Show . MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD Any Room Can Be Made Charming With Gay Slip Covers Keep Sink Sanitary By Ertta Haley TJEMEMBER WHEN the slip cover was a dust protector? It's not so long ago when we slipped them over the furniture and then prayed we would be able to remove them before anyone would see them! Sometime ago slipcovers came out of their hiding, and how very fortunate they did! Now, they are stars in their own right and can make almost any room in the home, one of fresh beauty and charm. Thoueh some mav think of slio- - " i , 'Mm X " . f' Slip Covers Give Cue to Cblors In redecorating a room you may choose the covers first, and then base the color choice of the room on the materials used. Small rooms should have solid colors as they seem to make it less crowded. The larger rooms can be filled nicely, and economically, with the prints, plaids or floral designs. Combination slip covers are just as easy to make as those in one ma-terial. If you want to freshen and brighten the room with design, have the seat and back of a couch or chair done in plaid or floral while the arms and bottom carry a solid color. The solid used should match as closely as possible one of the colors in the print or plaid. In using these combinations of fabrics, you can go still further in the decorating scheme by adding a touch of print or plaid to lamp shades or for picture frames used near the furniture to be covered. In large rooms, you can make your conversational groups each in a different combination. It's effec-tive to have a fireplace group done in print, whereas a group near a window or wall can be in a solid tone, matching a color in the print group, or done in a shade lighter or darker than the wall color. Add Expensive Look With Smart Patterns Basic furniture can be Inexpen-sive, and even second-han- d if it's well made, repaired and clean. The proper slip cover can make it look several times what you paid for it. Take, for example, the .sofa or couch which must double as a bed at night. One of the nicest types of covers for this is a dust ruffle at-tached to a slip that fits under the mattress. The scalloped throw will hide the bed, and make it look like, a comfortable couch. It is, however, easy to remove when you make up the bed. Suppose you have a floral chair or studio couch and want to give the room a tailored look. A textured, solid material done in a tailored type will do the trick of conversion. The bottom may have de'ep pleats the chair or couch, or it may simply have deep kick pleats at the corners. ' Two chairs which you want to use in a grouping may have same lines, but their covers are at odds. Make matching slip covers, and they'll look like twins. Boudoir chairs are comfortable for bedrooms because they're soft yet firm enough to sit in while dressing. If you want to give a new look to an old one, slip cover it in velveteen, one of the jeweled colors so popular now. Keep Slip Covers Clean, Fresh Because of the ease with which they zip on and off, you can main-tain greater cleanliness with slip covers. Small spots should be treat-ed immediately. Place cardboard or I newspapers underneath the cover while doing spot removal, so you do not stain the muslin or original fab-ric. covers as something with which to hide worn, dirty and unattractive upholstery, they're something more. People starting a home frequent-ly buy muslin covered pieces, and plan to slip cover furniture during the course of its life. You see, slipcovers may be changed every time you want to change .the color scheme of a room, and this may happen twice a year, and certainly two or three times during furniture life. People like slip covers so well they have both a summer and win-ter set, and thus make possible two different rooms. i Slip covers enable you to simplify your cleaning. In dirty localities where dust and soot abound, you can whisk them off, launder them and have a fresh room, much more readily than cleaning the up-holstered pieces. Change the wall colors, and you can change slip covers, much more Want dishwashing to be an art instead of a chore? Then make it part of your dishwash-ing routine to pour one table-spoon of an approved chemical ' drain cleaner down the sink to prevent clogged drains which cause sewer germs to lurk near the sink as well as food and dish-es. It's more fun, too, to wash dishes when the drain is clear, clean and fast running. any cutting or sewing, for in this way you'll do the shrinking, and then you'll never have to worry about not having slip covers to fit perfectly. Wet the material thoroughly and stretch out to dry. It may be pressed before you sew, or even start the cutting. Professional shrinking service is available in some communities, and can also be used. The price is usual-ly based on the number of yards of material used. Enlist all the sewing aids avail-able for your slip cover project. These include zippers for the covers in place of snaps, for they'll save time in putting on as machines can be used to attach them. It's also easier to remove and replace the slip covers with zippers. Choose new patterns. . . . easily and less expensively than buying new upholstery. If