War Time Table 
Cloths 
Russian Wood 
Trunks 
Table cloths of the finer types have 
now, under the pressure of circumstances, 
grown something of a lu.xury. Carefully 
chosen substitutes can, however, be very successful as two 
somewhat startling innovations show. 
For country cottage or breakfast use, checked dust sheets 
of unusuallv good quality are being used as table cloths 
by some enterprising folk, this departure from the beaten 
track of things being brilliantly successful. They are in red 
and blue and white^check. last clean much longer than the 
generality of table cloths ; and when at last soiled need no 
elaborate laundrying, but can be washed out easily — and 
without starch— at home. These dust sheets wear and wash, 
wash and wear with unfailing regularity ; and can be recom- 
mended to all whose stock of table linen is either unsatisfac- 
tory or is running low. They cost only 7s. 6d. or los. each. 
Yet another unusual but commendable idea is the turnmg 
of some hemstitched huckaback full-bleach linen towels 
into table cloths. These arc particularly suitable for kitchen 
use, though they have been elevated into dining room re- 
gions. They are hemstitched at either end, are a yard and 
three quarters square and are being sold off at 8s. 6d. each. 
For quality they are simply unsurpassed, and they sh..'uld 
be secured before the present supply runs out. 
This metamorphosis was suggested to the firm concerned 
by one or two originally-minded customers, and a very happy 
notion it has proved. 
Anyone perplexed by the difficulties 
of porterage, and the restriction of lug- 
gage, should send for an invaluable 
leaflet, describing and illustrating some Russian three-ply 
wood trunks and boxes. They only weigh from four to six 
lbs., so at a pinch it is quite possible to carry them oneself. 
Light though they are, however, they are absolutely 
unbreakable ; and in look they resemble polished satmwood. 
They arc made on the premises of a certain London firm, 
and the business done in them is stupendous, people seeming 
to find in them their precise requirements. 
Those who are tired of the ordinary 
detachable collar, in lawn, crepe de chine, 
or something equally frail and perish- 
able will be pleased with some new examples in more durable 
fabrics, yet smartness itself withal. A famous firm are 
making them in soft surfaced flannel cloths, also m g<-ibar- 
dines. The last named are biggish collars, just the thing to 
wear with a coat frock, and are in white, grey, and ocige 
colour They keep clean quite a long time, at least, the grey 
and beige colours do, and in wear are both charming and 
satisfactory. . „ u , 
The flannel cloth variety are made in a smaller shape, speci- 
ally designed to fit neatly over the collar of a tailor-made 
coat, and cost but 3s. 6d. They are in white and very dis.nc- 
tive looking, being edged with a bold blanketing stitch in 
blue, mauve, white, or black. 
Something of this kind improves the look of the average coat 
and skirt almost unbelievably, being one of the small 
additional touches, minute in themselves, yet all important. 
Quick and easy cleaning of a house is 
in these days of infinite importance, 
and any means to this end are more 
than welcome. " Dusmo " does undoubtedly minimise 
the sweeping-and also dusting-of carpets and rugs in a 
quite wonderful way. It is a kind of powder, and should be 
laid in a straight line on the carpet and then swept to the 
other end, going the right way of the weave. Then it is simply 
gathered up in a dust-pan, the carpet being well swept 
and fresh looking all through this easiest of processes. Isot 
only does it keep carpets free from dust, but it preserves the 
colour, and helps them to keep new-looking in the most satis- 
factory way. ,, . ,, ^ r^„. 
The astonishing thing about " Dusmo is that even after 
it has been used and must consequently be lull ot dubt, it
