wear along the seams at the SIDE and
lower edge This is said to be be-
cause when making the seams tn ma
terial becomes drawn a little and the
the constant ironing fiat causes the
little Sits that make their appearance
along the seams. When these breaks
are many, then the better and quicker
plan is to cut Off the seams and make
new ones. This will make the slip a
little smaller, of course, but only an
inch or so. and this difference Is, per-
haps. to be preferred TO patched pill
low slips. When there are signs of
breaking at the hem, it is a good plan
to sew a strip of bias tape on the I'M
der side, stitching one edge to the
hem and the other on the single thick
ness. One should not wait until there
is an actual slit.
Sheets may be darned for some time
and. when worn thin in the middle.
the well known plan of turning the
Sides 10 the middle Is resorted to. The
old fashioned over scanning Is improv-
ed upon by laying fiat seam, one
sewage slightly over the other. and
sewing down by machine. This is
smoother and does not draw like the
oVerhanded seam.

There are fashions in sofa pillows
as in more important furnishings, and
the shapes as we'll as materials used
for summer cushions differ from these
chosen for winter comfort
This season the oblong shape seems
to be preferred to any other. probably
because 1t is the most convenient and
practical for resting the body when
seated In boat or hammock or for
general lounging out of doors. These
oblong pillows can be had in all sizes,
from that little more than a fiattened
roll for supporting the neck to the.
bed pollow size. The latter is a very
luxurious addition to the hammock,
and Is also used for resting the head
and shoulders when lying on the grass.
The strong piece of strapping sewed at
one corner of the smaller cushions
and a loop handle In the middle of
/ one of the long sides Of a large pill
low provide convenient means Of
carrying those comforts from place to
place.
The square shape is still used. and
the heart shape is seen not only as
furnishing for the baby carriage but
also on verandas in the big rocking
chairs. where larger square or obs
+ long cushion might be uncomfortable.
/ The heart shape set at the top OF the
chair is a great aid toward resting
the head, few chairs being sufficiently
high in the back to do this, so that
the little wedge-like pillow comes In
very nicely there
( The materials used for covering
summer cushions are not expensive,
for they are expected to give hard
wear. and are apt to be subjected to
all kinds OF weather but the lack of
money expenditure is made up in the
artistic effects displayed
! Such fabrics as denim. monks cloth
burlap. craftsman's canvas. cretonne
Bingham and linen are used. not for
getting the plebeian turkey red. Some
T very pretty pillows are made of the
red twin. combined with red and
white gingham In large check. The
centers are of the latter. cut into
/ square tabs on the outer edge and
lai don the plain turkey red, form

not soil easily, the covers keep fresh

Now that the coffee percolators are
almost universally in use. those pos
sessing them may like to know what
an authority on these excellent cof-
fee pots has to say about Keeping
them clean. He says AT least once
a week unscrew the valve seat on
the end of the tube and clean the
valve and its chamber. A brush comes
with each pot with which to clean the
round hole in the bottom of the pot
and also to clean the tube. Use hot
water soapsuds for washing the in
side of the pot and rinse in clear hot
water. Alkalies should never be used,

Speaking to an authority on cats, !
learned that these animals can be
taught to eat green vegetables. My
own eats and enjoys asparagus and
Caulifiower. Potatoes are not good
for them. Other articles of diet not
gnerally believed to be good are
peaches and little grated cocoanut.
The milk given to cats should be boil
ed and cooled. Either dilute with wa
ter or give plenty of fresh water daily.
To do both will not harm. Cats also
require green grass to keep them in
good condition.