the room needs cheering and brightening, you can add a new slipcover or perhaps dye an old set. How much easier than trying to change the furniture! Lines of furniture can be changed with slip covers, too, to make them more pleasing. The covers will hide ugly, chunky furniture legs, as well as disguising other unattractive lines. Amateur Bands, If Deft Can Make Slip Covers No one need be a professional to put together a set of slip covers. Not only the proper types of fabrics are available for the job, but you can buy patterns to help you, if unable to make your own. The project involves much mate-rial, for an upholstered chair will take ten yards, more or less, of ma-terial. The sewing, however, is sim-ple and not in the least tricky, es-pecially if you have fitted the cover on chair or sofa and basted before you attempt machine stitching. Those who have experience with slip covers will tell you the best kind of material to get is that which is sanforized. You may not dream of laundering the covers at home, but you may find it necessary, be-cause it's speedy and economical. Many of the heavier fabrics are now when you buy them. Indian head in luscious colors is available, as are the cotton chintz and crash types. Those which are not sanforized should be shrunk before you attempt bright colors for effect. Pinking shears can now be pur-chased at reasonable prices and should be used for finishing the edges, particularly if you're using a fabric that ravels easily. Use durable thread 'and adjust stitching to material so that sewing will be secure. Then the covers will not need constant mending where seams have sprung loose. Patterns have a way of slipping off the shiny fabric when you're making a quilt but not if you make the patterns out of sand-paper. If the man of the house has to carry a lot of keys or other heavy objects in his trouser pocket, re-inforce it by lining the lower part of the pocket with a piece of good strong chamoi.s. . .

"Here In the midst of a modern city, with good health, a good husband, and plenty of this world's goods, I am begin-ning to be sick with terror. When I married Frank, 19 years ago, I would have said that what I have today would have fulfilled my high-est dreams; I only wanted one child, I got him, a fine boy now in high school.' I wanted to love my husband and to have him love me, and that difficult wish was granted, too. Frank is a wonderful man In every way. "Well, then, what's the matter? I wish I knew. I've even been to a psychiatrist, but as he began his kindly, sympathetic questions I sud-denly began to laugh and then to cry and I unceremoniously left, and didn't go back. "The symptoms of my trouble and believe me, it is trouble are these: I feel a terrible distaste for everything, In sudden fits and starts. Making a bed, discussing meals with my part-tim- e maid, dressing to go out with Frank, lunch-ing with women friends, I will find myself suffocating with a terrible restless feeling, as if I wanted to scream, tear things to pieces, rush out into the open air. Often I find tears running quietly down my cheeks. "Reading a book seems out of the question now, and things like card games, movies, radio, all the amusements that once meant some-thing to me just make me ache with boredom. "I told the psychiatrist that I needed excitement, romance, and as I said it, it sounded so adolescent and imma-ture that I was ashamed. When Frank asks me what I mean by en who do go into these neurotic despairs, and find it almost to get their feet firmly or. the ground again, and once more breathe the air of healthy living and serving and enjoying life. Well, perhaps the interests of a woman's life are like a bank. Put love and interest into your life from the beginning, from the happy days when everything goes well, and later on you can draw out that love and interest, infinitely increased In volume. Spread your sympathies and activities from the golden days of youth, first love, engagement, marriage, honeymoon, new home, new baby, new friends. Live fully and generously in those years, and when the first flush of zest and en-thusiasm begins to fade as it must you will have a hundred outlets for your energy that are not essen-tially dependent upon youth and bloom. Yes, languages, gardens, cross-word puzzles, games, radio, Red Cross, charities all have their place in a balanced life. Obligations to the less fortunate should play a very important part in our lives as American women, and unless you are sharing, and sharing on a pret-ty generous scale, it Is not surpris-ing that you feel possessions and privileges sometimes fall rather flat. In your case I would pick the lowest slum in the city, and the dirtiest house. Your organized char-ities will find it for you. I would go there every day, take care of an invalid, cook children a school lunch, send filthy bedding to a cleaner, wash dishes and wipe kitchen shelves. There would be small glamor and romance in this undertaking, but there would be heartfilling compensations, and just to get home to a hot bath, an af-fectionate son, a good and loved companion, an appetizing dinner, a freshly turned-dow- n bed, a fat book and a long night's rest would