Damask Lunch Cloths.

Some of the newest lunch cloths are being shown of embroidered damask. The material itself is uaflgpred, but the embroidery is usually elaborate. A very silky mercerized cotton is employed for working < out the design, and this, with the soft sheen of the damask, makes a very rich cloth almost too pretty for table use. These cloths are more practical when made in the size of a large centerpiece, for then the individual plate and tumbler dollies of plain laceedged damask can be used to protect tjie polished table surface and are more easily laundered than the heavily embroidered cover.
