USES FOR CRETONNE.
Cretonne bags to fit over dress-hangers and protect evening and other light frocks from dust in tho wardrobe are useful innovations. Books with shabby covers and paper covered ones take on a new lease of life if they have cretonno covers made for them. These are put on just like brownpaper covers, secured from slipping _ off with a neat stitch or two on the inside. This is a good way of lengthening the existence of favourite and much-thumbcd nurserv books. Blotters of cretonne look smart, on bedroom writing tables. They are simple to make. Cardboard, or a couple of old book covers, slightly padded with cottonwool, form tho foundation.
