exchanging
Christmas greetings originated in
The custom of
■ England. At first, a Christmas
w note or letter of good wishes was
sent. School children wrote
"Christmas pieces"—supposedly as
™ expressions nf good will to their
parents—but actually as lessons in
penmanship. Then, Christ m a s
greeting cards appeared in tne
1840's.
"A Christmas Carol," Charier
Dickens' beloved story, was
ten ,in 1843—just one year after
the world's first Christmas eard
tlipiared.

Expert Offers Slip Cover Cleaning
Slip covers are not made to pro-
tect themselves, unfortunately. At
summer's end they are usually
very dirty for just that reason,
no matter how often you've laun-
dered them during the season. But
do not store them away in that
condition, warns Winifred S. Car-
ter of Procter & Gamble's House-
hold Information Service. A hist
laundering will help keep them
new looking, and will save you
that job in the spring.
The don't-put-off-till-tomorrow
philosophy applies here. You have
the satisfaction of knowing that
because you have washed your
covers when they are slightly soil-
ed, rather than waiting until they
were really dirty, you have kept
the fabric new-looking and young.
Mrs. Carter presents some lab-
oratory tested facts for the wash-
ing of slip covers before you put
them away for fall.
1.) Be sure the fabric is wash-
able, both as to color fastness and
shrinkage. You should check this

Made for
once-a-week shopping I
at the time of purchasing the
covers, and if you wish, you can
double check on color fastness at
home. Dip a portion of the back
—about five inches square—in a
bowl of warm water. All-purpose,
heavy-duty laundry soaps are ex-
cellent for removing hard-to-get-
out dirt. Let this portion of the
slip cover soak for a few minutes,
squeezing occasionally. If the
colors do not run or bleed, you
can go ahead with the washing.
2.J Do not soak slip covers, i'ut
them right into a washer in plenty
of lukewarm suds which are ex-
cellent for removing hard-to-get-
out dirt. Wash only one cover at
a time. Rinse and hang in all airy
place to dry, using two parallel
lines if you have them. Pin the
back to one line, the front edge
of the seat to the other. Smooth
out, pulling seams in place — this
helps the covers to dry in shape.
3.) If you find covers are
clumsy to handle, you might try
this trick recommended by Mrs.
Carter. Place covers back on furni-
ture when they are still slightly
damp but not wet. Stretch" and
smooth them with your hand until
wrinkles disappear. Let them dry,
then remove and fold carefully to
avoid unnecessary wrinkling when
you store them away.
