that a removable cover can be
made for it? B. a."
If you are prepared to make
many neatly fitted openings al
most any type of chair may be
slipcovered. Either bindings or
facings may be used to finish
edges where seat and back covers
are cut around arms and supports.
Where there are so many OPEN
ings of different lengths, snap fas-
teners are generally more satisfac-
tory than zippers. If snap fasten-
er tape is obtainable it saves time

Red Indians was hired to irnpart
local color. CONSERVATION pre-

the only language they could talk
