‘woMm Weaving Done AN’S PAGE. Without a Loom BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. IN THIS BAG BOTH HEAVY STRANDS AND FINE ONES HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE WEAVE. ‘Weaving without a loom is one of the simplest kinds of needlecraft. Threads introduced appear to be actually loom woven. As a matter of fact, they are introduced precisely to the thread of the machine design. A straight weave may appear to have a colored thread inwoven, or a fancy weave can look as if a border section was done in a con- trasting color. Yet so simple is the process that any one can do the work. It is when patterns are brought out that a distinctly novel note is struck. ‘The process is an old one revived and has of late years been employed espe- cialy in the embroidery of handker- chiefs. A colored thread, corresponding in fineness with that of the strands of a weave in which it is to be introduced, is knotted securely to the end of a thread in the textile, wherever the worker wants the color to appear. Then, very carefully, the thread of the textile is drawn out. As this is withdrawn, the new thread follows exactly the same line of weaving, and is really, therefore, woven in without a loom being re- quired. If the textile has straight right-angle cross-threads, there will be no pattern other than a pin line of contrasting hue. A single line often suffices, or a row of | te lines may form a band. These bands may be grouped and be of differing | widths and even of different colors. Generally, it is wise to leave one strand of the textile weave between each row of the drawn-in interweaving. In other words, introduce the colored strands in every other thread of weav- ing and not in every one. This should be remembered, especially when making borders of many indrawn threads. If the textile is one with a pattern, it may be necessary to have consecutive threads replaced by the in-drawn con- trasting one, for so only can the design be reproduced precisely in the new colo:. ‘The textile selected for this non-loom weaving should be firm, but not tightly woven. Both warp and weft must be strong, although the weave may be fine, as in handkerchief linen. Round-thread linen is best of all, such as comes for embroidery. It is excellent for napery and for bags. I have made attractive bags and table scarfs of a high grade of burlap, ornamenting it with this thread drawn work. A heavy thread can be introduced in the weave effectively. This requires two or four threads to be withdrawn, according to the size of thread to be introduced. In this way the regular run of the threads of the weave is not in- rrupted. (Copyrisht, 1929.) A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT FDR almost 40 years Francis Emroy ‘Warren has been a member of the United States Senate. Seven times have the people of Wyoming gone to the polls and named him as their representa- tive. He now has the distinction of being not only the oldest man in the Senate, but the oldest in point of service as well. June 20 he will celebrate his zllhty-flfl,h birth: . ite his ad- vanced age Senator Warren's interest in national affairs is as keen as it was when he entered the Senate 39 years ago. He still is an indefatigable worker. He keeps long hours. He is awake until all hours of the night reading legislative reports. And he is known on Capitol Hill as ;.!u man who never has time for recrea- ion, Few have lived more colorful lives than the Republican Senator from Wy- oming. ‘Wyoming was a part of the Territory of Dakota when Senator Warren left the village of Hinsdale, Mass., and started West in quest of his fortune. ‘That was back in 1868—a year after the first structure of any kind had been commenced in Cheyenne, his goal. He had been through the Civil War as a corporal and had won the Con- gressional Medal of Honor for gallantry under fire of the Confederate troops at Port Hudson, La. He was still under 20 years of age ‘when he struck out for the West. ‘The State of Wyoming perhaps does not realize how nearly it came to losing its most distinguished ecitizen to its neighbor, Towa. ‘oung Warren, with very little money, was working his way westward. friend had offered him a position near Des Moines as foreman of a construc- tion crew on the Rock Island Railroad. He had been on the job only a few days when another friend wrote him asking him to come to Cheyenne to manage a mercantile store. The Cheyenne friend ‘was 1n bad health. He needed some one he_could trust. ‘Warren was in a quandary. It was necessary that he make a decision im- ‘mediately. . ‘Torn ~between two loyalties, he reached in his pocket for a coin. fipped it and two days later reported in Cheyenne ready for work. Prom that time to the present his lot has been cast with Wyoming. In the very beginning he acquired the Western method and flavor. He saw Wyoming created first a Ter- ritory and then a State. Arthur ap- pointed him Governor of the Territory in 1885. Cleveland removed him, and Harrison reappointed him. He was the last Governor of the Territory and the first Governor of the State. In 1890 he was elected to the United States Senate. He has been returned every election since. Senator Warren is one of the most picturesque figures on the floor of the Senate, His hair is snow-white. He wears a snow-white mustache, He is as straight as an arrow in carriage despite his 85 years. He never attempts oratory, but in his speecifes he is direct, incisive and busi- nesslike in his presentation of fact and argument. His friends are as numerous on the Democratic side as on the Republican. The United States Supreme Court 1s to have a beautiful new home on Capitol Hill, but one of the historic buildings of Washington will be sacri- ficed to make room for it.

