BOOK COVER ART.
Women Now Make n Specially of
These Designs.

women Now Make u Specldity VI
These Designs.
The designing of book covers is In itself
a far more serious art than is commonly
imagined. So extended is the scope O. such
work that a more or less regularly estab-
lished profession of such workers, large
number OF whom are women, has grown up
in inerica during the past few years. An
important contribution of this work has
been made by Miss Sarah MacConnell, of
New York, who holds in this art much the
same position that Ethel Reed holds in
the developing OF poster designing.
Miss MacConnell's work has received
honorable mention in the interna tional
contest held recently by the Studio in
London, and she has carried off several
first prizes in competition by the best
publishing houses. Her work has en-
riched the volumes of many of the stand
ard authors for years.
Miss MacConneli's work bears evil
dence of great care in execution. 1t is
highly decorative The designing of
single cover IL often for her the work
of weeks or months of the closest appli-
cation. The book must first be read
with the q eatest care, and often se,.ral
readings are necessary before she is
convinced that she has caught the exact
feeling or sentiment to be expressed.

HOW ~ Dress sboe Leather.

Shoe leather may be dressed with vaseiine
or giycer.ne. This is especially good u. 1T
ment for leather that has become stiff
through being wet When shoes are wet
before putting them away to dry they
should be filled with paper. The paper abb
serbs the moisture and renders the shoes
softer than they would otherwise be.
