Study Basic Needs Before Buying Linens

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.

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.
