7*uble Linen. 
In buying table linen it is very true that 
the best is the cheapest. A good quality 
tablecloth will outwear two or three 
coarse, thin ones. 1 have used two table¬ 
cloths for common, every-day wear all the 
time for four years, and then cut from 
them four large tray-cloths which will last 
a year or two more. Not only from the 
standpoint of economy is it better to buy 
good material, but it is a constant delight 
to the eye and the touch as long as it 
lasts, while a cheap cloth never looks well 
after it is first washed. Such table linen 
as I have in mind costs a dollar a yard 
and is unbleached. I would never buy the 
bleached goods, for the chemicals used in 
the quick-bleaching process seem to thin 
the cloth, besides making it rough look¬ 
ing. The unbleached goods whiten out 
quite soon, and the ecru tint while it lasts 
is rather agreeable than otherwise. The 
only trouble is that this good quality linen 
is very hard to launder for some time. 
When we have our ordinary family we use 
a rather small table, less than two yards 
long. So, for everyday wear. I get a yard 
and a half of tablecloth and use the width 
of it for the long way of the table. Thir 
is a saving in the first cost, and it also 
saves considerable work* in washing and 
ironing. _ s. B. R.

is finished with collar and lapels. The

half length. The pattern 5133 is cut in 
sizes for a 34, 30, 38, 40 and 42 inch bust 
measure; price 10 cents. 
The skirt is made in nine gores, there 
being a pleat at the front edge of each 
gore that is stitched fiat for a portion of 
its length The fullness at the back is laid 
in inverted pleats that are pressed flat 
and the placket can be made either at the 
center or the under-fold of the pleat as 
preferred. The quantity of material re¬ 
quired for the medium size is 8)4 yards 27,

5072 is cut in sizes for a 22, 24, 26, 28, 30

Stock Collars. —There is a strong lik¬ 
ing, especially among rather young ladies, 
for stocks of soft, wide ribbon worn un¬ 
der dainty turn-over collars and tied in a 
large bow. One and three-fourths yard of 
four-inch ribbon is about right, and a 
dark color is frequently chosen, as navy 
blue, brown or black, whichever harmon¬ 
izes with the blouse. Another large bow 
of ribbon like the stock is worn very 
low on the hair at the back. The collar 
should be fully two inches deep and 
straight top and bottom. It should just 
meet, with a tiny brooch over the ribbon 
bow in front. It can be mounted on 
a band deep enough to pin to the neck¬ 
band of the blouse under the ribbon. 
Sheer lawn hemstitched at the lower edge 
and up each end is a good material. Fine 
catstitching or drawnwork above the hem 
is pretty, or an edging of narrow lace 
may be overbanded on without fullness 
except about the corners. The much-used 
button-hole effect is still popular, and 
there is really nothing neater for every¬ 
day. A linen collar is made as de¬ 
scribed and two inch-long buttonholes are 
worked in each end. They should be 
about three-fourths of an inch apart and 
the first one that distance from the col¬ 
lar end. Of course the ribbon or Wind¬ 
sor tie is threaded out and in at the 
buttonholes and ties under the front hems, 
drawing the collar snugly into place. As 
the collars mentioned all launder beauti¬ 
fully, even a mussed one may be Changed 
for a fresh band and one’s neckwear be 
always immaculate.

WHEN BUTCHERING TIME COMES 
One of the chief needs is an Enterprise Sausage 
Stuffer and Lard Press. It lessens the labor of 
pressiug the lard and taking care of the sausage. 
ENTERPRISE 
Sausage Staffers 
are simply and strongly made. The cylinder is bored true and 
the plate tits accurately. The meat cannot rise above the plate 
under pressure. The corrugated spout prevents air entering the 
casing, assuring preservation of sausage and perfect tilling. 
The Enterpri»e Meat Chopper should be used to cut the 
sausage. If your dealer cannot supply you with these indispensable machines write ub. 
Be sure the name “ EutcrprUe ” is ou the machine you buy. Write for the “ Enterprising 
Housekeeper,” a book of 200 choice receipts, and “ Kitchen Helps,” sent free.

Every man feels a certain pleasure in the use of good 
tools. He knows that he can depend upon them to do their

seem to become. 
Keen Kutter Tools are the kind of tools that become old 
friends. They are the dependable, long-service kind. 
There is neither economy or satisfaction in using poor 
tools, they are brittle and break easily, or they are soft and

discarded long before good tools would be worn out. 
There is economy and satisfaction in buying Keen Kutter 
Tools because every Keen Kutter Tool is the best that brains, . 
money and skill can produce.

complete line of tools so that you may buy any kind of tool 
with assurance of absolute satisfaction.
