MEMO" BOOK COVERS
SUGGESTIONS FOR BINDINGS OF
THESE USEFUL LISTS.
How Engagements, Shopping, Tele-
phone Numbers and Stamps May
Be Fixed Up Attractively for
Yourself or to Give Away.

The true woman likes pretty cover
for a useful article. Well, here are
suggestions for four little books that
will remember for you your engage
ments, your telephone numbers, your
shopping lists, and the last will keep
your stamps in an easy place. You
can buy little books with plain backs
of linen or leather, or you can make
the bindings of silk, linen, denim or
suede Indeed, this art of making and
decorating little cases and memoranda
is a profitable one from the esthettic
point of view, If you enjoy beautiful
things, and from the practical value,
If you wish to make neat little profit
by selling them to your friends.
For the numbers of telephones the
little suggestion in solid black and
white is given. It is very effective on
gray linen or on tan or gray card
beard In the former case you can
cover plain book purchased at a sta
toners or made by you with thin
cloth.
Use the following paste when apply
ing cloth to pasteboard:
One cup of whole wheat flour, one
cup of cold water, add two cups of
boiling water and boil five minutes;
then add one teaspoonful of powdered
alum dissolved in water; place the
mixture in an uncovered jar after
straining through cheesecloth.

HINTS FOR BABY'S BATH
Pine Kitchen Table With sawed-Off
Legs Makes Very Convenient
Platform for the Tub.

Buy Just an ordinary pine kitchen
table fitted with substantial legs and
spacious drawer. The second size
should be chosen for our purpose.
A carpenter will readily saw off the
legs to a height of IL inches, for the
table is to serve as a platform to ele-
vate the bathtub, when placed upon
Its top, to just an easy, comfortable
height for the mother, when seated in
a chair, to manipulate the baby with
out stopping, lifting or strain.
In the drawer should be q center
place for washrags, while the side
spaces may be subdivided into several
compartments.
These may contain powder boxes
and bags, and any other things III
baby's toilet.
These spaces provided and the table
cut down to the proper height, the
whole Is in readiness to receive the
establishment of paint
A coat of ordinary white paint
should be applied first, followed with
one of enamel. This last will bear
many washings off and much wear
without showing DETACHMENT
