This may be used with almost any style of furniture. If you want the easiest style to make, then buy a skirt with a flounce. Use this in informally furnished rooms. Another good style to buy, for patterns, is the straight skirt with simple pleats at the corners. Then, If you wish, you can make an extra skirt pattern out of tissue paper when you want variety. For formal rooms, for example, you may finish the skirt with fringe, and this is usually set right on top of a plain skirt. Fringed skirts are at home in Victorian, modern or traditional rooms. Shaped skirts are good in all types of rooms, as long as the shaping harmonizes with the room. Take the scalloped skirt for instance. The simple round or oval scallops are best in informal settings. Inverted pleating at the corners of a chair make the piece at home In modern or tailored settings. In traditional rooms you might like to hide ponderous or portruding legs with draped corners on the slipcover. Should the room be less formal, and you still want to hide or disguise faulty chair legs, use flounced corners. This treatment is especially good for Informal rooms, and for those ugly cabriole legs. Another corner treatment for covers that is good for chairs upholstered all the way to the floor, are the corded or lace trimmings.

If you desire a uniform pack, try to sort them according to size as they are washed. Scalding or blanching of vegetables should never be omitted in preparing vegetables for freezer use. Scalding retards enzymatic action and stops deterioration. It improves color and saves vitamins, and also softens the vegetable making packing easier. Scald a pound or so at a time, using steam preferably, or plunging the vegetable into hot water. Five minutes by steam is used for most vegetables except greens such as spinach which require only 2Vi minutes and green peas which need 3 minutes. Place the vegetable In water and Ice until thoroughly cooled, then drain on a tray with absorbent paper or toweling. Package at once and refrigerate. Only moisture and vapor-proo- f packages should be used for any type of freezing.

Make these with straight edges, tailored, if it's a plain large chair. These should fit over back, several inches down from the top, and come two or three inches over the amis on each side as well as at the front. If your chair seats take lots of wear, plan to make covers that tie under the seat with tapes to keep them properly anchored. Partial covers for ottomans can be made to slip over the top and come down on the sides for two or three inches. Make them snug enough so they don't slip off. Dress Up Tlaln Chairs With Colorful Covers Chairs for bed and dressing rooms can be ruffled and very decorative, but the fabrics for them are usually Old inexpensive. curtains and draperies as well as sheets, tablecloths and dressing table skirts can frequently yield enough material for the chairs if there is enough durable material remaining in them to be worth the sewing. Floor length skirts for bedroom chairs can cover the legs or rungs of an old dining room or straight-backe- d living room.
