Embroidered Chair Cover.

Embroidered slips are much used now instead of chintz covers for chairs. They can be made of thin woolen material, or of

linen. When of wool they are embroidered with crewels. The better way to have the covers fit nicely is to lay the material on the chair, pin it in place to hold it firmly, and lay the plaits and seams just where they should be, and oat the material then. There are no two chairs exactly alike in shape, and it will be found far moro easy to fit them in this way. The seams and edges are bound with braid, and the comers are laced down with cords. The caps for the arms are fastened witb buttons and button-holes. The first Christian church in England is said to have been erected at ; Glastonbury, Somerset, about A. D. 60.
