THE EVER POPULAR BOX COAT py i the process in which the seeds and dry leaves are removed from the end of the flax stalk. In some countries this is done by hand, by two mea who sit at either end of a bench; in ithe centre of the bench is a comb | with teeth 18 inches long, through which the flax stalks are drawn to remove seeds and leaves. In more up- to-date countries," however, rippling is done by machinery. { "Retting" 1s now started. In this process, the outside, woody portions of the stem are decomposed so that the inner part, or flax fibre, can be gotten at. Retting is done in three ways: 1, By placing the flax stalks on the ground and letting the sun, dew and rain decay the outer layers of the stalk. 2, By using steam and chemicals to remove he outer' lay- er. 3, By placing the flax stalk in pools where they may lie until the {Do You Know How Linen is Made? "Please write some articles about { making linen, woolen and cotton fah- |rics, just as you did about silk, not jlong ago," writes a reader of this column. I am glad to do as this Let- {ter Friend asks, and' shall begin, to- day, with the following facts con- cerning the making of linen: Linen fibre comes from the stem of the flax plant. This plant is an erect stalk which grows from 20 to-40 inches high and has stems branching near "the top, narrow leaves, and tiny blue flowers. Flax has been grown in Egypt for 5,000. | years. It is found in many other | courMries, including Ireland, Bel- glum, Russia, France, Italy, Holland, Canada and the United States. In some of these countries the flax plant produces a coarser fibre than in dthers, so that the linen cloth made from it is heavy and coarse. |Water decays the outer layer. { "Breaking" and "Scrutching" ful- son paming We Tox os, The Tow.

Outfit That Goes Well With Sport Wear Can Be Made in Next to No Time. A smart, colored scarf never comes amiss, and one made of a fifty to sixty- Inch: wide wool fabric can be made 'n next to no time, and goes well with sport wear. Choose some loosely wov- en fabric of a bright tint, only half a yard will be needed if of the width mentioned. Cut the scarf about fifteen Inches wide or use the full eighteen inches. Select some wool of the same color or some contrasting tint, and all around the edge of the scarf do a loose buttonhole with it, placing the stitches close enough together to give firmness to the edge. Then at each end of the scarf make a fringe of the wool, knotting it through the material. Use a large-eyed wool needle and draw four threads of wool at a time through the material. Eight threads or the double of four will be sufficient for one | knotting of the wool. Then cut off | these threads to a length of about | four inclies. And that is all there is to the scarf! A tam-o'-shanter to match is smart and not hard to make just "out of one's head" without a pattern. Use for trimming at one side two tassels of the wool used on the scarf. Gray material with a bright wool trimming is a good combination, or gray wool to trim a bright material.
