To Match Glassware. Our dining tables are more The gaily coloured than ever. general trend is to match the coloured glassware or lower de corations in choosing our luncheon and dinner mat sets, in which the colour is usually introduced by hand embroideries. Italian designs which have had, and are having, such a distinct vogne in this connexion are now being copied perfectly by Hiri- embroiderers. The tish women work is done on hand-woven linen, and such sets, which are by no means so expensive as some people think, are worthy to be looked on as heirlooms of the linen chest.
