LINEN ECONOMIES
Every month or so the linen cupboard should bo thoroughly turned out and small repairs and alterations made. Tablecloths wear first at the folds, owing to the pressure of the hot iron. When, therefore, your tablecloth is becoming thin at the folds, cut off an inch-wide strip from one side and hem the raw edge. Next time tho tablecloth is washed and ironed the creases will come in a different place, and the life of the cloth will be lengthened. Tho same method may be taken with table napkins. Instead of folding tablecloths and sheets lengthways, as is usually done, fold them the other way occasionally.
