Bureau of Home Economics Publishes Bulletin on Making Cotton Slip Covers

EO—————— — - —

WHEN IT COMES to enlivening a room—there's magic in trimly tailored slip covers. Slip covers can harmonize miscellaneous furnishings. They can transform living room white elephants. They can pro-

tect furniture. Or thev can double for upholstery the year around. ‘But. whatever the reasen for putting a slip cover on a piece of funiture, cotton is one of the best materials for making the cover,” Bess Viemont Morrison, textile specialist of the Bureau Economics, U.

“First thing to look for in slip cover material,” says Mrs. Morrison “is a firm, close weave. Such a fabric will keep its shape, tailor well, be easy to work with, and keep the dust from sifting through onto the! furniture underneath. Next, look for facts about shrinkage. You want to be sure you can wash the cover over and over. Look on the selvage for shrinkage facts.

Answer—In my opinion you have a very slim chance of marrying the man no matter what vou do. For one thing vou've been entirely too bold in showing your feelings. Men prefer to do their own proposing. They may be flattered and amused by the woman who goes after them as whole-heartedly as you have done but for permanence most men prefer someone more subtle. Surely you must have heard how men fight for the girl who is hard to get. You've observed your own reaction toward ‘‘the only man you can't have your way with.” Yet you learn nothing from these observations and are content to be the easiest mark of all. You offer no challenge whatever to the man’s powers of attraction. In time such complete capitulation will bore him. About the worst thing you could do would be fo go to his wife You not only would stir up all her possessive instincts and make her unwilling to get a divorce even if this is advisable, but you would make vourself into a frightful nuisance where the man is concerned. How do vou know he wants a divorce or that he would marry you if he had one? It is my guess that the man doesn’t want a divorce at all but simply wants another fling at the adolescent type of courtship which does not end in responsibilily. As long as he is married, girls like yourself cannot expect him to propose and this very safeguard is what he likes. When and if he gets chasing around out of his system, he may go back and live with his wife again, if she’ll have him. Why give the man an Easter present? in his sleeve for being such a goof.
