IF YOU have slip covers made
L. by an interior decorator and
you go in for such niceties as
slide fasteners or welted or piped
seams the bill goes up and up. If
you make the covers yourself all
these extras" amount to very
little either in time or money.
In fact slide fasteners require less
time than a closing with snaps.
Plan the closings for a slip
cover during the final fitting when
the seams have been basted but
not stitched. Sometimes one short
placket is all that is needed.
Again openings must be left at
several points so that the cover
will slip on easily.
To apply a slide fastener to a
seam placket, turn the slip cover
inside out and crease the seam
open. Cut a facing strip IA
inches wide and inch longer than
the opening. Join the facing strip
to the back edge of the opening
as shown at A. Slash the front of
the seam edge 81 inch above the
top of the opening and crease it
over the back facing as shown at
B. When the edges of the opening
have been prepared in this way,
press the edge creases with a hot
iron. Next, haste and stitch the
fastener in place as at c sewing
close to the metal. The ma
chine cording foot is useful for
this purpose. Do not trim away
the tape at the ends of the fasten-
err. Whip the upper ends down as

Leading Language

Including all of it's various dia-
lects, Chinese is spoken by the
greatest number of people. China
has population of about 100000
600.
Of the principal European
tongues, English has the most adj
herents. Approximately 100000
600 persons use that language,
while 1870, 100000 people speak Ger
man. Russian is next with
100,O00,000, followed by French,
Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.

Learners Are Doors

Many people fail because. they
pretend they can do the thing be-
fore them without having learned
how to do it. A great inventor
once made a mess of things when
he was expected to give a great
address to a large assembly. He
had never spoken publicly in his
life. Knowing the way to do
things is important. Learning to
play the piano is hard work, as is
learning to do anything that is
worth doing. The learners are the
greatest doors. And learning is
always costly. ~

Freshening Raisins. = Raisins
used in cakes, cookies and pud-

Flavoring Cocoa.-A pinch of
salt, a few drops of vanilla, or
dash of cinnamon or nutmeg add
flavor to cocoa.

Birth of the "Marseillaise"

There is a popular story that the
inspiring ''Marseillaise" was writ.
ten as the result of a burst Of pa.
triotism. Actually, the song seems
to have been written not at Mar
settles, but at Strasbourg as a result
of the mayor complaining that there
was no real marching song for the
troops. Rouget de Lisle composed
the words, but doubt exists as to the
composer of the music, says Pear
sons London Weekly. 1.-THE Mar.
seillaise" was first played at re.
view of the Garde Rationale on
April 20, 1892, and first achieved
fame when sung by the Republican
troops that assaulted the Tuileries q
few months later.

Too Busy for Honors

Once when a university wanted
to confer an honorary degree of
LID. upon Thomas A. Edison, the
savants had to carry on the cere-
mony by telephone. The inventor
was too busy with his experiments
to go to accept the honor. He was
glad when he could hang up the
receiver and get back to work.

ter he would divide with Granny,
and if Granny should catch Peter,
she would divide with Reddy. In
that way each felt sure Of two
chances for a rabbit dinner to one
chance for each of the others. If
Old Man Coyote saw that wink, he
didn't let them know it. He just
sat down and politely waited for
the others to decide which sides
they would watch. When at last
they had agreed, all four pretend
ed to give up the hunt for Peter
and started off as if they really
intended to leave Peter alone. !.
And all the time underneath the
big pile of brush poor Peter Rabbit
sat with his heart going pit-a-pat
listening with all his might to hear
what he could of Old Man Coyotes
dark plot. He couldn't hear it all,
but he heard just enough to make
him feel sure that when they pre-
tended to give up and 60 away they
really had done nothing Of the kind.
What should he do? What could he
do? How ever was he going to get
back to the dear, safe Old Briar
Patch?

OLD MAN COYOTES DARK PLOT

OF COURSE, you know what
- plot is. 1t is plan, secret
plan, usually. Sometimes a plot is
very, very nice, as when you plan
to give someone a very pleasant
surprise. But dark plot is plan
to bring trouble to someone. Reddy
and Granny Fox are great plotters,
and their plots are always dark. Old
Man Coyote is an even greater plot
ter, and his plots are just as dark.
Very sly and very crafty are Reddy
and Granny Fox, but just little
more sly and wee bit more crafty
is Old Man Coyote. That is one
reason Reddy and Granny are
afraid Of him.
So when he came out and told
them how foolish they were to quar-
rel with Redtail the Hawk over Pc
ter Rabbit, because as long as he
stayed under the big pile of brush
where he was hiding he was safe,
and how much better it would be il
all four of them agreed upon plan
which he had and which he was
sure would result in Peter being
caught by one of them, they looked
at him suspiciously. But Old Man
Coyotes tongue is very smooth,
very smooth. He said that he had
plan which would give each an
equal chance to catch Peter Rabbit
and which would surely give one of
them a good dinner. Reddy and
Granny and Redtail thought it over
a little while and then they agreed.
They themselves couldn't think of
any way by which they could reach
Peter, and they knew how very
smart and crafty Old Man Coyote is.
1t might be that he really had
plan worth trying.
Old Man Coyote turned his head
aside to hide grin as he pre-
pared to tell the others what his
plan was. 1T is very simple" said
he. There are four of us, and
there is only one pile of brush. I
will hide where I can watch one
side; Reddy Fox will hide where he
can watch another side; Granny
Fox will hide where she can watch
another side; and Redtail will watch
from a tree on the fourth side. All
we have to do is to be patient. Pc
ter will get hungry by and by.
'"There is nothing to eat under
that pile of brush, and after while
he will just have to come out. If
we all pretend that we have given
up trying to catch him and start off
just as if we were really going
away, he will think that we really
have gone. Then when he feels
quite sure that the way is clear he
will come out to try to get home
to the Old Briar Patch. He is just

by Mexico.
Authorities here frankly ad.
mitted Mexico's step had come as
a complete surprise-so much so
that when the first newspaper re.
ports were received in London
early this morning they were
greeted with polite incredulity.
But quizzical eyebrow-lifting
quickly turned to hot anger when
extracts from Cardenas' forceful
note terminating diplomatic re-
lations became known to officials.
TAINTED OVER OWN DEBT

powerful nations cannot boast
that they all pay their debts"
