WILL KEEP THE WATER HOT

Cover for Jug Adds Much to the Comfort of the Shaver in the Early / Morning. A cover for the jug that contains' the hot water for shaving purposes is always a useful art!cle, but now that the cold weather is with us, it is more than ever essential. We give, therefore, a sketch of a handy cover, that can be slipped over the jug after it has been filled, and that leaves the handle free, so that the jug may be. easily carried with the cover upon it.; Blanketing is perhaps the best material to select to make it in, but any thick woolen fabric may be used. For the upper part of the cover two: circular pieces rather larger than the top of the jug should be cut out and sewn together, and between these two pieces either a stiff piece of cardboard or a piece of tin should be sewn in to stiffen them. The steam from the hot water will in time soften card-

board, so that tin should be used for; preference, and a piece rut from th» top of a meat tin will answer the purpose. To this, the remaining part of the cover is easily attached, and a slit left upon one side for the handle. For appearance sake the seam round the top may be edged with cord, and a loop of tape should be sewn on where indicated for removing the cosy from the jug, and the words “Shaving Water” can be worked in colored wool upon one side. A double thickness of material should be used throughout, and The base and the slit for the handle bound at the edges with braid chosen of the same Color as wool and cord.