The Capitol building and practically all other Federal structures in the city were burned. There had to be a ,)llae where gov- ernment could be administered. ‘There were many in favor of moving the seat of Government to some other city. It was argued that Washington had been defiled by an invading force, the city rendered helpless, and was in aonks:nt danger of again being at- cked. But there were as many who opposed removal of the Capitol from the spot selected by Washington himself. And among this number was John Law. i John Law owned much property in the vicinity of the Capitol. He, more than any other, wanted to have 7 Washin re- i main the Capital !

Congress held sessions there until December 7, 1819, when the Capitol had been rebuilt sufficiently to provide a meeting place for the body. Everyday Law Cases | What Is the Duty of a Guest in l Automobile as to His Safety? BY 1HE COUNSELLOR. Returning home from a dance late at night, Samuel West fell asleep in the automobile which was being driven by his friend, Henry Randall. West was familiar with the road, but Ran- dall was not, although the former did | not know this fact. | Approaching a curve, Randall found it too abrupt to take and he was about | to drive into an adjoining fleld when he saw a telephone pole in his way. Realizing that he could not pass the pole, Randall endeavored to drive around the curve and in doing so | struck the pole, West being uflounly} injured by the impact. On the ground that the telephone company had negligently and clrelmlyt located & pole at a turn in the road | in a position to be dangerous to travelers, West sued the company for $50,000 damages for his injuries. The company’s defense was that if West had not been asleep, the accident would not have happened, as he was familiar with the dangerous curve. It was con- tributory negligence on his part, there- fore, not to have warned the driver. ‘West obtained a verdict of $6,000 damages, the court stating: “The general rule is that s person riding in an automobile driven by another is not absolved from all per- sonal care for his own safety, but is under the duty to exercise reasonable or ordinary care to avoid injury.

Nancy was so glad that her family liked vegetables. She was canny enough to know, however, that much of their liking came from the way in which she cooked and served the vege- tables. She did not overcook them, drown them in water and send them to the table a poor discouraged looking S DTN \ 71 \ N A\ W N\ =l — B — 7 T 7 affair with no color, no perkiness, no flavor. First of all, she tried to buy the freshest vegetables in the market. She looked for those which had a fresh color and some bloom left on the pod or outer skin. She broke a string bean to see whether there was any snap left in the pod. She chose peas with pods that were comfortably filled and with a fresh green color. She took a me- dium size vegetable every time in pref- erence to the under or over developed kind. When the vegetables were home she either put them in water until she was ready to use them or set them in a cool place. She put them over to cook in small COOKING or VEGETAPLLS amounts of boiling, salted water. She never used soda, either to keep the green color or to hasten the cooking. Soda does bad things to vitamins in vegetables, and since we eat vegetables to get those vitamins it seems foolish to destroy there efficacy. She discovered that cooking in a covered pan made the vegetable less green. The confined steam faded the green color. By the time the vegetable was tender the water in which it had been cooking was almost entirely absorbed and the vegetables were still perky. They had not grown limp and discouraged looking. In serving them Nancy often made combination vegetable plates, in which color contrasts were charming—dark green pepper, red tomato, golden brown French fried potatoes, ~pale green string beans or peas. And she avolded pasty white cream sauces, often using a soft yellow Hollandaise instead. (Copyright, 1920.) Willie Willis “I ain’t got mumps.

Sir Robert Walpole, Alexander Pope, according to And was, besides, a tyrant to his wife.” S8ir Robert had made the wealthy cause his estate was impoverished. And while the prime minister indulged his tastes he left his wife free to follow her fancies. She moved in a circle of her own. To this is attributed the story—which blographers do not openly credit, but which they always repeat—that not Sir Robert, but Carr, Lord Hervey, was the father of the celebrated Horace Wal- pole, whose memoirs and letters have given us a perfect picture of eighteenth century life, entitling him to be called the chronicler of his age, and giving him a unique and distinctive position in literature. People hinted that Sir Robert was actually dishonest. It was charged that in building a palace on his old estate of Houghton he used public money.

I have never been taught in my classes in dietetics not to serve these two together, and I myself know of no reason why the presence of one would hinder the di- gestion of the other. I am at present dietitian in a school of boys from 8 to 18, most of whom are underweight, and _the nurse in charge has objected to fish ever being served at a meal where milk is given.

The only point to be thought of is that both these foods are -protein foods, so the rest of the meal might be low in protein.

It amounts to just so much self-confidence such as a society woman or a successful business man enjoys. ‘You must be popular with yourself be- fore you can make much of a hit with other people.
