MAKES DAINTY CHAIR COVER
Pretty and Exceedingly Useful ArtI-
Gle Requires but Short Time
to Fashion.

There seems to be a revival In the
fashion of what In the old days was
called the antirfacassar. and dainty
cover of this kind for the back of an
arm chair makes very pretty addi-
tion to 1t and serves the purpose Of
protecting that portion of the chair
which usually needs 1t most, and in
the case of an old chair 1t hides that
part which has probably become most
shabby.
We give therefore sketch Of a
very dainty cover carried out in rib
bon and lace, and 1t is also one that
