MAKES OLD CHAIR LOOK NEW

Pretty Covers Are Easy to Make by First Cutting Pattern From Newspaper and Fitting It Oyer Chair. To well polish the wood and to provide a dainty cover for the seat of an old chair will make it look like a new oqe, and pretty covers are not difficult to make. The one illustrated is of a very useful type, and can be tied in position in a moment. It is carried out in dark

brown corded silk, and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon of the same color. It is lined with sateen, and tapes are sewn on at the corners where indicated. The space enclosed in the dotted line should correspond in size with the surface of the seat of the chair, and the flaps should be large enough to entirely cover the sides. It is a good plan prior to cutting out the material to cut out a rough paper pattern from newspaper and fit It over the chair. The design which appears upon the cover consists of blossoms worked in various shades of pale pink, separated with leaves worked in various shades of green.
