We have said nothing about the articles that can be of use in the dining-room for the table. It paves the way for a great " flow of soul " to have things on the table beautiful enough to be admired. A long scarf, or sash of linen or scrim, with flowers or fruit outlined on it ; this make a table dressy to lay this through the table lengthways ; the ends can be trimmed with a linen lace, or better, with a linen fringe. A tray-cloth before the dispenser of tea, % yard of Russia crash, is serviceable and pretty; most any design is appropriate, from a Jap- anese pagoda to an American teacup ; the designs can be put on straight or diagonally at the corners ; red working cotton and black silk wash and wear the best. Doyleys for bread trays, small squares of linen fringed, a few threads pulled and hem-stitching. Cake doyley is prettier round, of fine linen, with dainty open-work border crocheted in fine thread; particularly pretty to use for fancy cakes and wafers. Finger-bowl doyleys can be simple or elaborate ; Kate Greenaway NEEDLE WORK. 675
