WOMA N’S PAGE’ Quilting as a Means of Decoration BY MARY Every woman who is interested in new developments in so-called “art needlwork™ doubtless knows by this time the difference between Italian quilting and the usual sort of quilting. With the latter sort the padding is applied as a sort of interlining and the quilt- ing stitches are taken through it. With —— ITALIAN QUILTING IN A SIMPLE LADDER DESIGN PROVIDES AT- TRACTIVE TRIMMING FOR THIS LITTLE JACKET OF BEIGE FLAT | CREPE. | Italian quilting the stitches are taken through the outside plece of material | and the thin lining, to form narrow | channels or tubes through which the padding is run—the padding being wool | yarn. If the lines of the padding are | ‘practically nothing. If you would like a MARSHALL. the lines are close together, then single strands of finer wool are used. This sort of quilting has been used to decorate bedspreads, coverlets and cushion tops for some time, and some of the important dressmakers and mil- liners have recently used it to orna- ment silk hats and wraps. There are little jackets of light-toned georgette with the padding done with colored wool which shows through the geor- | gette just enough to produce a charm- ing color contrast where the quilting is | done. Evening capes and short hip-length jackets are sometimes \finished with straight bands of the quilting and sometimes with scroll design, which gives an excellent display of fine hand quilting. Negliges and lounging robes are also ornamented in this way, and a very attractive pajama suit I saw the other day had rows of the quilting around the cuffs and edges of the jacket and along the lower edge of the pajamas, making them stand out a little at the ankles. This week’s circular tells how to do | the new Italian quilting used extensive- 1y this season for ornamenting little jackets.

By midnight all the members of the party were drunk and good natured, but they knew what they were there for and told the prisoner that they still intended to hang him. The prisoner tried to argue his cap- | tors out of the notion and they wrangled for an hour with him: they wanted to | make him admit that they were right in their determination to hang him but he was stubborn and contended that, though he had taken the horse, it really belonged to him, and he could prove it.

May 10, 1860.—A heavy rain today is proving to be quite beneficial to vari- ous parts of the city by washing away filth and dirt from localities that have suffered much from these nuisances for | a long time. 'The part of Pennsylvania avenue that is suffering most from de- | posits of mud and sand, washed down | from the northern ridge, is at Thir- teenth street. The mud is piling up there and is rapidly becoming ankle deep. At this point and other places on Pennsylvania avenue where the rain | is_ washing_down soil from the ridge iaborers will be put to work as soon | as the rain ceases, to make the streets | passable for pedestrians without the | risk of being mired. | "In political circles here there is a | lively interest in the news from Balti- | more today that the Constitutional Un- | ion convention has nominated John Bell for President and Edward Everett | for Vice President. Though regarded as two of the most respectable gen- tlemen of the land, the feeling here is that they will be unable to bring to the aid of their cause a single vote outside of their strictest party organization. Their political friends here with one accord, however much they esteem and admire them personally, are chagrined by their nomination beyond expression. The belief is that the convention, in making these nominations, has thrown away its only chance of success, which was _to run its nominees into a contest in_the House and Representatives. It is regarded as utterly impossible that Bell and Everett can carry a single vote in any slave-holding State beyond their narrowest party strength, and it is believed that they can by no means carry that, if the Democracy runs two tickets in the South. as one or the other ticket, supported by the Democracy, will doubtless swallow up much of the Constitutional Union party. In _the North it is expected that Bell and Everett will fail under any circum- stances to win a single electoral vote. It is not apparent how they can in any way weaken the Republican party. Even in the event of the failure of the current efforts to bring the Charles- ton Democratic convention _together again at Baltimore, upon which prob- ably depends the question of whether there shall be two Democratic tickets in the field in nearly every Northern State, it is not believed that Bell and Everett can get within sight of a con- test in the House of Representatives.

All Mr. Robidou knows is that he went away with his captors and was still arguing that though he took the horse it belonged to him and he could prove it.

