trlth a design of purple wistaria and^
green leaves against a white or pale
green ground, and celling pals green
er -white. This wall scheme Is equally
good If the paper Is pale in stripes
of two tones and the woodwork la
•white enamel. The floor should be of
d*rk brown wood with a plain rug of
dark green.
Frencii chintz in wistaria pattern
can be caught for a dollar and a quar
ter a yard and Is Quite wide. To cover
a stuffed chair with chintz fit It
carefully over the seat and back and
tack with strong linen thread directly
to the chair. A valance or petticoat
may be easily made by laying a
etraight flounce In very shallow pleats
and pressing them dOTrn vrith an Iron.
When this Is sewed carefully around
the chair It should cover the legs and
Just escape the floor. Nothing now re
mains uncovered but the back of the
chair, and for this one may use plain
sreen eateen If It is desirable to econo
mize the chintz. One woman who cov
eted a pretty, cozy looking cottage
parlor bought four stuffed chairs and
a divan at a second hand store for $25.
They were covered trith disreputably
faded tatin brocade, but the springs
were Intact and the frames cs good
as when each chair cost $30 or $SO.
After having them beaten and brushed
and -washed with antiseptics she re
covered them In the Tray I have de
scribed with chintz and thus secured
for $40 a complete set of beautiful fur

Tomato Jelly
Margaret Sullivan, SIS • Fourteenth
street
Four teaspoons gelatine, quarter cup
cold water, two and a half cups
strained tomatoes, quarter . teaspoon
salt, two slices of onion, two cloves
two peppercorns. ' -*
I advise this mode of covering rather
than slip covers, because the latter
are prone to pulling into -wrinkles
and folds and thus becoming creased
and spoiled. A glazed chintz retains
Its beauty and freshness an incredibly
long time if It Is fastened tightly Triih
a smooth surface on the seat and back
of a chair or sofa. The stiff valance.
If carefully pressed, will also remain
trim and perfect "If properly put on.
The best way to fasten the valance to
the edge of the seat Is to turn over
the upp«r edge. and fasten with invis
ible Etltches, leaving merely a little
rolled edge no larger than a cord to
project above the stitches. An up
standing frill will, of course, be un
advlsable. A couch or window seat
may be added to this, covered with
dark green denim. A beautiful de
sign for the pillows for a couch In
plain green Is to cover large, square,
stiff pillows with green denim and on
top or front side of them, as they are
placed against the wall, sew a square
of chintz showing the -wistaria pat
Method: I— Soak gelatin© In cold
water. 2 — Mix together the remaining
Ingredients and cook three or four
minutes. 3 — Remove from stove and
add g-elatine and mix well; then strain
