To Cover Furniture.

An original idea for covering furni-
ture has been tried and proved sue
cessful by a woman who wished to
have some unsightly chairs in her fur
nished fiat improved. She bought a
lot of Roman blankets, with wide
dark blue and red stripes, and had an
upholsterer cover her sofa and chairs
with them, just as though he were
using tapestry or velour. These looked
SO well that she has her bedroom
chairs also covered with blankets,
having alternate pink and floral
stripes. She has had portieres and
inside curtains made of blankets
matching those on the chairs, and the
effect is really charming, and, as the
blankets are very cheap, they cost
much less than one would suppose.
She says that everything depends
upon the color of the blankets chosen.
OF course, very pronounced stripes
would be ugly upon furniture, but the
more subdued or delicate colors give
most satisfactory appearance to a
room. Here is an opportunity for the
amateur upholsterer to try her hand.
