Today’s sketch shows how she used that chair at her desk. The full description of the transformation of the chair is in Sewing Book 5, which is offered here for the first time. This new book contains 32 pages of helpful ideas for homemakers and is available to readers of this paper |HEAVY CARDBOARD OR AN OLD PICTURE FRAME-, ■ a ^ y.

Miss Fixit painted an old desk blue to match her chair. She had some enlarged snapshots that she wanted to hang over the desk but she also wanted to repeat the blue color and some of the red in the chintz used for the chair. So, she decided to make blue vel veteen frames for the pictures and then hang them with red rib bon. The diagrams show you ex actly how the frames were made. Betsy, who also streamlined an old iron bed, which she found in the attic, will be with us again next week with more “attic magic.” Meanwhile better send your order for your copy of Sew ing Book 5 to: MRS.

Name Address Origins of Cattle Brands Probably most of the stories about the origins of the 1,500,000 cattle brands registered in the West are legends.
