MAKES DAINTY CHAIR COVER

•Pretty and Exceedingly Useful Article Requires but a Short Time to Fashion. There seems to be a revival in the fashion of what in the old days was called the antimacassar, and a dainty cover of this kind for the back of an arm chair makes a verj| pretty addition to it and serves the purpose of protecting that portion of the chair which usually needs it most, and in the case of an old chair It hides that part which has probably become most shabby. - . . 1 - ’ . We give therefore a sketch of a very dainty cover carried out in ribbon and lace, .and it la also one that

can be made without any great amount of work and which looks wonderfully pretty and effective. It merely consists of squares of lace sewn in betweeh bands of satin rib-

bon and lined at the back with soft silk and finished off at either end with frills of lace. The colors of theVmaterials are a matter of choice, but it would look well carried out In any pale shade of color, the silk lining showing through the lace with pretty effect, or it might be made in a combination of colors if preferred. For everyday use a lining of batiste or sateen might take the place of-silk, it would be less expensive and could be easily removed and cleaned when necessary.
