Tho thinner cloths can bo starched over so little, thereby giving the appearance of heavier weight. This must ho done carefully, for n stlllly starched table cloth Is unsightly, to say the least. In buying table linen it is well to remember re-member that n check pattern in plain or elaborate blocks with warp and woof running straight n cross both ways Is it better bargain than a floral or curved pattern that costs tho same; for the check pattern is mor easily manufactured, nnd, in consequence, n better quality of linen Is put Into rloth of this design than Into fancy patterns nt the sumo price. |
