Enhance daily living with beautiful linens
Vibrant., warm and fa-
miliar, table linens 'en-
hance the pleasafit; mo-
ments of everyday living.
Your table linens are
the background for every
setting . . setting the
theme with texture, color,
and pattern. The look can
be modern, "provincial,
traditional, Victorian, or
a combination.
Dramatic accent
As the background for
all your table treasures,
china, glassware and fa-
vorite decorations and
centerpieces, choose your
linens as you select ward
robe accessories, to com-
plement, to accent, to
dramatize.
For that special occa-
sion .formal table, the
classic "white" linen ta-
blecloth is no longer the
rule. Although white is
classic and always in good
taste,'today we have
adapted color throughout
the home,
Now the finest decora-
tive.linens come in colors
that range from cool pas-
tels to brilliant jewel
tones. In using color, pas-
tel tends to lend dignity
and a more quiet look ,
deep colors a dramatic
effect.
For all times
Placemats of Belgian
linen and polyester can
set the mood for every
setting and occasion, as
illustrated. Proper and
elegant for the most for-
mal setting, embroidered
and . decoratively edged.
Pretty and practical !or
breakfast tol midnight
snacks. — in • simple tex-
tures trimmed in contrast-
ing colors.
Flexible, they adapt to
many- different serving ar-
easy to care for since they
,have a permanent press,
soil release finish.
The right size table-
cloth is very important to
the look of the table. Bel-
gian linen tablecloths are
made in all sizes to fit
different tables, from the
rangements. They come in
all shapes ... rectangle,
oval, round, and contour.
Delightfully practical and
popular bridge table, to
the lovely oval. oblong,
and round.
Remember the larger
the table, the longer the
overhang — 5" to 10" over-
hang for a small table —
10" to 15" for a larger
table. For a mole gracious
appearance, buffet tables
may even have a longer
overhang.
Mix and match
- Select napkins in a va-
riety of solid colors, plain,
embroidered, or appliqued
— all to mix and match,
Napkins are a decorative
touch, and also subtly in-
dicate formality or infor-
mality of the setting.
The larger the napkin
the more formal. Knowing
several napkin folds can
give your table settings a
little added dignity for
special occasions, amusing
. touches at other times.
In selecting your table
linens do not forget main-
tenance.' Since homemak-
ers must schedule less
and less time for house-
work, 100% linen .cloths
have been supplanted by
a 65% Belgian linen/35Y
polyester blend cloth with
a permanent ,press and
soil release finish.
Smooth and fold
Best results are obtain-
ed by tumble drying in an
automatic dryer. Remove
immediately at end of
cycle, smooth by hand
'and fold neatly.
