Checkerboard and Other Weaves BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. | HAIRLINE AND CHECKERBOARD WEAVES AS THEY APPEAR ON FRAME LOOMS WHEN THE WEAVING IS CONTRASTING COLORS. ‘The article on hand-loom weaving of holders and hot-dish mats met with so ready a response from readers that I am printing today further directions requested. The first article gives rules for making simple frame looms ade- quate to the weaving, directions for E&ln, elementary weaving, and how to troduce bands of contrasting color. ‘The article today is on checkerboard and other plaid weaves. All weaves in which checks or plaids in contrasting color must have PARTLY DONE. NOTE THE USE OF color.

A hairline check consists of single strands of color, so spaced in warp and weft tigat they cross at dis- tances to form squares in the weaye. Thread the loom as follows: Four or more threads of ground or main color, one thread of contrasting color. Repeat warping thus across the loom or for the width desired for the textile. ‘The last group.of warp strands should be in the ground color. Be sure to double the first and last warp strands. ‘This makes a firm selvedge.

Retiring late one night, he slept soundly for a time and then awakened. His room was lighted by the moon, ‘which shone in gh a southern window. He could see quite distinctly. Suddenly his eyes were drawn toward panels of a cupboard in the wall. On them he saw a form appearing. Dim at first, it grew stronger and until he the figure and face of his grandmother. He was struck by the fact that the tgp-rmun wore an old-fashioned go- phered bonnet. He did not think that anything su- pernatural was occurring. “It is just an illusion due to the moonlight,” he told himself, quite undisturbed. The figure faded away, he turned over, and went to sleep again. At the breakfast table the next morn- ing he remembered his experience and began relating it to his father and mother. To his surprise, his father be- came agitated and hastily left the table. “Why, what's the matter?” the young man asked his mother. She motioned to him to be silent. But when the door closed behind the elder Tweedale she said: “Charles, I am going to tell you the strangest story I ever heard. This morning, before you came down, your father told me that he awoke in the night and saw his mother standing by his bedside. He saw her plainly. But WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD.

These ends may form a coarse fringe or tape can be sewed along final row or weft and be felled down flat to the mat. The surface of the weave that is uppermost during the weaving is gen- erally considered to be the right side of the textile, although both sides really are alike. For checkerboard weave warp the loom alternately with equal numbers of warp strands of the two contrasting colors. Weave alternate colors of weft threads for distances equal to these spaces, changing color as soon as a Tow of squares of one color has been made across the loom. The number of weft threads of each color that is | used to form the first square or check must be used throughout the weave. For instance, if it takes eight weft strands to equal the four warp-color strands, continue to change color after each eight strands have been woven.

Then how will you run with the horses? If you have not been equal to the easy competition with footmen, how will you keep up with the gallop of cavalry?

CRAIG. April 28, 1865.—While the manner of the death of J. Wilkes Booth, assassin of President Lincoln, was at first a “disappointment to the public,” accord- ing to statements in the press today, it has “in some respects a peculiar fit- It was pointed out by The Evening Star this afternoon that instead of making a brilliant escape Booth was hunted—crippled and starved—{rom swamp to swamp in Southern Mary- land, and, at last, exhausted by ex- posure and hunger, died an ignominious death three days ago, being shot as he tried to escape from a burning barn in Virginia near the Rappahannock River. “It is best that he should have passed beyond human passion as he did,” says The Star. “What excitement, perhaps disturbances of the peace, have been arrested can only be surmised, but that he could have been quietly judged and punished, with the hot spirits of the people thirsting for his blood, requires an almost unattainable faith in human forbearance.” ‘ David C. Herold—at first spelled Har- rold in the official dispatches—accom- plice of Booth, who was captured alive, is about 22 years old, and for most of his life has lived in the sixth ward in this city, where, after he left school at Charlotte Hall, St. Marys County, Md., he went to work in a drug store. His late father for many years held a re- sponsible position in the Washington Navy Yard. Young Herold last Summer left the drug store of Dr. F. S. Walsh, where he had been employed for a considerable time, and tried to get an appointment as a surgeon’s steward on the Potomac Flotilla, but he failed in this attempt. Since then he has been out of employ- ment, but is said to have been living in a “flashy” style. He has always been known as a Southern sympathizer. ‘Tremendous public curiosity prevails as to the disposition of the remains of Booth, which have been brought to this city. It seems that the authorities are not inclined to give his remains the honor of being viewed by the public. ‘The body will probably be deposited in some place that promises the greatest obscurity. A photograph of Booth’s body was taken here yesterday before it was re- moved from the monitor. It was then placed in an ordinary gray Army blanket and sewed up in it. A plain wooden box in the shape of a casket had been prepared for it, but the au- thorities decided not to use it. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

