*fdDrlc, GOOD tabrlc cement or glue,
coarse and fine sandpaper, a good
straight edge and ruler and a small
photo roller. Simple lines and sur
faces are a must" for best results
with this finish, SO plan to cut frills
to the bone. Such things as shaped
panels or grilles must be treated by
some other method as they are diff
cult to cover neatly--so unless you
wish to lacquer these it would be
best to fill in the opening with a
plywood panel which may be neatly
covered. The whole surface of the
furniture must be thoroughly sanded
with coarse sandpaper so that the
fabric will adhere perfectly. Any
oil, wax, gloss of paint or varnish
will prevent this, and any dent, scar
or bump will show very plainly, so
to avoid disappointment prepare the
under surface carefully.
Plan your procedure for covering
so that all seams may be concealed.
On chest of drawers make a paper
pattern for the sides first. Garry the
pattern from the back, across the
panel and turn it in where the
drawers are inserted in the front.
This will give a smooth corner which
will wear we'll. Lay the paper pat
tern on the fabric, cut it out care
fully. With a wide brush lay the
cement over the whole under side of
the material as quickly as possible
and glue it into place Immediately.
Pull the fabric into perfect align
ment, snip darts for corners so that
they are smooth and neat and pat
the whole surface into place with
clean, soft cloth. Be especially
careful to watch for smooth tight
edges on the inside where the draw
ers will run. When it is all trimmed
and neat use the roller over the
whole surface to be sure that every
point is adhered Then you are
ready for the other side, the front
runners between the drawers, and
last of all, the top.
1t is best to end the fabric at the
edges of the drawers, rather than
turn the corners over the edge. Trim
with a narrow, half-round molding
about 3s-inch wide to finish the
edge of the drawers and keep the
fabric from pulling up as the draw
ers are opened and closed. This
may be lacquered to match or con-
trast the fabric color. With the
addition of smart modern drawer
pulls or painted wood scrolls the
plain surfaces may be broken with
interesting detail All edges which
might fray or wear may be pro-
tected by two coats of white shellac
or lacquer.
Burlap makes an interesting, hard
wearing covering, and if painted
over the fabric looks like the expen-
Sive custom m-upholstered furniture
done by the best decorators, where
furniture is planned to blend with
wall covering and drapery fabric.
Smart youthful effects may be
done for young girls room by the
use of gingham or glazed chintz in
plaid or polka dot pattern. This is
treated with two coats of coIorless |
lacquer so that the surface is wash
able after the fabric has been ap-
piled. One charming chest and bed |
was covered in burlap painted pale
green, and on this interesting sur
face flower motifs cut from glazed
chintz were applied and finished
with colorless lacquer. The youth
full effect was achieved, and the
whole room had the distinctive air
of having been individually designed
as a complement to the attrac-
tive brunei 16-year-old who occu-
pied it.

Markets Offer
Wide VARIETY
Of Berries
Delicious Desserts
May Be Prepared
During Summer
Bv Edith NJ. Barber

y
1t is almost too bad that the
markets offer us so much tempting
fruit all at the same time How can
we ever decide among 'blackberries,
blueberries, raspberries and peaches
to serve as is, with cream? When
it comes to the makings of pie or a
cobbler, then there are sour cher
ries to add to the list.
Although cobblers and other des-
sertS made with rich biscuit dough
or variation of it are served hot, no
one would ever think of turning
them down, no matter how warm
the weather. For cobbler, which
has many other titles in various Sec
tons of the country, a recipe is
hardly necessary. 1t just means
combining sugar and fruit in baking
dish and then covering the fruit
with rich dough.
If you decide against hot kitchen
you may stew the fruit on top of
the stove and then drop your dough
on top of the bubbling mixture to
cook without a cover. Perhaps the
best dumplings are those which have
an egg as an ingredient.
A dessert of this sort hardly needs
sauce as the hot fruit provides it..
You may, however, serve plain or
whipped cream or a hard sauce. In
one household it is customary to
serve thin creamy sauce with a
cobbler.
When you are using blueberries
as the basic fruit, you will probably
choose the uncultivated variety.
Those beautiful large, silvery culti-
waited berries make the perfect des-
sert in themselves when served with
sugar and cream. Nothing shows
the ingenuity of our fruit growers
more than the way they have pam
pered the wild blueberry and pro-
duced the fine product which is now
at the height of its season.
BURBERRY COBBLER.
/ recipe rich biscuit dough.

