fashioned wooden bedsteads which are
banished to the attic aad never used.

mer.
The headboard will furnish material
for the back. There are plenty of
Stats to make the seat and side rails
and footboard, provide for the arms
and all other pieces needed. BY look
ing at swing already made one can
readily see how to fit the pieces to-
gether.
Chains or rope for hanging and the
irons to fasten them to the posts may
be bought at the hardware store.
A few yards Of cretonne for cush-
ions and a small can of paint or var
nish stain for the Stats, and you have
good swing at very small cost.

dread to wash them, but there is no
need of fear if they are washed in the
usual way for f1annels, which means
lukewarm water and wool soap, rinsed
as usual, spread out in their original
shape on Turkish towel, wrapped up
and left in a warm place. When the
