LETTERING FOR THE LINEN

Many Ok! Designs and Shapes to Be Found by Delving in the Public Library;'' I used to spend many pennies having monograms and initials stamped for embroidery, whites a contributor to Good Housekeeping. Now, when I wish to mark linen, I go to the public library and get a book on lettering. There are, many old letters and unusual shapes that the embroidery stampers do not have to be found in these books. I traced them from the book on tissue paper, and at home marked through carbon paper on to the linen. There 4s a long, very thin letter that is especially pretty embroidered, and by overlapping the letters a little, and adding a few extra lines to join them together, 1 have made some fine mono* grams.
