“DECORATIVE LINENS,

NEEDLEWONE

Beautiful linens How much the appent to the home-prond woman Nowdays it is comparatively easy, for the hon wife to stock her men cupboard with merous decorative pieces which will make all the difference to the appearance of he Home, Her choice in the shops is almost unlimited, and for those with slender purge the inability to spend much on such items need not mean doing without, when hinën now-a- days can be bought cheaply by the yard and made up at boine into all manner of decorative, serviceable pieces. Colour just now plays the all-important part in home furnishing, and the lineus are not exempt from decoration'in colour,

Coloured tablecloths are immensely po- pular, especially for the cottage home, and a big variety of coloured damasks are to be obtained. For best wear nothing looks nicer than linen, and really beautiful results can be obtained by working a border design all round the edge in same contrasting colour, either in a cross or a darning stitch. Pale cream linen worked with him thread is a lovely combination, and so also is pále green with brown.

Filet Inces are becoming more and more popular, and they look delightful when used with coloured linen. A point to re member is that these laces can be easily' dyed if necessary to match the colour of the material. At the moment wide lace borders are not nearly so much in favouras narrow ons.. Lace motifs are used extensively together with lace borders.

Conventional floral designs carried out in cross-stitch an pastel coloured grounds are need a great deal on runners, table and tray cloths, and even small blinds. For the nursery, animal designs are used. Face towels can be made most attractive by working a border design at the edge in a darning stitch. Bright blue or a red wash- ing thread is the best to use for the purpose. There is also a revival of patchwork, but the modern variety is very different from that our grandmothers practised To dar uniformity of colour and designs the key- cote, and all manner of runners, cushions, curtains, and bed spreads are seen in this fascinating work.

It is now the fashion to have diffrent linen sets for different meals. A sugges- tion for a breakfast set would be the em broidering of quaint Dutch figures in blue on a white linen ground Baskets filled with flowers worked in pastel shades would look lovely on pale lemon-coloured linen, For the tea table a square of white linen will look charming when outlined with a blue crochet edging and maybe a mono. gram embroidered in one corner.

REVOLVING TABLE TRICK.

BOXES OF COSTLY JEWELLERY DISAPPEAR

Friedrich Mutz, convicted of conspiring with his friend and partner to rob several persons of money borrowed by their bogus firm of "Mutz, Matzia and Co.," by means of a trick, has been sentenced to three years' hard labour in Vierina.

Otto Matzka is still being sought on a warrant in North Africa. N

At this trial Mutz put all the blame on his old school friend. "Matzka. They were both Austrian officers. Their trick was the substitution of a box containing cool and metal shavings for a similar box in which, in their office, & victim had placed some jewellery worth about a thousand pounds.

With the magic words "There is a draught," which distracted the lender a attention. Matzka pressed a spring. This caused the table to revolve. The bar with the jewels disappeared and was replaced by the box with cont, which the lender later w deposited in a bank, himself keeping the key

The two young men disposed of about twenty boxes of coal, and secured thousands of pounds. They went on paying handsome interest until the bubble burst. An Ame- rican, after having the jewels valued, in- sisted, as it was luncheon time, on having them put into a bank safe before going to the swindlers' office to sign the contracts.

They fled the same night, and when interest became unpaid, a farmer lender obstinately insisted on having the jewels. He went with a lawyer to the bank, opened his box, and discovered the coal and shivmga

SEAL BULLY.

While the mother looked on helplessly (or indifferenly), the seal was seen to catch the infant by the flipper and try to fling it into the pond. None of the sexhions had the pluck to correct the seal, so the an thorities decided that Brufest be mpelled
