Custom-made slipcovers for your

HOLLY

Holly was considered sacred by the Druids, who believed that it's evergreen leaves attested to the fact that it was never deserted by the sun. Legends relate that the crown of thorns was plaited from the holly. Before the Crucifixion, the berries were white, but turned crimson like drops of blood. Who ever brings the Christmas holly into the house first, either hus- , band or wife, is the one who will rule the ensuing year.

VIRGINIA
By LunelIe Geer

Young Peoples Adviser, Mount Pleasant
Branch, Public Library.
Extending some 400 miles from the
coastal plains through the Blue
Ridge Mountains and the Appalach-
ian Plateau, the State of Virginia
abounds in lovely scenery, affording
natural backgrounds for the wealth
of building and lore remaining out
of the past.
Many people visit Virginia each
year and enjoy the awe-inspiring
experience of Natural Bridge, the
taking beauty of the Skyline
Drive, the quiet magnificence of old
Williamsburg architecture, the un-
hurried daily existence of these
Southern people.
To plan actual tours or armchair
travels readers will find Virginia, a
Guide to the Old Dominion" by the
Writers Program, helpful and in
teresting, with its pictures, history
|of the State, detailed information
about cities and points Of interest
and It's planned tours, For the folk
lore enthusiast there is a new col
lection, Folk Songs Of Virginia" by
Arthur K. Davis, jr., which classifies
and describes some 5000 folk songs
And for the lovers of Old Virginia
architecture Thomas T. Waterman s
"The Mansions of Virginia, 1906
1776,' with descriptions, plans and
photographs, summary sketches of
the mansions, photography and a
good index, will prove q valuable
volume.

Dorothy Dziedzic's instinct for

"A few months ago I was looking
for book in the attic, and I no.
ticed large number of coffee cans
around. 1t seemed pity that they
should be wasted, so I bought few
cans of enamel in assorted colors
and one small paintbrush.
II painted the cans one color and
the covers of the cans contrasting
color, in such combinations as green
and cream, red and white, blue and
white and black and white.
After the enamel was dry I meas
ured from the top of the can 2
inches and made very light line
with a pencil. Then I measured
inch down from that line and
marked that place also. Between
these two lines I drew letters l inch
high, averaging three-fourths inch
wide.
Il made the following words on
the cans: Tea, coffee, sugar. rice
salt, cocoa and so forth. First ]
made them with pencil, and then ]
painted them with the enamel
matching the cover. I made six to
each set.
Il sold them very easily at s1.25 a
set and made profit of 81 on each
set"
