TO COVER THE FURNITURE
cretonne Slips Are Among the Pref
tiest Things That Cam Be Used
for This Purpose.

Few women realize how pretty and
from cretonne and other figured
material, or more housewives would
make use of such slips in renovating
old and worn furniture. Incidentally,
these modern slips" can be made by
woman who has had any experience
in cutting patterns. 1 find that
models for chair covers, ETC., can be
best made by cutting a design from
three-cent cambria and fitting 1t
snugly with pins to the furniture.
When the exact dimensions of each
piece are complete in cambria these
trial slips" must be unpinned and
laid on the material from which the
slips" are to be constructed.
1t is not necessary to bind the
seams In these slips. Indeed. in a
figured fabric the effect of such seams,
is undesirable. On plain, dun-colored
fabrics life is introduced by the use
of red or blue braid on the seams.
With figured goods, French scanning
is best 1t makes a firm and neat
finish. and obviates the use of an
other color.
In slip covers the frame of the
furniture is hidden by the material.
They are precisely what they are
called, SLIPS" which easily can be
large enough to allow for shrinkage

DAMASK FOR SHAWL SCARFS
One of the Prettiest and Most Sensible
Of the Present Seasons
Fashions.

Silk damasks are used In the fash
foning Of the broad shawl scarfs that
are fashionable. They have the air
OF having once covered sofas and
chairs Of the grand monarch period.
These scarfs are so ample that
when wound about the figure they are
as warm as coat. The colors are ex-
quisite. A blurred design in Japanese
red, which has all the romance of the
east in 1t, is most effective. A mel
low thistle blue shade and a peculiar
green that is named after the Nile, yet
which makes the old-fashioned Nile
green seem inspired. is used with ex-
cellent effect.
These are often bordered with mara
bou and are often thrown over the
shoulders with the defiant abandon of
the Spaniard's cloak.

the various Indian tribes, were of in

which was the opening wedge to all

journey, and the return to the original
starting point, have never been ade-

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE
Educational Posters by the Thousand
to Be Displayed All Over
United States.

During the next three months, the
bill boards of the United States will
display 10000 educational posters on
tuberculosis, according to an an
nouncement made by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis.
This will conclude the campaign be-
gun a year ago, when the National
Bill Posters association donated free
space to the tuberculosis cause, the
Poster Printers association offered
free printing, and nine paper manu-
facturers gave the paper for the post
ers. The combined value of these sew
eral donations for this three-month
campaign is nearly 100000.
The posters are in six different de-
signs and are all printed in three col
ors. They are seven feet wide and
nine feet high. Already nearly $500
of these posters have been hung on
the bill boards of 46 different cities,
and it is planned to distribute 10000
more before April in over 400 towns
and cities. ANY anti-tuberculosis So
ciety IN the U6sed States may re-
ceive free of charge, except for trans
portatfon, as many Of these posters as
can be hung on the boards in it's ter
ritory. The National association with
the tuberculosis committee Of the Ma,
tional Billposters and Distributors are
conducting the campaign.
The posters show in graphic form
how fresh air, good food, and rest
cure tuberculosis; how bad air, over
work and closed windows lead to con-
sumption; and how the careless con-
menaces the health of his
family by splitting on the floor.

A bit Of real lace gives a touch of
richness to a costume that cannot be
gained in any other way, and many
of these held first rank. Duchess,
Point, Rosaline and the fascinating
Carrick ma Cross gladdened the eye.
But the girl who Is handy with the
needle can do wonders in the way of
initiating these imported novelties
with small lengths of laces picked up
at odd times in her shopping expedi-
lions. These can be deity plated or
draped, or whipped around strip of
hand embroidery to form a dainty bit
Of neckwear. Almost any sort of lace
Is used this season from fine mesh to

Boston.-The tomb of Mrs. Mary

and night, to protect it from possible
vandals, by four armed guards Sc
iected BY the directors of the Chris
tan Science church in Boston. Inc
guards are members OF the Christian
Science church and are known to be
of entirely trustworthy character.
Certain members of the First Church
of Christ Scientist of New York city
have protested against the mainten-
ance of an armed guard, but this Is
being ignored. The protest sets forth
that the action of the directors Is
comparable to that of the authorities
of Jerusalem, who set guard at the
tomb of Jesus Christ. They contend
that the placing of an armed guard
shows lack of faith
The guards work in pairs with two
shifts of II hours each. 1t has been
generally understood that they live
while on duty shut up in the tomb.
This is not necessary If they do not
desire to do SO. If the weather per-
mits and they prefer it the guards
remain outside the tomb near enough
to keep it in plain view.
Neither do the men take any meals
In the tomb unless they desire to do

severe the guards carry their lunch

The men sleep at their homes, where
they have at least two meals each IL
