Pure linen sheets are almost taboo for the aver- age purse, but cotton percale sheets of standard quality, make a good ap- pearance if hemstitehed by hand, and carefully laundered and wear well An experienced hausekeeper recom- mends that each pair of ‘‘company pillow cases” be monogrammed or marked, in a distinctive way, so that in using or laundering it will be easier to keep them in pairs, and use the pairs alternately, giving each set equal wear. In purchasing or making sheets it is advisable to make them extra long, as short sheets add to the tribulations of bed making. | Far covering ecach bed should provided with one pair of wool blan- ts. ane pair of heavy cotton fleece blankets, two cotton padding comforts and two or three white spreads, or the new old-fashioned pieced quilts now so popular for spreads. | For table claths the bride will pro- vide three for every day use, and two, longer and of fine quality for company wear. Besides there should be one very dainty luncheon set, and two ev- ery day sets. A dozen large size din- ner napkins to go with the best table cloths, a dazen every day napkins and the napkins for the luncheon sets will be sufficient For the bathroom at least a dozen Turkish towels wiil be required, and a dozen plain linen towels. One dozen linen dish towels will be sufficlent if supplemented by the home made va- riety made of well washed, bleached and hemmed flour sacking.