berries with dough and dot with
butter. Bake in moderate oven, 375
degrees, IS to 40 minutes, until gold

Do Not Neglect
To Give Child
His Water
Should Be Taught
Healthy Drinking
Habits Early
Bv Letfice Lee Street,

My, my! Isn't it hot!' bemoanee
one of the two women tanning
themselves in the sultry shade o.
the vine-covered porch. This sort
of weather keeps me thirsty all the
time"
I'll get some iced water" hel
companion offered.
When she returned with the tin
king pitcher her S-year-old son
came galloping up the stairs. Tn
thirsty, too, mom," he painted. May
l have a drink"
While they were all three quench-
ing their thirsts, the baby, who had
been asleep in his carriage, stirred
and whimpered, then dropped back
to nap again. He was thirsty, too
but he wasn't big enough to ask
for drink.
1t is true that forgetting or neg
lecting to give babies and young
children water between meals is
common fault of the inexperienced
or careless mother.
Children should be taught early
the healthful habit of taking a
drink of water at a regular time
in the middle of the morning and
again in the afternoon, They
should not wait until they are
thirsty, the body needs water in
winter, too, when we do not feel
thirsty as often as we do In sum-
mer. Nor should youngsters be
given water before or during meals
as it tends to spoil their appetltes
for their food.
Water is much more than just
q delicious tongue cooler. Among
its duties, vital to the body, are:
The regulation of bodily tempera-
ture, the metabolism of food, the
regulation of the proper quantity
of blood, the excretion of waste, as
we'll as other important uses that
are needed for the health of the
Joints and organs.
Water is necessary for life, suf-
ficient amount is necessary for
health 1t has no substitute.
The body loses f1ued constantly
via the kidneys, intestines, sweat
glands, saliva and the lungs. Ex-
pired air is heavy with moisture.
This loss must be replaced
Actually, the water we drink from
the glass is not the largest amount
of the water we take into our bodies
because almost all foods contain
water.
But during hot weather, when a
child SWeatS to excess, or if a
youngSter vomitS or has diarrhea
the fluid loss is so sudden and SO
great that it should be Immediately
replaced by frequently offering the
child small amounts of water. A
severe case of dehydration, which
can have grave results if it is al
lowed to go untreated, requires
methods of therapy administered
by a doctor.
Even if a mother does not know
why water is so necessary for her
baby, surely her kindness will guide
her. The hot, thirsty little baby
cannot talk, but he gets just as
parched as you and I.
Remember. never give an infant
or young child anything but clean,
boiled, tepid drinking water. Cold
water and milk will definitely make
little tummies ache and impair
proper digestion.
Keep your baby as cool as you
can in hot weather. If this is his
first summer, watch him and guard
him so that he will be blooming
with health when fall comes. Do
you want the 10-cent book on baby
care that will give you hot-weather
hints as to how to keep your baby
well and comfortable? If so, just
write to me, care of The Evening
Star, inclosing f-addressed,
stamped (3-cent) envelope.

Laundering Hint

To prevent the lint from white
clothes showing up on colored clothes

with, but the finished product make
it worth the trouble.

Girl Privileged
To Invite Man
Prefers
1t Is Not Necessary
To Repay One Who
Shoes Interest
BY Emily Post

