Tips On Buying Household Linens
Homemaker's pride symbol of gracious living and home comfort ?
the well atocked linen family closet ? household textiles by Cannon.
its ? wim nomemaKer who shops
for household linens at the tradi
tional January White Sales.
Some useful shopping tips
to help you choose wisely
and well arc offered by the
Cannon Homemaking Institute.
Whether you buy muslin or per
cale, decide in advance whether
you want regular sheets or the fit
ted type. Fitted sheets, by the way,
can be chosen for top or bottom
use. You'll find fitted sheets in
color, six different pastels, and. of
course, white. Therea new pink
lilac, for homemakers who nave
been seeking orchid sheets. And a
lovely rich true blue.
In buying bath towels, look for
a Arm, cloae underweave. This is
best seen at the plain area of the
towel, near the hem or border,
where there is often a strip with
out loops. For drying, a terry tow
el's loops, being like small sponges,
create its absorbency. The more
loops a towc* has the faster it will
dry you.
