Durable Linen Towels a Wise Investment BT EDNA MILES O NE of the best buys a housewife can get for her money these days is the low-count, coarse-weave linen dish towel. The reasons for this are many but one of the foremost is the greater absorbency of the linen towel. It thus takes fewer towels to stock a linen cabinet. Absorbency is, of course, a primary factor in any towel. But there are other sound reasons for investing a portion of your household money jp linen. Linen was widely used for bandages before the advent of sterilization because it is a poor breeding ground for germs. This is highly essential in hygenic dish-drying. It’s easy to launder, because it requires no bleach and be comes softer and whiter with age. And linen towels give a high polish to glassware because they are nearly free from lint of any kind. The trick in getting a high gleam in glass ware is to polish each piece with a dry towel after it has been thoroughly dried. Other linen products, such as place mats and napkins, shown in picture at left, laundbr and iron easily. They are durable and colorful, appearing in decorator colors of green, chartreuse, coral, brown, turquoise, cloud pink, sky blue and maize for mixing or matching. These perfect back grounds for your china and silver are finished .with hem stitching and a fringe. While the linen product costs slightly more than other types, it’s an economical, long-range purchase because of*its great durability. • -.T ' .v.: Mm 4. jg wimlmm m' Tt* , .• > v: ;•* T', p-ill \ m Crockett-Kirkland Rites St. Mary’s Catholic Church Camden, was the scene of a sim ple but impressive ceremony at 11 a.m., August 2nd, when Miss Katherine Kirkland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Randolph Withers Kirkland of Newberry, became the bride of William Edward Crockett Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. William Edward Crockett of Nash ville, Tennessee.
