FOR YOUR NEXT PARTY —\ ’ IBi | E

Card tables have a variety of uses when their green baize or leatherette surfaces are hidden with attractive covers. Plenty of covers is one of the secrets of a anccesaf ul bridge party. Not only must there be a elean, smooth one on each table for playing, but the really fastidious hostess likes to put on fresh ones before refreshments are served. Again, when sewing on very delicate, perishable materials, as party frocks and dainty lingerie, the card table can be covered this way and used as a work table. And for an informal tea or Sunday evening supper around the fire in the Living room, nothing is simpler than to drag out the card table from its hall closet retreat, set it up, and cover it with a pretty cloth. There Is no reason why the thrifty housewife should not have a number of these always on hand since they can very easily made at slight cost •Vo material Is more suitable than an empty flour sack which you can get from your baker for a fewcents, The inking is removed by

The corners are usually snipped off in order to make the cover fit more tightly. The edges are bound with bias tape in some bright color or may lie hemmed and buttonholed. Plain white tape Is used for the ties. The cover may be decorated in a number of ways. One is to applique to It a three-lnch heart, spade, club and diamond cut out of some solid color bits of cotton you may have in your scrap bag. Another is to cross-stitch some simple but efl'ective design into each corner. Still another idea is to insert crocheted medallions, but embroidery and decoration should lie confined to the comers of card table covers as otherwise the cards arc apt to catch in it. If you want napkins to go with the cover another flour bag will make nine twelve-inch ones which are buttonholed and decorated to match.
