How to Cover a Book.
i- Put the hook ia tho center of a sheet of ; paper lar^o enough to allow two inches to be turned in at tlie bottom and rides. ' Told the cover over Ilia sides and creaee it so thac ir, will not slip. Then cut diagonally from tiio top and bottom of the pa- ! per to points just » little beyond where l&e bool* will open. In many books this Jt^ay be determined easily by the binding. *• Cut straight slips from the top and bot--1 torn of the paper to the four corners of the •dges. Then fold the paper forming the " extension of the sides down between the took and the part of the paper cover which folds over the top. This will make each oorner perfectly square. When using cloth, it ia better-to fold the corners rather than to cut them, as the fttoth la apt to fray, but they should bo always turned and foldedLso as to come outglde the book Itself, between It and the oover, vays Golden Days.
