Arriving at the village, hall on the appointed night, he was pleased to find it full to overflowing. The tecture started with "Tom o' Shouter," and Snodgrass wound up with "Duncan Gray." Juet as the lecture was drawing to a close a voice called out from the back of tate hall. "IS'elt, what is it, my matt?" asked the lecturer impatiently. "When are you goingto give us a few hints?" ?u s replied the Interr. tt et. "Hhtts?" echoed Snodgrass, looking very' puzzled. "Yes, Mitts," went on the other.

SHOE POLISH NU66ET 'RI *114 with a tni4tf ae as: Many Facts About Towels l So many modern towels are made attractive by new. designs: and touchy- es of eater that sometimes , in bur aliasing them one loses ,sight of the practical problem. Bet quality, in a. towel is determined by the yarn and by the weave, that should, ha dose enough to make the towel durable. In fact,it is the weave that dis- tiaguishes face from bath towels. Face towels have three different weaves.. These are the plain, the twill and the - satin, Twilled weaves Include, hucka- back, bird'seye and goose -eye. It is an interesting fact that "Buck" cue rives its name from: the ofd, custom, of huek--' stere peddling this weave from door to doortt '.Both the soft yorns ands the weave' of a 'luck towel make it ab- sorbent. However,. its yarn may be linen, cotton 01' "union." Mule last le a term that the waif -informed' buyer should know. It means that the main- thread oal' warp is cotton,. but the woof, or fall'ing,is linen. Of course linen Intek„ like. other linen fabrics, sells fon more.. than cotton. ]Linen or flax yarns. are' strong. and! db' riot lint; are.' absorbent and dry quickly. Also, they bleach attractively with each launder- ing„ and wash easily. . However, ' a good cotton or "union" huck towel la to be preferred' to one of a poor quality of listen: On the elide, the demand for good' cotton buck towels is in: excess, at that for any ether kind'. 'Union' towels are more- absot?bent than eotton,. but less so, than linen. The. housewife can; learn to tell the, difference between these three tett.. tiles, Linen is stiffer and snore- Ina- trenS than cotton.. The threads of 'union"' may be .drawly and tested °to• show the difference. b.etweere warp and filling. Cotton has a distinguishing, texture; Unbleached linen tweet ai sil- very oyster calor and is eoiesfderedt particularly durable because it has not been "full bleached with chemicals,, The housewife does heti• ohvite fermi cW- ing fib time with soapsu and suu- shine and gets the IltenelIt o?' both te lower price and lengthened seevice. An ecru-coloredd tinen is milted a'0 oar- ter Wendy.' Turkish Teweis With Turkish towels the Looped weave called "Turkish' or terry Is familiar. of comae. An innovation is bath towelsisthe 'wavy ribbed weave, and is preferred by the bather wlm. wants friction rather than absorbency' after the bath. These ribbed towels in either linen or cotton are very durable and come in the large sizes. The yarn used in a Turkish towel is spun medium -hard and is woven with two sets of warp threads against only one set of woof threads. The. hest Turkish towels have two loops an the surface, or a double threat'. This adds strength, of course. But the number of filling thread between the loops al- so influences the'dttrab'il[ty. This number varies greatly in different grades, "Ply yarn" is the term used for the thread in the warp of the best weaves, where several strands are twisted together to makenne firm one. Of course the more of these "singles" that are twisted into the ply yarn, the firmer is the towel To judge the quality of a Turkitilt towel, examine the selvage to look for a firm edge. Plenty of closely -woven threads means that thetowel will stand many launderings. Next count the number of filling threads between the loops. With this weave, the woof is as important as the strength of lite warp. Last, notice the number of threads to each loop. 1f the yarn making the loop can be pulled apart, this indicates that it is double -ply or strong yarn. The length of the loops is also a point. A long loop mattes an absorbent towel, but the shorter close - set ones a more durable one. Colored Towels Is Small Turkish towels are also use- ful as hand and guest towels. They are absorbent and softer to the skin than in the hack. They may be had with attractive colored borders. The all -colored towel is very decora- tive in tile• bathroom, and handsome acquered patterns feature many of these. Some with deep colored bor- ders, especially in the Turkish weaves, are designed by artists. The newest woven borders rival the hand em- iroidel'y and monograms formerly popular. Nearly all the pastel tints, mantling Orchid, Pale gre00, pink, rose, blue and buff, can be bought to snatch walls, draperies or tiling, but o fastness of color interests the clever buyer. A fact to understand in this connection is that cotton .retains dye bettor than linen, Therefore the linen Or Turkish towel with a deep cotton border in color is a better buy than au all -]loan towel in color. Size is a matter of Individual prefer- ence. Twenty-seven by 42 inches is a good choice for a face towel, while guest towels may vary from 15 by 22 o 10 by 24. Men nearly always pre- er a genereee eted tow.1 sli towels may be had all extra lame`' ize, measuring 27 by 54 inches, froth this graduating in ne lo those as email as 17 by 34 inches.
