FIXING OLD CHAIRS
HOUSEkEEPER GIVES POINTER
ON ECONOMY.
Declares Work is as Much Fun az Fit
ting a Dress, and Explains Meth
DDS Which She Found
Successful.

Recovering an upholstered chair
with pretty new material is as much
fun as fitting a dress" observed an
ingenious housekeeper. She speaks
from very recent experience. for che
has just finished recovering an entire
family suite.
MY furniture wasn't in bad con
dition," she ha3tened to say. 1T was
merely shabby. So l ripped the old
coTofs off and cut new ones by them.
Tapestry is remarkably cheap, I
found, and the clerks were very nice
about letting me lay my old covers on
the material to see Just how much I
wanted. One can't make odds and
ends of furniture tapestry up into
neckties, you see, so it is foolish 10
buy an inch more than one needs.
THE reason I had such success in
covering my set is that / was very
exact about the work, and lad all the
materials that / needed right at hand
before | started out. There were a
few hollow places in the upholstery,
where the filling had matted together
or sunk In, so had plenty of wadding
to fill them out. Then bought enough
cotton cloth to cover the old lining
before putting on my new tapestry
cover. Putting this on gave me expe-
rience so that | worked MITCH better
when | came to tack on the actual
outside cover. The wadding that I
used went between the old lining and
the new.
One could cover right over the cid
tapestry, and, in fact, I did one chair
that was still in good shape that way
l had some cheesecloth which pinned
over the chair very carefully. and then
cut out as pattern, allowing plenty
for turning in at the edges.
Cutting and lining the cover is the
disagreeable part &C the task. Actually
putting it on is slow work, but not at
all tiresome. The best way is to lay IL
in position on the seat OF the chair
and pin it firmly in place at the back
edge. Then stretch it as firmly as
you can and put in plenty of pins along
the front. Now pin the sides across,
working over it until eTery wrinkle
is removed
Il was very careful with my furni-
ture to have all the corners folded
alike. When the cover is pinaed as
smoothly as possible, cut along the
edge, leaving about an inch to turn
in, and use more pins to fold it in
with. If the material is not too rev
ely this turning in isn't necessary, be.
cause the guimpo will cover ii.

Alcohol for Oily skin.

An oily skin is one of the most hui
initiating thing one can have. 1t is
simply impossible for a girl to look
sweet and dainty when her skin is
oily. An oily skin seems to gather up
all the dust in the air, and for that
reason it is IN undesirable possession
il for no other reason. Then when
the nose becomes oily it shines like
beacon of light.
Wine the skin once or twice a day,
as the necessity arises with a little
diluted alcohol. BoraX also is excel
lent, although one should always be
careful not to use too much of this
A few drops of ammonia in the water
occasionally will help, but a pinch of
boraX added to the warm water is the,
better of the two.
After wiping the skin with the di-
luted alcohol powder it lightly but
thoroughly with a good and pure face
powder, and the skin will appear
much less oily.

Good Nature a Reautifier.

The junk is the distinctive type of Chinese
marine architecture, a somewhat unprogressive
science among the celestals. Even before the
Christian era John Chinaman voyaged from
port to port in vessels of this build and rig. The
sails are made of mating and reefed in
much the same way as a Venetian blind is
raised. The junk is built along the lines of an
oriental slipper with the curved keel for the
sole and the drop aft for the heel. The com
mon river boat or sampan is on the even more
familiar model of the inverted fiat iron. The
modern large junk is a good sea boat and will
