EYES FOR THE BLIND

The blind in Birmingham have their champions, Mrs. Mary H. Will lis and Mrs. Meyer, who are the eyes for the Birmingham Association for the Blind, wanted the world to know that the blind are not helpless.

 Eagerly the two ladies went forth, and ready to meet them were three men, Mir. Donald Conner, Mir. F. M. Jackson and Mrs. F. W. Blackford, who made possible the beautiful booth for the Blind association.
 The articles on display are use- full and beautiful. All are cordially invited to see this exhibit.
 Everything is ready for the open ing of the mammoth manufacturers and housewives exhibit.
 Mrs. J. H. Doughty, general chair man, has kept things moving and all the booths were disposed of early in the week. Some of the manufac- turers moved in yesterday and all will be settled comfortably by Mon day night, so the big doors will open on a beautiful vision Tuesday morn ing.

cotton may be tackled to the cushion by long stitches.
 You will need piece of cretonne, denim or material matching the liv- ing room draperies large enough to cover the chairs cushions. Also a hammer and some small Jacks. Draw the material smoothly over the cush- ions and tack it into place. Use only just enough very small tacks to hold it, for, after the cretonne is all in place. piece of plain braid or fold of the upholstery material and some tacks with covered heads to match either the braid or the ere tonne will finish the edges.
 If the cushions of the chair you wish to cover are finished with but tons usually the whole cushion Is removable. In recovering such a cushion, remove the buttons and have them recovered with the material you are using for the chair cover. Cut your new material the same size as the old. do your stitching on a sewing machine if possible, and fin- ish the work by replacing the newly covered buttons in exactly the same places they occupied on the original cover.
 These cushions are usually boxed: that is. the top and bottom pieces are joined by narrow strip that runs all round the cushion. In that case it makes a nice finish to run row of stitching around the edges after the cushion is all together. making a French seam on the outside. Heavy silk floss can be used for this and the stitches may be an inch long.
 It is more difficult to cover couch than a chair, and the best way is 10 put the new material on over the old. And pad for window seat is made almost in the same way as comfort with the possible exception of boxed edges, although this is not neees- sarN.

Couturiers have a way of intro ducing novelty to keep the fashion interest stimulated. They offer us a variety of line and fabric; then they give us complete surprise by the frock or wrap which is distin guished by it's novelty touch.
 The large illustration shows a wrap-around coat of silk crepe whose lines we met in the mode of earlier days. But the wrap boasts such de- lightfully different sleeves we are made to believe it is an entirely new design. The snug lines of the coat are splendid for the slender figure. The sleeves are long and loose, with their top inserts of heavy embroid- cred metal and color work. A touch of embroidery is seen on the small collar as well.
 Sweaters have gradually crept into the realm of semi dress. Now fash ion offers the newest model in a jacket of brushed wool to be slipped on over the silk blouse. With this charming deb" jacket one wears a
 cleverly combined and showing taffeta pompom of two shades of silk
 Coat suits are always delightful reminders that the warmer days have arrived. To lend variety to the box jacket-which women refuse to re- linquish even though the line had it's
 inception last season-designers have worked intricate designs over the surface of the matreial.
 The model illustrated is one of tho newest novelties for Madame's spring wardrobe The coat is loose and long. In it's novelty embroidered surface Is found it's markings of spring, 1923. The hat worn with this costume is semi-formal in keeping with the interesting coat trimming. Of plain lisiere straw, in medium size, it permits an uncurled ostrich feather to float gracefully from one side.
 Japanese printed silk is reSponsl- ble for the charming simplicity of the frock showing a double peplum. The lines are very simple, ruffles at sleeve ends and skirt showing the new tendency in trimming.
 When you step out of the gayer places this spring. you will find the maline chapeau in excellent style. It Is fashioned for evening wear at the restaurant. it's illusive folds tcrmi- naring at one side in transparent bow with streamers.
