Slip -Covers For Children's Books "Be careful of that book, Dear.. It's a beautiful thing, and you don't want to spoil it." It is a beautiful thing, and he doesn't want to spoil it, but little fingers get smudgy, and how is a child to enjoy his books if he is constantly warned to be careful? One answer to the problem is a set of slip covers made from the plastic fabric which. is sold by the yard for making mattress protect- ors and other waterproof articles. Being transparent, it interferes very little with the enjoyment of brightly colored covers on storybooks, yet it offers fine protection, .In making the slip covers, it has been found that a complete wrap- around is best, from the inner edge of the front cover to the inner edge of the back cover. Curt it to extend about half an inch beyond while it is still on the book, as close to the edges of the book's own covers as you can manage. Then slip it off and stitch, pre- ferably with nylon thread, com- pletely across the top and bottom, inside the basting stitches. By mak- ing it rather small, and easing it on like a glove, you can get an al- most invisible skin-tight effect. Leave Quarter -Inch Seam After stitching, remove the bast- ing threads and trim the edges, leaving a quarter -inch seam. Turn right side out, and, bending the covers of the book back as far as they will go without being forced, begin to work the slip cover over both at once. Be sure to keep the scam toward the inside of the cov- ers. When it has been worked into place, you will find that the seam edges at the top and bottom of the back binding are stretched awk- wardly. Clip them as far as the stitching on either side of this sec- tion, and tuck them in. May Re Able To "Hear" Print It may soon be possible for the blind to "hear" print if the latest experiments with radar are success- ful. Equipment has been designed which, it is claimed, would enable a blind person to read ordinary print more easily than Braille. A tiny beam of light, moving along the line of print, picks up re- flections from the letters and passes them into an apparatus which traans- forms them .into sound. Each letter has a distinctive sound which is memorized by the blind operator, who, with practice, is able to read the printed word. This is just one of the many mar- vellous devices being perfected at St. Dunstan's, world famous organi- sation for aiding men and women blinded on war service. The number of blinded ex -Servicemen under the care of St. Dunstan's is 1600 as a result of the First World War, and 1,200 as a result of the Second. VOICE OF EXPERIENCE A magistrate was discussing bev- orages with a friend. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee Q. How should the invitation to act as a godparent be extended? A. Either verbally or by formal note. The request can hardly be refused, and one should consider it an honor to he asked to stand spon- sor for a child. Q. When introducing a person to.a group of people, is it necessary to repeat his name to everyone in the group? A. Usually just once is sufficient, '_However, if the group is rather large and there is a chance someone did not catch the name, it may be repeated. qF ik q4 Q. May a bride wear a white dress and a veil when being mar- ried in a magistrate's office? A. No. The traditional white is reserved for the church and home weddings. She should wear her ,going -away suit. Q. When a host or hostess is taking six or eight other persons to a restaurant, should the dinner be ordered in advance, or would it be better to let each person choose his own course? A. I't is pinch simpler to order in advance. To have the waiter perve six or eight separate dinners would be very inconvenient. :k ,;. Q. If a bride wishes to wear her engagement ring during the wed- ding ceremony, on which finger should she wear it? A. On the third finger of her right hand. :k # Q. Is it proper to thank a wait- ress every time she serves one a dish? A. No: but one should acknowa- -edge any special service, such as bringing an extra spoon or fork. O. Why is it necessary for the parents of the bridegroom -elect to call at the home of the bride? A. Because the girl is not wel- comed by the family until they do so. This call should be made just as soon as the news of the engage- ment has been received. ;k W Q. Is "I know Miss Brown" the proper thing to say when being in- troduced to her for a second time? A. No. This sounds as if it were trouble to make a second acknow- ledgment Say, "I have already had the pleasure of meeting Miss Brown." Q. When a man. is making a busi- ness call, isn't it all right for him to place his hat and briefcase on the desk of the man with whom he is talking? A. No; he should keep these articles in his lap. as Nearly Crazy With Fiery Itch — til I discovered Dr, DD, D. Dennis' am ing- Snet relief — D, D. D. Prosorl tion. World Billions Of Them But No Two Alike Of ah the billions of snowflakes that 4411 1111 a snowstorm, each is a masterpiece of design; yet no- body has ever discovered two that were exactly alike. Perhaps, they do look irregular in shape as they fall, but when they are examined under a microscope they are seen to be made up of deli- cate hexagonal or sixsided crystals, these being massed together iii a multitude of beautiful forms. Behind those leaden winter clouds the miraculous birth of a snowflake Is going on, and the raw materials is invisible water vapour. If the temperature falls, this water vapour condenses into tiny drops of water forming round dust particles. The tiny drops combine and fall as rain. In certain conditions, however— and these must be just right— snow- flakes are formed instead. The temperature must be below freezing, there must be water va- pour in the air, and also particles of floating dust around which the snow -crystals can form. Even so, it might be "too cold for snow," for when the surface air is three degrees below freezing point the chances are five to one against snow forming, "As white as snow" is a common expression, yet snow is really color- less. If a flake is examined under a microscope it is seen to be clear transparent ice. But when lying in drifts on the ground the light that falls upon it is reflected in all direc- tions and creates a pure whiteness. "Ilealth-giving snow" is another popular phrase, and there is some- thing in it. Scientists have proved that the purifying effect of falling snow upon the air is greater than that of a similar quantity of water falling as rain. "It is rarely that snow is quite dry," says the medical journal, the "Lancet," and thus 'it presents a more or less moist surface to both the soluble and suspended impur- ities of the air and so carries them to earth." Lighter Than Rain Snow is much lighter than rain, being stout one-tenth the weight of an equal bulk of water, though this proportion varies according to the compactness of the snow. Sometimes It takes only six inches of snow to make one inch of water, but occa- sionally it may take thirty inches. A severe snowstorm with a hard frost is disastrous in it civilized country. The snow settles on the telegraph wires, freezes, and adds an enormous weight to the load the poles have to support. Then as the loaded wires are driven to and fro by the wind, they sway and either snap off their poles, or drag them out of the ground. "Warm" Snow Snow acts like a warm blanket. On one occasion in America it was found that there wa-s a difference in temperature of 56 degrees Fah- renheit between the cold snow at the surface and the warmer snow seven inches down. This blanket effect explains why sheep buried beneath the surface often survive. In Africa, almost at the equator, there is a snowfield on Mount Kenya and another on Mount Kili- manjaro. There is a height in all latitudes, whether tropical or arctic, above which the snow never melts entirely at any season of the year, and this is called the snow -line. Scientists think it not improbable that there is as much as a million cubic miles of snow and ice now on the land part of the earth. If this were melted and returned to the sea it would raise the ocean level about thirty feet. From The Pen Of J. M. Barrie From Peter Pan: When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into, a thousand pieces and they all went shipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. Whenever a child says "I don't believe in fairies," there's a little fairy somewhere that falls right down and dies. To die will be an awfully big adventure.