[ HAWKINS ted on 18th Street” Dec. 3320 sworth KERS Whole Wheat is used with fresh milk, that is, all of the possibilities of the many uses of milk. Small amounts of sour milk may be used instead of fresh in making muf- fins, biscuits, griddle cakes or other hot breads, or for cakes, nut bread or gingerbrea Sometimes the milk may be - left disturbed until it has thickened or “clabbered” when it can be used in much’ the same way as junket. This is a wholesome food and when served with little sugar and some fresh fruit it makes an ideal warm weather luncheon dish. Larger amounts of sour milk may be made into cottage cheese, or pot cheese, as it is sometimes called. When sour milk is used instead of fresh milk for baking some baking soda must be used to neutralize the acid of the sour milk. has the same effect as when baking powder it lightens or raises the mixture. If the milk .is very thick or sour, one level teaspoon of soda will be required for each cup. If it is not thick, it is better to allow only one-half teaspoon of soda. Since too much soda causes a bitter flavor and the appearance of brown spots or specks in the cake, biscuiis or muffins, the very safest policy to follow, if you are an inexverienced cook, is to use one-fourth teaspoon of soda for each cup of sour milk and to add two teaspoons of baking pow- der for each cup of flour that is used. The use of sour cream is a little different. Generally speaking, there are likely to be smaller amounts of cream on hand than milk. One of the best ways of using this is in salad dressing. One-third cup of sour cream, a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of lemon juice makes a delicious dress- ing for shredded raw cabbage. One- fourth cup of sour cream mixed with an equal amount of mayonnaise and flavored with a little 'emon juice and sugar makes an excellent sddition to fruit salad. A rather unusual sauce for asparagus, brocoli, string beans or carrots is made by mixing together one-half cup of sour cream, two well beaten egg yolks and one-} alf te n of salt. This is stir- red constantly over hot water until it begins to thicken. Then remcve from the fire and add one tablespoon of lemon juice a little at a time, Stir GIVE CURTAINS new smariness -~ with TINTE 2 +..

JOHN R. GUNN. Beware of Flatterers. ‘Text—Meddle not with him that flat- tereth with his lips."—Proverbs, xx.19. “Flatterers are the worst kind of enemies,” says Tacitus. Another cails the flatterer “a beast that biteth smil- Allow no flatterer to deceive you with his false protestation of friendship. It is not friendship that inspires his flat- | tery, but sordid selfishness. Over-ex- tolling your abilities and virtues, he is merely appealing to your pride in order to enlist your personal favor or aid for some selfish ends of his own. But the worst danger of flattery lies in another direction. Its chief danger | was indicated by Sir Walter R!leighj when he said: “Flatterers are the worst { kind of traitors, for they will strengthen | thy imperfections, encourage thee in all evils, correct thee in nothing, but so shadow and paint thy follies and vices as thou shalt never, by their will, dis- cover good from eyil or vice from vir- tue.” It was this that Solomon had in mind when he said, “A flattering mouth worketh ruin.” A wise man can usually detect when he is being flattered. Some one has said, “As a wolf resembles a dog, o doth a flatterer a friend.” Neverthe- less the flatterer usually betrays him- self by his fulsomeness. He is usually so obsequious and full of protestations that you have no difficulty in distin- guishing him. Yet one needs to be ex- ceedingly careful lest he be deceived. Unless we are on our guard, the flat- terer may very easily deceive us by playing upon our pride and vanity. We will appreciate sincere com- mendation. An honest commendation is always an encouragement to us, and in- spires us to nobler endeavor. We do well to prize the expressed apprecia- tion of true friends. But let us learn to beware of flatterers. Everyday Law Cases Is Radio Broadcasting a Public Utility? BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Being beautiful is more a habit than you imagine. If you get yourself into good habits, such as caring for the complexion last thing every night and going over the finger nails every da: and brushing the hair until it g obediently into the nice lines you like, you'll be 50 per cent better looking in a menth, than if you slipped into care- less habits and only treated yourself | spasmodically. These things should be done every | 24 hours—a bath with warm water and soap; a quick going over of the nails, bleaching stains, making a fresh edge with an emery board; a thorough cleasing of the skin, face and neck and elbows, every night: a quick but stimulating massage of the scalp with the fingers, or with a tonic. This takes care of hair, face, hands, elbows, and such outside good-health treatments as you can most easily give yourself. In addition, you must give proper attention to diet, to drinking enough water each day to keep liver and kidneys healthy and you must take mild laxatives if these seem necessary. This is all. If you are getting too stout, reduce. If you are too thin, find out the cause and rectify it. If you are anaemic, see a doctor and take a tonic. If you've a double chin, rub with ice: if you've wrinkles, rub the face daily with ice to smooth these out.
