd small | 3, ' Why Walter Doesn’t Rave.
