SUMMER SLIP COVERS.
Making Them at Home Saves Much
Financial Outlay.

Making Them at Home Saves Much
Financial Outlay.
This Is an excellent time to get the
summer slip covers made, for dress
making will probably be at its height
Just at the time they will be needed
Making slip covers at home is a most
economical procedure, for well made
slip covers are usually rather high
priced when ordered from a good up
holsterer. No special skill is required
for the making of such covers, but a
great deal of patience and care will be
essential. No sketchy fitting or sewing
may be tolerated and the finished effect
must be distinctly tailored. Choosing
slip covers is like choosing rugs or pic
tures-one makes selection for a life
time, so good material of substantial
weave andaattractive color should be
sought, and 1t will be wise to purchase
several yards more than the estimated
need, so that new chairs added to ones
collection later may be covered.
Linen in tan or striped green and
tan is delightfully."- cool for summer
slip covers and all edges should be
bound with green cotton braid which
m for the purpose. Plain tan lin
en- is liked best by some housekeepers.
In some rooms cretonne slip covers
will be charming. English drawing
rooms are almost invariably slip cov-
cred In flower chintz during the sum-
mer months, and the effect with light
muslin curtains and plenty of fresh
flowers about is delightful. A winter
bedroom done in pink may be changed
to blue or green in summer by fresh
slip covers, curtains and bed cover of
c%retonne.
Cut a pattern for every slip cover
first. For this pattern an old sheet or
strong wrapping paper may be used
and the tape measure should not be
spared, for guesswork is not to be
commended In making well tailored
slip covers for a formal room. Pin
the paper pattern over chair or lounge
just as the slip cover is to go, then
cut out your material. Snap fasteners
are better than buttons and button
holes, for they prevent gaping and sag
ging of the fabric. Make long bags
also for the portieres and snap fasten
them together at the top, between the
hooks of the portieres.

The active campaign to carry Cape
May County for suffrage, which is win
ming enthusiastic support, was greatly
aided this past week by the presence of
Miss Florence Leech, state organizer of
New Jersey. Miss Leech made her
headquarters at Wildwood and spoke
in, many of the surrounding towns.
The meetings were well attended and
showed q genuine interest In suffrage
among the people.
The suffrage section ofSea Isle City's
Old Home Week parade on Monday,
war very successful. Suffragists motor
ed in from Wildwood, Bridgeton, Stone
Harbor, Court House and Avalon to
take part, and were delightfully."- enter
tanned at luncheon by residents of Sea
Isle. Their long train of decorated cars
added much to the beauty of the pro-
cession.
One enthusiastic suffrage scrubbed a
garbage wagon and turned it into a
handsome suffrage float. Unable to
obtain any other vehicle on account of
the great demand, she borrowed this
garbage wagon and dauntlessly scrub
bed 1t herself. Moreover, che scrubbed
it clean. Suffragists arriving from
Wildwood found her decorating the re-
formed nuisance and came to her assist
ance. The visitors report that their
white skirts did not suffer, and predict
that ven garbage wagons will be toler-
able when women help with municipal
housekeeping.

missions in the first place. promised in quarters
and we have all been led to expect that the pruning shears
will be the chief implement employed by the legislators
during the brief period that they will be the guests Of the
Capital City.
While we hope all the good pledges will be carried out
and none other have been publicly madewe desire to
issue word Of caution to the plain people who sup
posed to govern Oregon not to build their hopes too high
Other legislatures have met with the best of intentions
apparently and gone away branded with the denuncia-
ton of the voters who sent them to the capital Always
the appropriations have been larger than at the preced

ers to pay when the work Of the session completed
This may happen again, or may be that new brand Of
legislators have been chosen who have thought but Of
the public welfare and who possess the constructive ab
