COVER FOR BIBLE.-Mrs. J. T. C., with kindly APP
prevail of this department asks question which IS
out OF its range out whch " m EcT Sb s wants.
to know how to cover her handsome family Bible so
that it will be protected from the dust and at the
same time he slightly. No covering can be knitted
or crocheted; the only proper cover is one of dark
| blue or maroon velvet. The velvet must be IN one
| piece and must turn in about half inch top and
bottom. When laid smoothly around the book each
side of the velvet must be turned beneath the cover
about two inches Tack with sewing silk to match
the top and bottom of these laps to tie outside OF
The cover. This, 1t will be seen, makes sort OF
long pocket, INTO which the lid of the book slips.

who gave the directions for the Roman Afghan tell
me If by plain knitting she meant TO KNIT II garter
stltcP-that IS, just back and forth plain II seems
to me that knitted IN that way it would stretch
great deal in length. viii she please let me know

cheted IN Afghan stitchP l am anxious to COM
mence one"
MISUNDERSTANDING F. p. w. is puzzled with
the lace by A. A. H., printed April L Slip aud
bind i'll 9Th row means the same as least off,"
Knit stitches with the left needle throw the first
over the second. This Is one stitch cast OF. Knit
the next stItch throw the one left on the right
needle over this. Two stitches have now been cast
off. Cast off two more i'll the same way. The loop
left on the right needle will he the fifth stltch OF
the pattern. The term heading" Is eX-
planned at the beginning Of the SEVENTH row;
and includes four stitches. THE WOmaI's Extra
is published at the office of ! HE TRIBUNE. The
knitting department is always glad to get new ana
handsome patterns. IA cnrresponde4t asks
for herrlng-bone stitch in KNITTING. Cast ON
any number of threcs with one stitch on
each side, which is always knitted plaln,
for edge stitches. Knit the rest rs follows: Slip !.
purl together, make one; repeat from =. Every
row Is the same.-A New Reader would like NJ. F.
b. to tell her what sized needle sac uses l,r
her Infants Shirt. THE Knitted j. ckct for ln-
FAINT" might. with httle ingenuity. be turned into
a sacque by emitting the lace round the bottom,
picking up the stitches aud working down ward;
but 1t would probably he found easier TO work
regular pattern like the one III star stitch crochet
recently given.
