Show GRANDMOTHER'S LINEN. ,M rORTUXATE indeed Is the girl Who can, manage fo secure one or more of tfl the old fashioned hand woven linen r-JI sheets to use iu furnishing her room. They "' flH make most beautiful bedspreads aud por-. MmM Ueren. But tho only way she i. likely to Mum get them Is if her mother or grandmother Mw happens to have them und to be willing to j MmM give her one or two. If she does succeed I MW in getting them the next-thing to do is tn Vl have them embroidered. She will prob- fl ably not be able to do this work herself. ' 1 for s;uch valuable things as these old sheets E H ought to have rery haudsouid embroidery. ' H Ouly the girl who can spend money quite ' H freely in decorating her room should try ' H to nse them. H I For a bedspread a border design should JH be chosen of tiower.s to match the color jH uchome of the room. Have (he border go Bl all around the. spread, and the same flow- ' 'll ors may be tnd in a group in the centre ' j H unlc.sa the border Is wide enough and dab- orate enough to make anything in the , ' ' centre seem superfluous. ; In using a sheet for a portiere the beat t H effect is gained by having the embroidery. , rl entirely in horizontal lines except a pu$- ( 'H tdble narrow border t)n -the .tides. 'There v iMMm may be either one nry broad and'fat - ' H at the bottom, jooie W -the1 flow ruif-. i WMM mng well up on the curuiin. or one may " hl have the border at tho botto.ni somewhat lmm narrower, with a s-cond hnnri higher up.
