CASE FOB TENNIS RACQUET

Will Be Found of Considerable Use In . the Remaining Weeks of Warm Weather. A useful tiding to make and one that will certainly be required in many households, is a case for a tennis racquet. It should be carried out In some strong light material, such as brown bolland, linen or crash, and bound at the edges with braid. It can be cut out in two pieces, and to determine the shape and size it is a good plan to place the racquet upon

the material and draw a line round It with a piece of chalk, allowing plenty of space for the width of the racquet. Two different kinds of cases are shown in our sketches, the lower case being, perhaps, the more simple to make, but the upper case (c) will more effectually cover up and protect the racquet from damp. Tke„<me Is furnished with a flap that , folds over the broad end of the racquet, fastens down with two buttons and buttonholes, the Other merely opens at the. broad end. and the materia] folds back to the dotted line indicated by a and a, to admit th* placing of the racquet in the case handle first, the two sides being then drawn together and fastened with ribbon strings.

Diagram b shows the racquet serted In the case prior to this being done. With both the cases cord haa»’,; dies are sewn on at the sides for carrying purposes.
