and joined by narrow ribbons. The

trifle, and there is no hunting for the
right shade of ribbon or the implements
to use with it,
Pretty Book Covers.
\ pretty cover for Il book or maya
zine is always an acceptable small
gift and need never be an expensive
item.
First get stiff piece of cardboard
and cut it the exact size of the front
and back of the book it is intended for
not, OF course. including the back
piece which holds the pages together
You must now select Il material to
cover the cardboard with, and of
course any work in the shape of en-
broidery or painting must be done be-
fore the stuff IS stretched over the
cardboard. You have endless scope
for your decorative capabilities. When
linen is used conventional design
worked in fax thread is most effec-
tive; silk AID satin display embroidery
to perfection; figured materials can
have their patterns outlined in gold
or silver thread. and the covers do
luxe can be painted with delicate
sprays Of flowers or small fruit.
Cut the material nearly an inch
larger than the book when it is open
and in cutting allow for the back
piece. Now fold it over the cardboard
covers and stick down with glue or
photograph paste and remember to
nc III the material at intervals, as 1t
lies better if this is done.
When the covers are quite dry take
a piece of silk or sarcenet and sew 1t
carefully around the edges Of the
cover and where the cardboard ends
at the back piece stitch the sarcenet
right through very neatly to the outer
material You must now put a piece
Of ribbon to the top and bottom of
the back piece Ito tie through the mid.
die Of the book covered. and you can
edge all around with narrow silk cord

Pillow Cover.
The pillow cover in the illustration
has a design of nasturtiums in all their
exquisite natural shading and so should
only be attempted by skilled fingers.

weeks go by Orleans county feels certain
of leading Windham and Windsor in the

The lines are being well formed and wise
leadership is preparing for the final strug-

Those who have carefully watched the
development Of the governship campaign

In this connection 1t is worth noting that
many are looking for a new era Of devel-
