Old Raincoats.

Have You ever thought of a way TO
make use of old raincoats2 They make
splendid waterproof covers. and water
proof covers can be used for various pur-
poses. Such cover can usually be
made from the back breadth of the coat.
Cut the back breadth out from hem 10
neck and bind the piece thus cut with 7
bias fold or cape, and, behold. a very use
ful article is complete. A larger. though
less trim-looking. cover can be made by
cutting the bottom OF the coat on just
below the armholes-if one doesn't OBJ
jectNto the two seams. The buttons can
be clipped of and the strip Of button
holes disposed of. and the cover bound
as in the back breadth. Waterproof
covers are just the things for rainy
nights, when one wants the bedroom win
dows open. Place ''raincoat cover on
the windowsill. with the overhanging
edge protecting the wall paper beneath
the sill. and there will be no need to shut
out the fresh air on account of the rain.
4 laundress can use an old raincoat Ia
advantage for aprons, as the water can
not penetrate them.

THE CHARM OF SIMPLICITY.

4 simple. unaffected manner Is one of
the greatest charms OF a woman.
II being ones own true self were as
easy as II sounds. simplicity would be as
common as a right eye or left hand, but
the art OF being natural seems to be al
most forgotten by women today.
There is a tendency in all OF us, both
masculine and feminine, to copy someone
else in mannerism. I'm dress. and in ac-
ton. We are all born mimics. 1t is not
necessary to go to the theater to see a
correct Imitation OF the person.
This example we set up to follow is the
guiding star, the measure OF our very eX-
istcnce, so says a recent writer. II may
be a real parsonage. an acquaintance, a
friend, or someone we admire from a dis
tance II may be merely a creature OF
ina gina ton, a sort OF ideal entity we
throw on the canvas OF the minds eye
and then proceed TO copy. Other people
accuse us OF posing, Of afreCtation. and
guile. admiring or censuring according
to the nature OF the ideal.
The girl who thinks everything is "just
too sweet" or ''adorably lovely" or
perfectly maddening." and the rest OF
the girlish gush. is never so convincing
as her sister who uses one adjective that
rings true.
She uses the same phrases to describe
a visit to the soda fountain and a trip
TO Europe. In reality one doesn't mean
much more to her than the other. for in
almost every instance she is shallow.
\ reckless scattering OF superlatives is
4 way of cheapening the conversation
which no amount OF actual thought can
rectify.
To be natural AT all times is not easy.
but simplicity is charm which few men
or women can resist.

AN OLD PICTURE FRAME
AND A NEW TRAY

Don't despair because you cannot afford
one of those glass trays with a mahogany
or walnut rim-make one.
You will need an old-fashioned picture
frame. such as were in vogue a couple
of generations or so ago. 1t should be of
mahogany or walnut There are any
quantity of them in American garrets.
and il you haven't any in your own, a
friend will very likely be willing TO help
you out The shape of the frame may be
oval, oblong. or round. The oval and
round shapes are a trihe more artistic.
Proceed to put into the frame, just as
you would a picture. a piece of tapestry,
colored silk, crstonne. an old sampler, or
a piece specially embroidered for the
occasion in colored silks on a colored
background A white background would
clash with the dark wood of the frame
Then buy two perfectly plain brass or
copper handles at the hardware store
and fasten one at either end of the
frame. screwing them to the bottom with
tiny screws. Cover the ursightly back
by basting over It a sheet of dark green
felt. Some careful housewives put tiny
rubber feet" ON the tray after it is COW
cred with the felt to avoid the danger of
soiling the felt should the tray be left
standing in a wet place.

A Pretty Rnby Basket.

The ugly wire dish drainer and dainty
baby basket seem to have little in COM
mon on first thought But on second
thought-well. youN change your mind.
Cut a piece Of cardboard to fit the bot
tom of the basket and cover il with a
sheet OF cotton batting. Over this put
a cover of silkaline or silk in pink or
blue. still another cover Of white dotted
swiss or point desprit is put over this.
For the sides OF the basket. fun a mar
row strip. the width OF the baskets sides
to the cardboard bottom. Cut the lining
the size desired and cut swiss or point
d esprit strips Of the same size. Place
the point d'esprit over the lining strip
and shirr both together. The strip Is
then ready to fun on to the cardboard.
Then draw the strip thus shirred close to
the edge Of the basket and fasten TO the
top wire. ruffie for the outside Is
made with heading and Is very dainty
with a narrow lace whipped on TO the
edge A colored RUNE is placed under
the white ruffle and both are sewed to
the top wire. \ pfncushion of the same
material should he fastened in one end
and a small pocket at the other end. a
