Capitola HD Club
Has Demonstration
On Upholstering
"In tying sagging springs, al-
ways run cord over springs,
then to left and under springs,
then right over cord, under
spring to right, remembering to
have core same length between
each spring and from frame to
spring so spring sets up level,"
stated Mrs. Martin Burnett to
the Capitola HD Club members
on Thursday, when she and Mrs.
Bennie Kidd gave a demonstra-
tion on upholstering a chair.
Mrs. Kidd sggested the use of
old bed springs or wire coat
hangers should a spring be brok-
en. A carpenter's apron is very
good to keep upholster tools in;
so that they will always be han-
dy when needed.
Refreshments of combination
sandwiches, potato chips, ice
cream, angel food cake, and iced
tea were served to two visitors,
Margalene and Brenda Kay
Walker, and members, Mmes. H.
Sullivan, Calvin Walker, G. T.

sage demonstrations will be giv-
en on May 27, iri the home of

livan as hostess.
