So a display of table linens to-morrow admirably suitable as gifts for honiekeepers. Table sets and separate pieces selected with the good taste that characterizes those who know worth, who appreciate that elegance in linens, depends first of all upon superior qual ity. Every piece is genuinely fine, and therefore a gift to be proud of. That some of these pieces are under-price is more “a state of mind” of the linen buyer than anything else. He will keep fresh stocks coming in, though the new patterns are often very much like those that must have their prices cut to make room for these new ones.
