PARE THE LOOSE COVERS

Loose covers of cretonne are favoured by many people, but they have the disadvantage of soiling quickly over the arms of the chairs. When loose covers are made it is a good plan to buy some extra material and make ' both head rests and arm rests of the : same material. If they are cut with a : little care so that the pattern matches 1 exactly the parts that are to be coveted the additional pieces will hardly be noticeable when in place. These lengths are easily laundered, and save not only wear and tear on covers, but the large laundering charges. APPLE RELISH j l Seven pounds of apples, 211 b. sugar, 1 one pint vinegar, 21b. seeded raisins, ] two oranges, two teaspoonfuls of powdered cinnamon, one teaspoonful of powdered cloves. Chop the rasins and put them into a porcelain-lined kettle; add the apples chopped and unpeeled, the Juice and the chopped peel of , oranges, the sugar, vinegar and spices, i Boil steadily for half an hour. The : relish will keep in unsealed cans all winter. “DEVILS ON HORSEBACK” Required; Four or more plums or prunes, four thin pieces of bacon, four devilled almonds, four fried croutons of bread.

To do her daily dozen really dailywet and cold mornings as well as bright and sunny ones. To say “Yes” to John the next time he asks her to marry him. In case he doesn’t ask again!
