They were made of two layers of fabric with cotton between and every four inches or so in rows the three layers of material were caught together with a stitch of wool yarn double which was then tied twice and clipped to make a fluffy tuft. Well, that is exactly the way many of today’s smartest chair covers are made. A cover of thia sort re­ deemed this old rocker and re­ vealed its hidden charms. The cover is plain, medium green glazed chintz tufted with dark green yarn and three inch dark green fringe is used around the bottom. A long zipper makes a center back closing. Each sec­ tion of the cover was fitted on the chair in the muslin lining first and these pieces were used as patterns for cutting the chintz, also the cotton which was trimmed to be %-inch smaller all around. After the pieces were tufted, as shown at the upper right, the seams were stitched up. Long stitches were then made on the in­ side to catch the edges of the cot­ ton in place. • town when he got a call to report for draft induckshun at once and he is still squawking. I also got a tent­ mate who was a union man in Pitts­ burgh before he was drafted and he keeps making Speeches trying to convince us that we shud picket the general’s tent and demand more money and less drilling. We have movies every night in a big tent, but I do not like them mutch as it makes me soar to see all those fellers in citizen close lolling around on couches and sit­ ting in the moon­ light with beauti­ ful girls when they should be in some camp lern- ing how to take a gun apart and guard a latrine, But they do not make me as soar as news pitchers of congressmen when they was still chewing the fat over that lease-lend bill. 1 don’t even know yet weather 1 am going to be lent to Europe or just leased or what? It sure has been a cold winter to be in a army, but the old sarge who was in the last war says we shud of been around then and we wud not be kicking now.

You’ll not only be "right in fash- ion," but you will be joyously "in tune" with spring. This is a season which calls for "prettiness." No matter how simple the frock, the suit or the ensemble, you should give it lovely-lady air* by enchanting accessory details— flowers, perfume*, veils, decorative handkerchiefs, frothy fragile neck­ wear, an intriguing handbag or col­ orful glove*. Flower hats this spring are as bewildering in type, color and de­ sign as a garden of flowers. Some of the floral headpieces seem not much more than a cluster of posies anchored to the head by a labyrinth of ribbons and bandeau devices. They finish off with a cloud of misty, colorful veiling arranged smartly. While flowers of every variety are in fashion, there is particular em­ phasis on roses. You will see roses on hats, on bodices, on handbags, on sheer party dresses, and even under the wide brim of felt hats.

It adheres to a tradi­ tional pattern of simplicity inaccord­ ance with the present fashion trend toward classics.

Silk. Rayon Printed Suits Taking Fashion by Storm with exactly the fine nicety and sim­ plicity one expects of wool suits. The long-jacket suit with an all­ round pleated skirt is a favorite. Th-’ jacket has revers and a one- button or two-button fastening. You will find in the stores stun­ ning redingote styles as well, tai­ lored like cloth, fitted meticulously as your long topcoat, the dress un­ derneath styled in a fetching one- piece manner. These new print tail- leurs are starting a vogue that is taking the fashion world by storm. Tiers, Ruffles, Peplums Add to New Silhouettes The newest silhouettes call for tiers, ruffles and peplums. And the real news about these styling de­ tails is that designers are handling them so adroitly that they in no way destroy the straight slim lines that fashion demands this season. Very good looking are the new dressmaker coats, cut on princess lines to above the knee, at which point a wide pleated flounce car- ries on to the hemline. Prints and Plain A new and very helpful aid in se- lecting prints and plains to "go to- gether” is the manner in which ma­ terials are being displayed this sea­ son in the stores. It is the custom this season to show a print and the plain material all side by side in colors that correlate perfectly. Flower Bracelets The newest fashion wrinkle is to wear a flower or boutonniere at- tached to a ribbon bracelet, the cuff of your glove, or the edge of the sleeve at the wrist. Of course the flower should match the flower trim­ ming on your hat Designers Defy Raids In London, dressmakers keep on dishing out their normal supply of work, in spite of air raids.
