Can any of the RICH readers give
me any information on the care OF
a Jerusalem cherry plant? I re-
Gently received one of these plants
and, to my dismay, in few days the
leaves began to curl and turn yel-
low. Now the leaves and berries are
falling off. I should like to know
when and how much to water this
plant, and at what temperature and
humidity the room should be kept.

SLIP COVERS.
From Mrs. w. C. ~, Washington J
To Mrs. L. L. c., Hyattsville
(these suggestions may help you in
answering your questions)
l. BY all means, have your slip
covers made to order, by reliable
firm. If you are very clever with
your hands, you may be able to
make. your own and have them fit
we'll. But there is nothing worse
than poorly made and poorly fitted
slip cover Labor charges are what
make slipcovers cost so much when
you have them made.
2. To have slip covers that pay
select fabric that is color-fast to
anu ldullOCl lllS anu 4aoA ~
that is also preshrunk. Cottons are
usually available in designs that will
fit in with any type of room. Linens
do well Cf color fast, etc. in in
formal rooms, but muss and look
untidy quickly. Most rayons are
better for upholstery fabrics.
Keep in mind that the war has
affected the textile industry, but be-
fore long fabrics will be available
in a wider variety of colors and de-
signs than ever before. There will
be entirely new fabrics as well as
new finishes (such as crease resist.
ant, spot and stain resistant, etc.
in the future.
3. can see no advantage in hav.
ing slip cover that cannot be laun.
dered. Be careful in your selection
of fabrics and your covers will bt
worth every cent you put into them
