A Cover For Your Broom Tack any thick cloth, such as felt, all round the head of the broom, making it extra thick at the corners, and then cover the whole head with a black or brown bag. This saves bits of the furniture from being knocked off, as no matter how careful one is when sweeping, one always knocks into something. This is useful, too, when there is an invalid in the house.

Use felt, and cover with black sateen. This is cut to twice the length of the head, and double the width. Make a narrow hem at oneend after folding the width of your material in half, and thread a piece 01 elastic through. Join the ends together and then along the top, leaving a hole big enough to slide over the handle. The elastic end fits over the top of the straws. Training of a Princess

Princess Elizabeth, now 13 years old, is being trained in a sense of ner responsibilities, but not of her own importance. She is now a hostess in her own right. Almost every ,veek she entertains young friends especially invited by herself —not just the children of friends visiting her parents. She now gives small .uneh and tea parties, as well as the annual children’s parties, of which everyone knows.

On these occasions the Princess helps to arrange the menu witli the chef. Her taste in food is sound, in fact,’ robust. She likes consomme, macaroni with tomato sauce, grilled lamb chop, and vegetables and farok pudding. A favourite meat dish is boiled mutton and caper sauce. She also likes stewed rabbit and calves' liver and bacon. Steamed puddings, especially small marmalade puddings, are a regular choice
