How to Max. a pivsn Comfortable.

Every one does not know that n
wide divan IL made more comfortable
by having at Its back two huge hard
pillows that will support the softer
ones. II is usual to heap up n great
variety OF these extra soft ones ON a
large divnn 80 that any one sitting or
reclining may arrange them according
to ones comfort These are needed, it
Is true, but they also need n support.
The wall Is usually too far back from
the front edge OF the divan TO serve.
The two large pillows made OF the ma.
terial which covers the divan arc not
only comfortable, but artistic. They
may he stuffed with excelsior into
coarse muslin or ticking, then covered
with the chosen fabdic. They look
better with n heavy cord around the
edging. lf the end or the dlvan is
against the wall as well as its side

added framework TO the little pillows.
