you would the slip cover and meas
uring the shrinkage."
Facts about color fastnesS may be
printed on the Selvage, too. If the
material is guaranteed sunfast and
washfast, you can be reasonably
sure it won't fade a great deal un-
der ordinary conditions. Labels that
specify a vat dye are as good as
saying the color is fast. These dyes
are some of the best because they
are developed right on the fiber and
the color becomes part of the fiber.
The bulletin also gives few good
rules for design. You can use
plain materials on any piece of
furniture, but they are especially
good on large pieces and in rooms
where there already is quite a bit
of pattern in the curtains. the rugs,
or in the wall paper. If you are
making a slip cover for the first
time it's easier to start with plain
material. Seam lines and fittings
show up more clearly, but you
don't have to worry about spacing
designs or matching patterns.
Get a slip cover material that
repeats one or more of the colors
of the other furnishings in the
room. For example, you might
choose a plain material that picks
up one of the less prominent colors
in the rug. Trimming for the
cover might pick up another color.
Or, if you choose a material with a
design, you could get one that
combines plain colors used in the
room furnishings"
If you are attempting slip covers
for the first time, try the simplest
ones first. 1t does take time. so
plan it when you will not be rushed.
1t also takes patience, so start in
the morning before the rush of
the day makes you short on that
commodity, and I think you will find
that the results are very satisfactory.

Manners
of the
Moment

Some people seem to have feel
ing that candy brought to them as
a gift should never be opened in
front of the giver. I don't know
how this feeling ever originated, un-
less perhaps it is the result of some
unpleasant experience at Christmas
or on birthdays 1t may be that
these people once had to open
auntie's present in front of auntie
and found it agony to say, How
lovely"
If that is behind it, it's not easy
to be harsh with non-openers of
gift candy. And yet their behavior
is really very unkind and I think
they should know it.
Usually the person who has
brought you candy is a person who
is very fond of candy. And if he is,
he has no doubt picked his favorite
brand to present to you. Obviously,
then, it is sheer cruelty to leave the
box unopened during his entire call.
OF course. the giver of candy
shouldn't be allowed to eat up the
whole boxful. But the chances are
that if he is polite enough to bring
the gift he will be polite enough
to leave you part of it. And you
certainly should be polite enough
to give him the chance. JEAN.

Against
Fears
Frightening Babies
Needlessly May
Do Real Harm
BY Letfice Lee Street,

1t seems impossible that the tiny
new baby, blissfully asleep and
snugly wrapped in his dainty blan-
ket, could know any fear. But he
was born with one dread-the sem
sation of falling.
This infantile sense of insecurity
is the basis of many fears that arise
to haunt the mind of the youngster
as he grows from babyhood to child
hood.
All children experience numerous
qualms as their development pro-
crosses, and gentle, observing, un-
derstanding parents can do much to
dispel them. Children absorb the
atmosphere around them; there
fore, it behooves the parents or
nurse to examine their own phobias
to make sure that their attitude is
not the cause of fear fancy
their child has developed.
For example, an anxious mother
who looks with wild eyes up and
down the street before crossing, can
breed terror in her childs heart for
automobiles, people, animals or even
of leaving the house. Daily life is
fraught with possible physical dan
gers, but the proper outlook is one
of caution, not of dread.
Nurses who frighten the children
in their charge into obedience by
threats of the bogey man, the po-
liceman, and so on, are cowardly
and wicked characters. 1t is easy
to discipline a little child in this
manner and also a sure method of
running the child's confidence.
We saw jolly 2-year-old baby
reach out welcoming hands toward
a cocker spaniel puppy. The baby
crowed with delight when the puppy
snuggled against him. But his young
mother, with shrill cry, dashed
across the room to the romping pair
and jerked the puppy away.
The little dog cringed with terror
at the sudden attack and the baby's
smiling eyes widened with panic and
he cried Justify. The mother ex-
planned to onlookers that there were
germs on the puppy's coat. Granted,
of course, just as there are germs
everywhere, including those on her
baby. This mother probably estab-
lished a lamentable dread of ami
mails in her little sons mind.
Many times child will suffer for
weeks from a secret apprehension.
Seek the cause and try to bring it
out into the open. If you will listen
with serious interest to the recita-
ton of his worry he will feel conf
dence in you.
In a quiet voice discuss his prob
lem with him, try to make him
laugh, If you can, at what frightens
him. Gayety dispels fear.
But to ridicule or shame any one
is cruel, and to do so to a little
child is criminal. Children who are
called sissies and towards will brooc
upon what they have been made to
believe is something evil within
themselves. The small perturbation
can become a stubborn phobia.
A. feeling of happy security drives
away childhood breads, and this is
fos5ered by loving, sympathetic care;
by praise for the accomplishment OF
small featS that seem tremendously
big to the baby. The babyish prob
lens your child brings to you may
seem silly, but in truth they are no
at all; they are very serious and i'm.
portant. The future poise, conf
dence and bravery of our babies de.
pends upon our ability to recognize
their timidity. Seek its true cause
and use devoted, patient efforts tc
erase them.

