FIRST TEST THE CRETONNE
Cheaper Grade Not Always a Good investment-Makes Excellent
 Furniture Cover.

A cheap cretonne is not always a good investment, as it often becomes thin after few weeks wear and looks more like coarse muslin than good cretonne, so before investing in low priced material it should be tested. To do this take a small piece and rub 1t thoroughly as if washing. If the threads separate and 1t becomes thin, 1t will wear badly, and Is not really economical, no matter how cheap the price, but If it passes this ordeal it will probably last as long and wear as well as much higher-prieed one.
 A cretonne with a dark background is far more serviceable than one of lighter coloring, and need not make the room appear dark If some cheer- full tones are introduced into the floral design.
 To cover furniture is not really such a difficult task as many would imag- inc, provided a reliable pattern can be obtained, and it is first carefully pinned to the sofa or chair and fitted so that any parts which are too large or too small can be altered and ar ranged. Cretonne is generally 30 inches wide, and a full-sized sofa re- quires six years.
 When cutting the cover for the sofa the pieces for covering the arms must be laid, before cutting, with their right sides together, or when cut it may be f0und that they are hoth for the right or left, and this would involve an enor- nous waste of material. Also the pat tern should be planned in such a way that the design will run up the seat

Density of Population.

By density of population is meant the number of persons to each square mile of land area Excluding the Dis trict of Columbia, Rhode Island, with 508.5 persons per square mile, is the most densely populated state in the Union, closely followed by Massachu- sets, New Jersey and Connecticut, in the order named, the only states which have more than two hundred persons per square mile.

tion of white and color For in- stance, if the baby is boy the knit ting and silk flap might be white and the ribbons blue. The embroidery could be forget-me-nots, or the entire bonnet, with the exception of the lace frill and the ruching, which would be white. of course, might be blue. In that case pink rosebuds would be more effective than forget-me-nots upon a blue background.

Wide Braid Belts.

Wide silk braid is much used in the new models of walking suits. Some times it forms pockets, sometimes it is used to band a long tunic. sometimes 1t is used as a belt, run through straps of the fabric of the frock it adorns. Needless to say, the braid belt is loose and placed low at the hips.

Michigan Star Enters
Pennsylvania Relays

PHILADELPHIA, April 2.-Howard
P. Drew and Fred w. Kelly. of the
University Of Southern California. are
due to arrive in this city tomorrow SO
as to indulge in little preliminary
work before taking part in the special
events at the relay meet Of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, on Friday and
Saturday next.
Drew is the>ioint holder of the record
of nine and three-fifths seconds for 100
yards. while Kelly, in addition to his
honors as Olympic hurdle champion.
holds the worlds record OF fifteen sec
onds for the l20 high hurdles. Reports
from the Pacific coast credit both Drew
and Kelly with being in form and both
are expected to win next Saturday.
The best of the sprinters of the East
and middle West have entered against
Drew. the latest to send in his name
for the 100 being Robinson, the for
mer Mercersburg boy, who now Is n
student at Michigan. In his schoolboy
days a record of twenty and four-fifths
seconds for 228 yards was claimed for
Robinson. and though it was not al
lowed there Is every reason to believe
that with probable improvements he
will be worthy competitor for Drew.
