& inciting with tho gravity of sages and deliberating; with an intelligence rareiy equalled in business assemblies, the National l/a-m-iry Association at London recently combined the pleasures of good-fellowship wi'h a lively interest in the wash-tub. | " Does France wash linen better than England?" was the international topic of the hour, and to the elucidation of the problem M. Camilla Simon read a paper stocked with information which only an expert could acquire. Ou tho whole (says tho Telegraph) this country came out of tho fray with untarnished colors. In finishing certain classes of fine work our neighbors were credited with an uucoramon degree of proficiency, but the balance of opinion inclined to the insular belief that it is hard to bo_t England at anything. Of course London had many disadvantages compared with Paris, where fogs aud smoky chimneys aro not regular institutions-. A laundryman who wore a shirt for two days iv England candidly avowed that tbe same article would do service for three in France, and even then resent imputations upon the cleanliness of its starched front. " Stewing " wa_ generally approved, and the too-often sadly misleading words " Blanchisserie Fraucaise " condemned as not always conveying what they seemed to indicate. Purified English tablelinon was held up as a pattern the foreigner might envy, but the feeling prevailed that our home washed and ironed material might appeal more kindly to thy eye if it were wrapped and folded with tho artistic expressiveness affected by our Continental friends.