meat for boning. This is meat from
lambs that have been fattened in
feed lots since they were taken of
the range last fall Smaller spring
lamb, which is just putting in an
appearance on this years market,
ordinarily is not boned-except per-
haps the shoulder for a roast.
Lamb may be boned easily at
home or at the meat counter" ac-
cording to K. F. Warner, animal
husbandman of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
homemaker who is familiar with
boning methods can direct the re-
taller to bone the meat exactly as
she wants it. Or, with a little
patience and a sharp knife, she can
do the trick herself"
Cuts of lamb that may be boned
to advantage are shoulder, breast,
loin and leg.
Shoulder is one of the most eco
nomical cuts of lamb 1t may be
boned in several ways, but the most
attractive and easiest to stuff is the
cushion" style shoulder. Here, in
brief, is Mr.. Warmers method of
boning shoulder cushion style.
Lay the shoulder fat side down,
rib side up Slip the knife under
the edge of the ribs and follow along
under the neckbone. Gradually free
these bones from the meat and peel
them off-leaving as little meat as
possible on the bones. Then go in
after the shoulder blade. Follow
the blade bone in with the knife,
and lay the meat back from the
L-shaped combined blade and arm
bone. Loosen the meat from both
sides of the arm and blade bone
and take these bones out. If you do
this carefully, you'll open the roast
on only two of its four sides. Stuff
the roast or not as you like, then
sew it up and you have a cushion
shoulder ready for the oven."
Breast is one of the most mex
pensive cuts of the whole lamb
And it, like every bit of lamb meat
is tender enough to roast. The
breast may be boned by slipping
the knife between the meat and
ribs-then taking off both the ribs
and the breast bone in single
sheet. Then fold the meat from the
foreleg in and roll the whole breast
tightly from front to back.
Or, an easier way to prepare the
lamb breast for roasting, is to crack
the bones of the breast so it will be
easy to carve between the ribs, Cut
off the foreshank and grind the
meat from it for stuffing. Make
a pocket in the breast by cutting the
flesh free close to the ribs. Put

for laundering and the spread ano
draperies may be washed and lroned
innumerable times and still retain
their shape and color. Chairs that
are out of style or have badly de-
signed features often may be COM
pletely disguised with slip covers.
They may be used to protect delicate
upholstery and prolong its useful
ness. or be used both summer and
winter instead of upholstery.
Many materials are useful for
slip covers, but one OF the best Is
cotton. Vast strides in improving
the fabric by controlled shrinkage,
color permanence and crease-re-
sistance, as we'll as the beauty OF
design possible at low price, make
cotton an ideal slip cover fabric
1t also launders well and may be
washed and ironed by the usual
home methods.
A few practical tips about ma
terials are contained in the bulletin
mentioned above:
Some of the most practical ma
terials for slip covers are cretonne
crash, plain or striped denim, gala
tea, rep, lightweight tapestries
French ticking, drapery sateen and
damask. You may use lighter fab
RIGS, such as gingham, chintz and
percale, but these usually are only
36 inches wide and may not cut to
as good an advantage as wider
materials. They also wrinkle more
easily than heavier cottonS. The
first thing to look for is firm, close
weave. Such a fabric will keep
its shape, tailor well, be easy to
work with and keep the dust from
sitting through onto the furniture
underneath"
The bulletin continues, Next
look for facts about shrinkage. You
want to be sure that you can wash
the cover over and over. Look on
the selvage for shrinkage facts. II
1t is marked residual shrinkage
of not more than l per cent you
can be pretty sure washing will
not alter the fit of the cover made
from it. If the material is not
marked, and many very good ones
are not, you may play safe by buy
