Reading in Bed.

The pleasure of reading in bed during convalescence is often diminished by the difficulty of propping or holding the book in a comfortable position (states a writer in the “Manchester Guardian”). A loose book cover of velvet or other non-slip-ping material, and two rubber bands may be used with success to save unnecessary and tiring effort. The cover helps to keep the book from sliding about and the’ rubber bands hold the pages open. If necessary a small cushion may be used to prop up the book, or a support like that of a photograph frame may be stitched to the back of the velvet cover. , Red and Blue Shoes. There is an epidemic of red and blue shoes among the small folks in society to-day (states a London writer). At all the. christening parties and nursery lea parties, small people appear in them. Princess Elizabeth mostly wears bronze. This is practical, because bronze “goes with” anything.
