ARG Fe * x * . For Anything the Homemaker and the Housekeeper _ TOWEL ADVICE It has been stated most brides start their married life with a good- ly stock of towels, but it is a mis- take to put them all into use at the same time. The better plan is to take part into daily use, keep a second part as reserve stock, to be drawn upon as the towels in daily use wear out, and keep the very best for special occasions. Then the reserve stock as it is drawn upon should be replenished each 'yvear as sale time comes 'around. In this way it is never nec- essary to replace an entire house- hold supply all at once, which is a very costly purchase, . It is not possible to.lay down ab- solute rules as to the numbers re- quired but an average estimate would be an allowance of three bath towels and four bedroom tow- els per person for* general use. Bath towels are made in varying pizes, textures, and degrees of thickness, Bath sheets are better avoided in the long rum, for they are not only expensive to begin with but heavy if washed at home, and ruinous if sent to the laundry, A couple, however, should be kept in reserve, for they are of considerable convenience in cases of illness. \Tur- kish bath towelling may be either of cotton or linen. The cotton kind fs cheaper and softer, but is not so durable as the linen variety, The best Turkey towklling is woven with a double thread, and in the cheaper qualities the coarse weave of the ¥ igh : : The Women's Corner a . Ld * of Interest to material {8 apparent between the pile when the towel is held up to the light, The entirely white towel, is not popular nowadays. The su- perior qualities of colored towels have chenille-finished ends, with designs so charming and varied that they may be selected to harmonize or match any bedroom or bathroom, The newest allover colored bath towels are known as rainbow tow- els, and they are striped in varied pastel ghades, : Hand towels of linen are always preferable to those of cotton. Their extra cost is always compensated for by the longer wear, and they are generally huckaback or diaper, attern the latter being the softer. for everyday use a plain hem or a hem-stitehed border is best. The more elaborate kinds are embroid- ered at one or both ends, and em- bellished with a monogram or ini- tial, But the desire for cglor has invaded even in this department, and some delightful towels are to be had in which there is a soft shaded *border in blush rose just above the hem. A monogram in the same shade makes these towels as original ag they are attraetive, The sizes of hedroom towels vary considerably, but a good serviceable average will be found in 24x40 in- ches, Small guests' towels should be included in every household outfit, for it makes a towel for every guest | a matter of very little trouble in laundering at home or expense if sent out, WOMEN'S MEETINGS OAKLEIGH LODGE, L.0.BA.