begin to seem to you the miracles of wealth and comfort that they are. . . . tears running quietly . . ." change, romance, I don't know. All I know is that I am letting my nerves get oui of control and I am afraid of the future. "Finally," says Mary's letter, "please don't advise me to take up Red Cross or hospital work, study a language, go off on a trip by myself, take up upholstery or church work. It drives me mad to think of substituting namby-pamb- y busy work for the raging dissatisfaction deep within me. Sometimes for as much as two consecutive days I will be con-tented and occupied, then this hun-ger for something I can't define seizes me and I feel as if I should fly to pieces." This last sentence reminds me of one of those capable old ladies who sends for a doctor and then gives him a complete diagnosis of her disorder and tells him what to pre-scribe. For Mary here mentions several actual cures for her unhappy con-dition, but discounts them all, un-tried, as namby-pamb- y busy work. And ridiculous as it is for a woman as fortunate as she to fall into this state, yet it is just our comfortable, protected, apparently carefree worn- - Skin Gone A doctor who had taken up as his specialty the treatment of skin diseases, was asked by a friend how he happened to select that branch of medicine. "There were three perfectly good reasons," replied the physi-cian. "My patients never get me out of bed at night; they never iie; and they never get well." ONCf OVER : . Deep-Se- a Fliwer Relieves Traffic ' By H. I. Phillips EXPERIMENTAL AUTOS Include gas, brakes, a motor that slides out of the car on a platform and a car that will run under water. Our ambition is to sign a check with an underwater pen for' an underwater limousine. The whole idea of a submersible car is exciting. There is not much fun running one on land anymore. In fact, it has become close to impos-sible. e e Every day sees newer and wid-er highways, viaducts, tunnels and bridges built to ease traffic. But autos have been coming on-to the road so fast that the con-gestion got worse by the hour. You don't need a map when you start on an auto trip; you need patience, a good book and some signalling device to reach res-cue squads. In searching for a solution, it seems to us that the underwater car is the answer in all coastal, river and lake areas. What a thrill to turn off a clogged artery, shoot down a sidestreet kerplnmp lntc the water and get downtown with no further harassment. e For one thing when you are in an underwater car you are freed from all sulphurous dialogues with other drivers. The man who opens the window to shout, "Move over, ya bum!" is doomed unless he is a fancy swimmer. For anothtr thing, no traffic lights, especially those "WALK" ones in zones where no pedestrians have been seen in weeks. Whether back-sea- t drivers will be less of a hazard a few fathoms deep is questionable. We fear not. The wife will still chirp, "You should have turned off at that last and, "Stop at the next reel and check on your map!" In time, of course, ..11 the comparative advantages of an auto trip underwate: will pass. The authorities will start mon-keying with the rules and regu-lations. There will be an jnder-sea- s motor cop, the submerged blinker-lig- and the sign "Slow Down. Converging X i d e s Ahead." e We located Shudda Haddim today He had been in hiding after missing "Empty Talk" at $87.10 and was still moaning low. "The mornin' of the race the wife tells me she will cure me of bettin' or kill me, he wails. "On the way to the track a guy tells me how if he had two dol-lars he knows a four-hors- e parlay that couldn't miss. At the track at least four dopes tell me they are gonna give up playin' the Kjnies il they get even on the next race. And I don't get no hunch on this 'Empty Talk' thing! I !" e The trouble with "austerity" In our national program is that there are too many Americans who think they are leading the austere life when they take the $3 Instead of the 34.50 steak din-ner and abandon the search for white-wa- ll tires. Secret Church Fights Soviet Followers as Numerous As "Sands of the Sea" LAKE MAHOPAC, N. Y. An un-derground Russian church whose followers "are as numerous as the sands of the sea" was described before the world-wid- e council of the Russian Orthodox church outside Russia. Ivan M. Andreyew, physician and former professor of psychopathol-og- y at the University of Petrograd (now Leningrad), said the under-groun- d church began forming in 1927 when the Orthodox church split over the issue of communism In recent years, he said, informa-tion on the secret church has been scarce. But he said he had been in contact recently with several per- sons who had fled Russia who had received letters from underground church leaders. "The names of 10 bishops at pres- ent in the underground church are known to me," he said. "There are bishops, archbishops and metro-politans. There are many priests How many, nobody knows." Founded on the principle that compromise with the Soviet is Incompatible with fi delity to Christ," the underground church s slogan is: "I shall not tell thy secret to thv enemies. Neither like Judas win I give the kiss." |
