A USE FOR OLD CURTAINS PROTECTIVE COVERS FOR DRESSES Xo matter how old and faded your cretonne curtains may be when finally replaced by new ones, they may still prove useful in a different role. Wash and iron them, lay each pair fiat on the table —one curtain on the other—and measure them against ths length of your best suit or your most cherished frock, as the case may be. Cut to the required length, leaving enough material over at the top to ! make a generous casing and being careful to have sufficient length entirely to cover the garment. Join the two curtains together up the sides, turn in a wide hem at the top ard make a casing for strong ribbon or braid. The hem at the bottom is already made, so no more remains to be done except to thread the ribbon through the casing. Slip a suit or a frock into each cover, draw up the ribbon so that the whole is shrouded and only the hanger remains outside — and you may keep your clothes quite safely in an ordinary cupboard It wardrobe space be limited.
