COUCH COVER.
From Mrs. Fl. w. G., Washington.
Recently covered a studio bed with
plastic material. I cut slit in the

through. Now the plastic is splitting
and can find no remedy for it. Re-
suit is my couch is an eyesore. Do
nope some one can nelp me!

To Mrs. w. G.. c., Washington
The armchair pin cushions wrote

stuffed with a little kapok or cotton
batting. The seat Of the tiny chair

Complete directions and pattern for
cutting cardboard frame were in
the March, l948, issue of Profitable
Hobbies" Or If you can't locate

send you the directions I have.
To Mrs. I. H. p, Washington: This
is a delayed thank you" for your
about a torchere shade
l purchased one OF the opaque white
glass shades designed for ordinary
indirect lamps, and we are very well
satisfied with it.
I have never seen a reply to my
inquiry about dyeing . white wool
sweater, although it may have been
printed while I was away on vaca-
ton this summer. Can this be done
shrinking and hardening
the wool? 1t is a hand-knit.
At the risk of making this too
long, I'd like to send out an SOS
lbout my poinsettia plant. had it
last Christmas and it was beautiful.
I didn't know how to care for it,
until I read an item in your column
about it, and I have done all 1t said.
repotted 1t and set it outdoors last
spring and it grew new leaves rap
idly and was doing just fine until
/ week or two ago. Now the leaves
ire dropping and it looks as II 1t
is dying. I water 1t, and yesterday
gave it some plant food. Id hate
TO lose 1t. What do I do now?
