that he was in favor of tariff revision

DIvAN CUSHIONS OF SILK.
Colored Silk Covers Should Harmon
ize with Paper and Hanglngs-

The more pillows and cushions on
lounge or sofa the more comfort
able and cosy It will be. There should
be large, downy pillows and small,
downy cushions to fill in between all
the hollow places, and there should be
bright colored silk covers that tone
in well with the paper and hangings
of the room, and there must be dainty
white covers that can be taken off
easily and kept always in their pris-
tine freshness.
For the large pillows there are most
attractive wide handkerchief squares
in silk and crepe, in green Japanese
designs and colorings. These make
most effective covers and are not at
all expensive just now At this time
of year it is possible to pick up all
sorts of attractive squares of silk
and brocade that are excellent for a
lounge pillow.
For the little baby pillow, without
which no sofa, divan, lounge or bed is
complete, filet lace, combined with
fine embroidered handkerchief linen, is
at present the style of cover most in
favor These covers are extremely
easy to make, for the open English
embroidery is not tedious work and
squares of filet can be fitted in
wherever they go best with the pat
tern. Over slip cover of pale blue,
pink or green silk the English en-
broidery and the filet lace both show
up charmingly.
| An entire cover of filet is also ef-
fective and the simplest thing in the
world to manufacture. A fairly good
piece of imitation should be selected,
and of distinct design If economy
must be practiced one side only of the
cover need be of the filet and the 9TH
er of filet net, an edging of cluny
lace being placed over the joining.
Cluny lace is particularly effective in
combination with filet
II dipped first in fairly strong So
luton of tea leaves the crude white
of imitation filet will disappear and
the lace take on much nicer tone 1t
is best to experiment first with a tiny
sample of the lace, so as to get just
the shade of ecru desired
