rooms into vertable flower gardens.
And the beauty of the gardens is that an
occasional Tubing brings them out as fresh
as growing flowers. a most serViceable
coverlet for a brass or iron bedstead is
made of denim by simply scallopng the
edges and binding them with silk or cotton
tape IN white, which is easily stitched on
by machine. \ long roll cover to match is
made in the same way. In some sleeping
rooms even the mattresses and pillows
themselves are inclosed in figured denim.
OF all methods of finishing denim edges
these large scallops bound with tape will
be found to be decidedly the simplest and
most effective. Plain strips or squares of
denim scalloped and bound with narrow
satin ribbon are wonderfully serviceable
FOR dressing table or stand coverings. Couch
pillows are inclosed In squares of Powered
denim with perhaps a back of plain col
cred cambria. The denim extends out be-
yond the pillow, forming a sort of rufffe
and has large or small scallops buttonholed
in crochet cotton or bound with white cot

also used to trim or finish denim coverings

at the bottom of the vessel; an egg from
three to five days old shows an elevation at
the fiat end. so that its long axis forms an
angle of 20 degrees, and an egg a month old
floats vertically upon the pointed end.
This test may be useful to housekeepers
IN the egg season.
