TO COVER AN UMBRELLA.

There is a method in the madness of
umbrella makers charges for covering an
old umbrella frame. The maker may
discourse wisely on the value of a well
and perfectly made frame, which may be
'covered again and again." but when
that frame is offered for covering it is
soon found that it costs as much as the
umbrella did originally, and the worn out
economist soon finds she must buy new
one, and throw aside for ''sake of the
trade" the cherished frame and hand
some stick. 1t is so easy a matter to
cover an umbrella that many ladies now
do it with perfect ease. Measure the size
of the umbrella to find the width of silk
required, twenty-six umbrella requiring
goods that width, twenty-four inch
goods twenty-four inches, and so on.
Measure the circumference of the parasol
and allow a few inches over half the
length of material the circumference
measures. Now remove the cover care
fully. 1t is we'll at first to take off only
one gore. Use this for pattern, and
cut the required number of cores from it.
Hem them and sew them in bag seam
with machine with very elastic chain
stitch. A machine which makes firm
stitch, however suitable for other work,
is not as good for this purpose. Any
chain-stitch machine will do. The cover
must be fastened on the wrong side at
the top; then drawn down and sewn in
place. Examine an old parasol or um-
brella to see how to do this, and you may
enjoy new umbrella at small cost.
Cut across the goods, using the selvidges
alternately.-Nep York Tribune.
