A New Tea Cloth
London. A simple thing which has been planned and made for the position it is to occupy in a scheme of decoration is of far greater artistic value than the most beautiful article chosen at random. Thus, a tablecloth, exactly fitting the top of a table, with a valance of lace which falls straight from the edges without fulness or folds, is a far more distinctive cover than the regulation teacloth which can be used for any table. It is quite easily made. A circlt of lace (it can be large or small) is inserted into a large circle of linen which fits the top of the table and allows {in. for turnings. Wide lace is sewn round the edge of the linen perfectly fiat, without gathers or fulness anywhere. The lace and the linen should be soaked well before being made up, so that the finished article will not run the risk of being spoiled by shrinkage in subsequent washing.
SAGO SHAPES. Sent in by “R.M.” Wyndham. One cup of sago, one cup of sugar, one cup jelly, apple or currant, raspberry or apricot jam, 4 cups of water. Soak the sago all night in half the water, then boil the sago and add the sugar and jam. Beat and set in a mould. Serve cold with custard or cream.
