Southern Oregon New« Review, Thursday, June 23, 1949 W O M A N S WORLD SEWING CIRCLE PATTERNS Study Basic Needs Before Buying Linens By Ertta Haley B R ID E ., .... ,,o, Ul July one» who w ill be putting In ■ stock of household linens. Homemakers who have been keeping house for five Io ten years may well find that their stocks need replenishing Buying linens these days needs thought, care, study and some background of knowledge. As In anything, you do not buy by price alone. You do not even buy by size alone. You must know something about such things ns thread count, sizing, absorbency, m a c h in e stitches per inch, and all sorts of things which you may never have considered. Before considering these aspects of buying, check your supplies against what Is deemed a minimum practical wardrobe for each bed. This Includes six sheets, three pillowcases per pillow, two m at tress pads, one winter bedspread, one summer bedspread, one sum mer blanket and winter blankets according to the climate. Good I.inens Contribute To Well Bring It you've ever slept on n bed In which the sheet barely covered the surface, you'll know the Importance of Intelligent selection. Sheets not only protect the mattress, but they contribute to comfort and well-being. Although spoken of as linens, few women have sheets of actual linen. Cotton Is used most fre fluently because it wears and laun ders well and absorbs moisture readily. It is 10 per cent or more, you have a poor quality sheet. The breaking strength of a sheet w ill tell you how long the sheet w ill wear. When the count Is low the wear Is less than when the count is high. Select a sheet of the proper size for the bed. A standard double bed requires a sheet 81 by 108 Inches In size. It should not be less than 00 Inches long to satisfactorily cover the bed. Single beds require a 85-Inch width sheet while three-quarter beds need a 72-tnch width. Book for adequate hems on sheets as well as pillowcases to give best wear. White has been the generally ac cepted color for sheets for a long time. However, luscious pastels are now obtainable, if you want them. The colored sheets with mutchlng cases ore usually avail able only in the higher priced mus lins and percales. Princess Lines Are Flattering Sundress — Bolero for Matrons New button effects as well as Interesting color combinations are being featured on summer shorts. One of the unusual new Ideas uses buttons In the back, sock as the double row In the design sketched here. One of the very smart color effects Is the black Jersey for the tops, com bined with another color such as blue « hecks at the left, with white or solid color.
