Practical Covering For the Folding Cot SOME people have a talent for making guests comfortable without. a big house or even a spare room. Here is how one clev er homemaker solved this prob lem by making an attractive and practical cover for a folding cot. A wooden frame with a bedding shelf at the top .was made to fit over the cot. This was covered with a fuU skirt of blue denim trimmed in bands of blue and red chintz. The mirror-door medicine cab inet on top had feet made of spools glued in place. It was painted blue outside and red inside. Another thoughtful touch was the good lighting for the mirror with wall brackets connected with a floor out let. ? ? ?

LET US TELL TOU MORE ABOUT IT Woman's World Unused Dresses Will Make Attractive Blouses, Jumpers ^ ?lrlla ~-J4a(ey. . AS YOU thumb through your clos ets preparatory to spring clean ing, you'll probably come across at least two dresses that are sadly worn and unwearable. With the clothing shortage and also the ex pense ot buying new clothing, you would do well to consider the pros pect of remodeling this clothing into something distinctly attractive and new looking. One garment that has plenty of calls for wearing is the jumper. When it's tailored, the jumper is ideal for business wear or sports. If it's made of velvet or another of the more decorative materials, the jumper makes an attractive date dress. Before any remodeling is attempt ed, the dress should be cleaned or washed thoroughly and ripped apart completely. Take care while ripping so that no threads in the material are pulled, and material so made useless. If you want to change the color of the dress, remove the old dye first. If, of course, you are dyeing it a darker color, the original shade does not have to be removed. For the classic jumper, trim off the sleeves and cut the armholes, making them fairly large. If you are uncertain as to the exact shape you desire, consult a pattern. Trim down the neckline, too, into a square or round shape. Find an unwearable dress . ? ? If the original skirt is flared, this may be retained in the jumper, but it will add a note of smartness to make wide, deep pockets out of the sleeves. In some tailored mate rials, these pockets take on new interest if they are stitched in con trasting thread. In some jumpers, a capped sleeve treatment is used. This is easily Ayes for Eyelets Men returning from overseas ex pect to find their girls wearing pretty but not high style things. Deep, white eyelet embroidery set in the wide yolk of a black dress is flat tering to the face. Note the eyelet motif carried out in the hat. ? And make a chie jumper from it. done simply by recutting the sleeve, leaving enough material to told un der for finishing; or, the sleeves may be ripped out and the capped effect achieved through the use of wide bands of grosgrain or faille ribbon. This Is done after the dress is redyed. At the beginning of this article I spoke about the possibility of your finding two dresses in the closet. Thus far, only one of the dresses has been mentioned. The other dress might well be made into a blouse to go with the jumper so that you will have a complete costume. Select Jumper Blouse In Contrasting Color The blouse for the jumper should be contrasting in color to the jump er, itself, or it may blend with that garment. With so many new prints out this season, a worn print, pro vided it looks well with the solid color you have used in the jumper, would be highly desirable. If, he.vever, the jumper is of a rathejfronservative dark shade, the blouie can be a solid bright color that blends with the jumper. Bright red goes beautifully with navy blue, or cerise is a lovely foil for aqua. You'll find ample material in most worn dresses for a blouse of almost any style and design. The most popular type for jumper wear is the blouse that ties in a bow at the neck, or one that has a neat collar treatment and buttons down the front. The sleeves may be long or short depending upon your taste and the material available. If the dress is tailored, it may not be necessary to rip the com plete garment. Sometimes the bod ice of the dress just needs trim ming from the skirt and finishing to make the complete blouse. If you do want to make a brand new blouse, rip the dress and start as you would with new material. Recut the sleeves and make them long or short. Add a new collar if the dress has one that is too fussy, and do bear in mind the type of jumper when you are making the blouse. Mending Pointers Men's worn-out shirt cuffs may be cut off and turned. Soft col lars can sometimes be purchased at a notions counter, or, they may be taken off other shirts that are not usable. Never stop stocking runs tem porarily with nail polish as this frequently damages the thread of the hose permanently. Reinforce weak spots by darning carefully before the holes appear. This is especially true for hose that tends to wear in the heels or toes or on top of the stocking. Patch slips that wear out under neath the armholes. If the straps are worn, replacements may be purchased and sewed on easily. Heavy linen thread is recom mended for button sewing. But tons will stay on better if they are sewed with a thread shank that permits the iron point to get closer to them without snapping off the button. Hooks and eyes are best sewn with double thread and an over and over stitch through boles. Sew over hook near top to hold It down. The straight metal bar or thread bar worked with a blan ket stitch is placed on the seam line. The curved eye extends slightly beyond edge of the open ing. To mend a diagonal tear, darn with small running stitches paral lel to lengthwise thread but in the direction of the tear. Over these stitches work another set of right angles to the first. Spring Fashion Notes If baby brother wants a sailor outfit like big brother, select one in a fabric that repels grime and dirt so as to keep him neat longer. For after-work, you'll want to con centrate on checked gingham short slacks and jersey blouses. Casual dresses include corded chambray, striped and checked ginghams, waffle pique in shirtwaist and button-front styles. The angular outline in shoulders is disappearing and the rounded ef fect is coming back strong. Hips, too, are emphasized with draped shirrings. Buttoned bands on square neck lines and peplums go to make up smart, cool dresses for the summer and spring. Choose a dark back-" ground and trim in' bright or pastel colors. i il.Phillipr Jr House-to-Auto Phone Call (Following the recent announcement that houte-to-car and car-Uxar telephon ing will toon he in operation.)

B&jfcSLOAN'S LINIMENTJ HTESTS conducted under a wide range of ' soil and weather conditions proved conclusively that Firestone Ground Grip tires will give your tractors up to 16% more pull on the drawbar. That's because only connected, triple-braced traction bars...with their extra tread-bar length in the center of the pulling zone... take a "Center Bite." Besides giving Firestone Ground Grips a "Center Bite," connected traction bars also insure better cleaning. There are no broken bar, trash-catching pockets such as you tee on ordinary tires. The connected bars are stronger, too, because tbey are triple-braced. This added strength increases tread life. These money- and time-saving features are responsible for today's farm preference for Firestone Ground Grips. And they are the reasons why it will pay you to hare Firestone Ground Grips on your present tractors and to specify Ground Grips when you buy a new tractor.