Although it is true that young
girl, who has been given tickets for
herself and a partner to go to a
benefit dance, would naturally ask
the boy who has most often asked
her to go out with him, this is not
an unbreakable rule. This subject
is discussed by a girl whose mother
has given her such tickets and who
tells me that, instead of inviting a
boy who has taken her out many
times and whom she has sometimes
invited in turn. she wants to ask a
boy whom she likes very much but
has not known long. In fact, he has
not yet invited her to 60 anywhere
with him.
AS I have already said, girl (if
not engaged should be free to ask
whomever she likes, and not feel
obliged always to ask the one who
has happened (or been able) most
often to invite her. On the ether
hand, she should not lose sight OF
the fact that choosing stranger
who has shown her no particular
attention would be showing him
land everyone else) how much he is
preferred.
Dear Mrs. Pest: Would it be con-
sidered discourteous to ones guests
to omit ushers at wedding?
Answer: Not at all! When a we'd
ding is very small and there is no
need for ushers, they are often
omitted.
Dear Mrs. Post: I want to an
nounce my engagement at tea at
which my f1ance will not be present.
He is in the service and can't get
home at that time My father can
not be present either. Since my
fiance will not be standing to re-
ceive the guests with mother and
me, so that he might be introduced
as my fiance,' how can we an
nounce the engagement?
Answer: At a small party your
mother can tell people OF your en-
gagement and explain that unhap-
pily your fiance is unable to leave
camp. Or perhaps the better plan
would be to send the story of your
engagement to the papers to appear
on the day you give the party.
Dear Mrs Post: What salutation
do I use in a letter addressed to an
organization such as the League of
Women Voters and s. Woman's
College?
Answer: Address women collec-
lively as "Madams." This takes the
place of "SirS."

With only one day left in which to buy tickets for the USO Slam boree and to contribute to the USO fund by doing so, Juneauites are urged to visit one of the many busi- ness houses in Juneau and Douglas and purchase their tickets. Don't wait for a solicitor to call on you as there is no general canvass for this big event.
 By purchasing the $2 combination tickets, saving of at least $1 is guaranteed since the combination ducat entities the buyer to smoker, dance and baseball game all in one.

 Boxers from the local camp have not yet been announced.
 Referee for the smoker will be Harry Sperling. and judges will be Dr. w. w. Council and J. P. Will Hams.
 The dance will be held immediate ly after the smoker and in the Elks Ballroom and the baseball game will be played Sunday after noon.

MAYOR ISSUES
 STATEMENT ON
 U50 CAMPAIGN

Mayor Harry I. Lucas lssueo Vlle following statement today lh sup mort of the current USO Slamboree campaign to raise funds for the service mems organization:
 Have you made your contribu- tjon to the USO? If you have not WHY? I am making this appeal to the citizens of Gastineau Channel, in support of the drive for funds for the USO War Fund Campaign which is sponsored 100 percent by the Juneau Rotary Club, which has SO generously given it's time and money in support of this drive The members are doing a fine job, and are deserving of the support oi the entire community. Our armed forces. both locally and from Chll- koot Barracks are producing an entertainment in support Of thls drive. which will be worth more than ten times the fee which IS asked for admission. They are doing this voluntarily in support of the USO drive, as they realize that It means they will have place ln our city, where they can meet while off duty. Where they will have a home away from home. A place where they can relax, where they can enjoy the comforts of home as YOU and I have in civilian life. Life in the army camp gets mighty monotonous, with no place to go or nothing to do while off duty The USO fills this gap, and really does things to keep the spirit of the men in high. USO guarantees your fighting men, the fun and friend ship they deserve. Your contribution is a pledge to these men that you are behind them, and your pledge will go long way to take them to victory.
 Tomorrow night, to start the program, there is going to be a "Slamboree" smoker at the Fire mems Ball Park, which is going to De a real treat to every one on Gastineau Channel. Don't miss this show or you will regret it. The show will be followed by a dance given at the ElkS Hall, and the music will be furnished by our men in uniform. Sunday afternoon you can witness a real exciting ball-game at the Firemens Ball Park between two teams from the army camps Your contribution to the USO en- titles you to witness all these en- tertainments and I assure you that you will never receive better pro- gram for your money.
 "The quota for Gastineau Chan mel to this national campaign is SS2,O2200 or 48 cents per-capita This does not mean much, when you think of all the comforts and entertainment that it provides fol

men in uniform who are away from home. In the very near future, Ju- neau will have a USO club, which will be credit to our city, and a good home for all the uniformed men in this vicinity. These men deserve all that we can do for them, and I appeal to each and every one in Juneau and vicinity to do his part. Get out your wallet or your check book and make a generous gift to the USO If you care to make a separate donation to this worthy cause, you can send your check to the office of the Mayor, Juneau, and same will be greatly appreciated. USO is on the march Lets all get in line and back them to the limit"
