Save Laundering Pillow Covers

The toy box in the nursery was first painted, then covered with cretonne, but the paint was soon marred and the cretonne quickly soiled. Next I bought a very soft flexible black oilcloth and covered the box; then I padded an old blanket and covered that with the oilcloth. Only a moment is required to wash it and it is quickly fresh and clean. Nursery pillows were covered with the same material in different colors. The oilcloth can not be stitched on the machine. I use long-and-short stitches with wool, fastening the oilcloth on the pillow in this fashion, leaving a border with a raw edge about two inches wide. -Mrs. E. A. G., New York.
