LARGER TABLE MATS
A short time ago the fashionable size in table mats was a rather large square, with a long narrow strip to be placed above, on which all the glasses were arranged in a row, states an English. writer. The smartest mats are now bigger, about 18in long by 12in deep, and can accomodate all the impedimenta of dining, including glasses and small bread plate. The most extravagant of these sets is made in finest organdie in pale green, with appliqued border and design in green washing satin. The design is symmetrical, with tiny appliqued crosslines. Fine hemstiching is used for the applique work. Square napkins are sold to match, and there is a long oblong runner which can be used for the centre of the table or for a serving table.
