IoCATING BOOKCASE?

LOCATING BoOKCASE9
from Mrs. H. E. s., Washington.)
have been trying for some time
10 locate a bookcase to match one
we have. but with no success,
either through furniture stores or
secondhand stores. Have also tried
the want ads and got no results.
The bookcase Is solid birch in
champagne" finish, manufactured
by the Haywood Wakefield Co. Il
wrote direct to them and did not
receive a reply.) If any reader has
any suggestions on how I might
hnd this, please contact me through.

TRACING DESIGN.
From Mrs. L. C. j., Paturent RiUer. y
am not so good at giving advice,
but to Mrs. c. r. r., Arlington: I
had success with designs which I
traced by means of carbon paper
into the material I wished to en-
broider. AS you embroider it may
be wise to cover the remaining de-
sign with piece of cloth, as the
carbon will smear slightly and
makes the embroidery lines little
hard to work with. There may be
other, easier ways but I did several
pieces in this way and all were' sue
cessful.

INSTITUTIONS INTERESTED?
(Fron Mrs. B. O., Washington.)

to good advantage. I am wonder
ing If there is some charitable in
stitution (not an Individually here
In Washington, or out of the city,
which would be interested in re-
ceiving these old hose? If some
