HARLAND H. ALL Summer Clothes for Furniture. Slip covers are a mon portunity for the housewife, and she would do well to seize it. They not only protect the upholstery that you chose with such loving deliber- ation, but also guard finely polished woods, and make your stuffed pieces both dustproof and germproof. Of eourse they have a real dec value, in that they brighten up on home for the Summer months. In shopping for our sli terials, it is best to keep utili most in_mind. It is_natur: attracted by various effective materi- als, designs and colors without in- quiring closely into their pfacticability. It should be remembered,in line this, that a poorly selected slip cover may only retain its attractiveness for a short time. Right now chintzes are popular, and deservedly so, though other ma- terials are as desirable. They have decorative value, freshness and gay- ety. Among chintzes one may find enough variety of design and color for all tastes. Taffeta is another excellent buy, i one sclects the kind that is not Stiff, loose-woven, or “pa- pery” in feel. Only soft woven taffeta is worth buying. stiffer grades are likely to split Of course every housewife knows of the possibilities for slipcovers among poplins, linens and cotton reps. If one” must be really economical, there is always the cotton goods coun- ter to turn to. Thereon we discover the many percales, ginghams, calicos, chambrays, prints and cretonnes. Among the cheaper fabrics, percale has an advantage in width of five in ches over gingham, and that five inches may have a vital significance “in the making.

They were getting very impatient. Then one of the properly dressed young bluebirds discovered an- other dish of water, Somehow it had been overlooked by the other birds of the Old Orchard. “Come on!” cried this little Bluebird to his brothers and sisters, “there’s a bath we can have all to ourselves. Hurry up before any body else finds it!"” This young Bluebird led the way and in a moment he was ducking and spattering and having a wonderful time.

She came flying over to the clothesline and sat beside him “Who is that taking a bath?" he de- manded. “I don't know,” she never saw him before."” For two or three days the Bluebird family remained right around Farmer Brown's dooryard.
