Turn them into luggage racks for the guest room by stripping them of the canvas seats. Varnish, stain or paint the wod. For each, make three two-inch wide strips of chintz or other material harmonizing har-monizing with the room, doubled, dou-bled, and neatly seamed. Firmly tack them across the frames, one in the middle, one near each end. A good idea to bring into the living liv-ing room as a tray holder. The strips may be of a needle point, cross stich or some of the room's upholstery or drapery material. Quite easily it may become a permanent per-manent coffee table!

The shelves can hold books magazines, bed-side radio, water jug. Imagine them red oilcloth-lined, with red and white checked cotton material, and crisp frills of white muslin, organdy or-gandy or eyelet embroidery. It will take 2 or 3 yards of the checked material,, depending upon up-on width,, and Vz yard material for ruffles for each table.
