_Frame_: 4 pieces, ¾” thick × 3” wide × 43” long for rails in frame. 2 pieces, ¾” thick × 3” wide × 22” long for ends of frame. _Posts_: 2 pieces, 1½” thick × 2” wide × 19” long for front posts. 4 pieces 1½” thick × 2” wide × 23½” long for arms and back posts. _Slats_: 14 pieces ¼” thick × 3” wide × 14” long for back and end slats. 16 pieces ½” thick × 3” wide × 20” long for slats in seat. _Cleats_: 2 pieces ½” thick × 2” wide × 48” long. DIRECTIONS: Mortise the end posts for the back and the front, also arm posts. Mortise the back and front and end rails of the frame to fit the end posts. Nail and glue them into position. Round the edges of the seat slats and nail to cleats on the front and back of the frame. Mortise the back and end slats, fitting them into the rails and frame and fasten with strong glue. Use support made of iron and fastened to the seat with screws to give strength to the mortises formed at the arms and front posts. The chains to suspend the swing are fastened to holes made in these iron supports. Make the back of the swing first, then the ends and front, nailing the seat slats in after the glue has fastened the mortises securely together. [Illustration] CHAPTER IV =MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT= A DUSTLESS MOP [Illustration] A cheap and efficient article for the housewife is a mop made of old stockings and the handle of an old, discarded broom. This mop may be used successfully for polished and painted floors as well as for unpolished floors. It is made by cutting the straw off of a broom which has worn out. This is cut even with the wires which hold the straw on the handle. Cover this part of the broom with an old stocking, which is tacked to the handle securely by sewing it around two or three times with a double thread. Legs of old stockings are cut twelve inches long with these strips cut leaving a band two inches wide to sew to the covering of the broom. Sew them round and round the surface in rows about an inch apart, until the mop has been made the desired thickness. Dip the mop into a solution made of one-half a cupful of melted paraffin and one cupful of coal oil. When the mop is not in use, it must be wrapped up and kept in a paper bag in order to keep it moist. FOLDING CANNING TABLE
