H In the first place, all sheets should H be marked plainly with the name or B number of the bed for which they are intended. Then they should be piled accordingly. Two-inoh strips of linen, marked either with outlined letters of a contrasting color or with Indelible ink, and featured with button and but-tonholo but-tonholo or with snap fasteners, are very good for keeping the piles separate separ-ate and telling what they contain. Towels, too, can be classified in this way. Most of us do not have separate supplies of towels for each room, but If you do, initial them and mark them with indelible ink numbers, and keep them In piles like sheets. For tablecloths, very useful holders can be made of cretonne. Cut two pieces of pasteboard a little larger than the size of the tablecloth in question ques-tion and cover each with cretonne on one side. Then overhand together. To each side sew a strip of cretonne, hemmed or bound at the edges Place the table cloth on the flat pasteboard and fold over the ends, fastening them with snap fasteners For sets of table dollies, make cretonne cre-tonne holders of appropriate sizes. Cut four rounds or ovals or squares of pasteboard for ench sized doily. Cover Cov-er one side of two pasteboards with tonne, and one side of the other two pieces with lining silk or silesia. Then overhand a lining to a cretonne. Make a garter of elastic covered with ribbon, rib-bon, with a small bow or rosette over the joining and slip this over the holder hold-er when the doilies are in place. For centerpieces, have a cloth covered cov-ered wooden roll or pasteboard cylinder. cylin-der. Roll the centerpieces around this and then roll a piece of cretonne over all. tie and rest assuerd that jour centerpieces cen-terpieces will not wrinkle. |
