There is talk about pensions which reflects
upon the old soldiers. For our own part, we
thlnk all the needy soldiers who did their
part in the war, deserve pensions, and we
would accuse none OF drawing pension un-
worthy. In few years the old veterans
will have gone to their reward, and We need
not begrudge them a little pittance In their
old age and poverty.

Linen Coach
Covers

n1 OST useful coach covers
nv are those of white linen
1 i or pique embroidered
with heavy linen floss. They
have the double advantage OF
being all white. and therefore
able to Withstand the strength
OF summer suns. while any
amount of washing will not
mar their beauty.
The floss may be used not
only to embroider buttonhole
stitch around the edge Of the
cover. but 1t may also be used
to mark the center with a dec
orative monogram. If the pros
pect Of so much buttonholing
seems arduous, the cover may
be hemmed and the stitches
covered by a line of feather or
rope stitching done in the floss.
Such covers as this need not
necessarily be reserved for
summer days. for in winter
they may always be supple
mented by a knitted afghan. it
self not sufficiently ornate to
form the outer covering. The
white covers are inexpensive
and wear long time, and,
when a bit of color is desired.
a large ribbon bow may be
tackled to one of the corners.
Hand embroidery Is not the
only possible decoration either.
for q wide ruffle of cluny or
baby Irish lace makes the rich
est cover imaginable. and even
the most fastidious baby would
be satisfied to be covered by
such a robe.