How Husband Regards His Better Half DorothyDix| z. Many a Woman Is Miserable With a Good, Kind Husband Simply Because He Forces on Her a Role for Which She Is Not Fitted. WWHEN the average man marries he treats his wife the way he wishes to treat her instead of in the way in which she desires to be treated. This causes a lot of the matrimonial trouble of which we hear so much and leads to many and many a divorce. It is curious, but true, that very few men ever visualize their wives as human beings, with thoughts and tastes and temperament of their own and an indi- vidual purpose in life. Most men see their wives as what they want them to be. Cooksdmslllvea. Savings banks. Angels. Playthings. And they deal with them accordingly. The man who thinks of his wife as a cook feels that he has done his full duty toward her when he installs her in a kitchen and presents her with a patent gas range and a full set of new aluminum ware, and he thinks that she can ask nothing more of marriage than having a good home and a husband who is a good provider. And it never occurs to him that his wife yearns to be regarded as a Lady Love and not as a useful household utensil and that she may hate and loathe cooking just as much as he would barbering, carpentering or bookkeeping or any other occupation for which ne. lu.d no ?lt\l.l’l.l aptitude. THE man who thinks of his wife as a slave considers that belonging to him is blessing enough for any woman and that she cannot possibly ask for any greater diversion than the privilege of serving him. Having this great joy in ‘her life, he thinks it is outrageous of her to expect to be taken out to any place of amusement or to have any money given her as wages for her hard work. He never realizes that his wife may have an independent soul that makes it gall and wormwood for her to have to go to him for every penny and that marriage is dust and ashes in her teeth because of his petty tyrannies and because she has no personal liberty. ‘The man who regards his wife as a savings bank thinks she gets a kick out of pinching nickels and nursing dimes and that she flies on winged feet 40 blocks to a mark-down sale or a cut-rate butcher shop. He thinks she gets a greater thrill out of knowing there is $50 more in the bank than she ‘would out of a new dress or a trip to Europe. It never occurs to him that wife may not have the miser complex and that she dies of envy of the women who have generous husbands who give them pretty things and that in her secret soul she despises him as a tightwad. The man who looks upon his wife as an angel belleves that she possesses some miraculous power that enables her to forgive and forget all his sins against her and to love him still, no matter how drunken, how no-account, how un- faithful he may be to her. It never occurs to him that his wife didn't marry to get a weakling or a phgandem;h for a mate, but that she wants a husband whom she can honor and respec! " The man who wants a plaything in a wife thinks that all he has to do to make his wife perfectly happy is to doll her up in finery and to take her around to places of amusement and relieve her of all responsibility. It doesn't occur to him that his wife may have a heart and brain and resent being regarded as & moron and long to be treated as an equal and a companion by her husband. e ON!: wife, whose husband treats her as a toy, said to me the other day: “What can you do with a husband who is good and kind and generous but who has the child-wife complex and who treats you as if you were a 3-year- old baby and not very bright at that? My husband runs me and runs the house. He orders all of the food. He chooses my clothes. He picks out my amusements according to whether they are good for me instead of whether I enjoy them or not. He even dictates what I shall eat and I have to c;lrrozu or my good spinach or else I can't have any dessert, or words to effect. “He has two cars, but do T drive one? No, I am such a ‘careless baby’ that while other wives are scooting about I am home doing my half-hour of instructive reading. When husband is away for a few hours, can I d6 what I please? Guess again. My lord and master has left me parting injunctions: ‘Now, Baby, remember what I have said. You are to be home early. You are such a forgetful child. Please remember carefully, won't you, Little One?’ “All is tenderness, but I have to toe the mark and I am dragged away from parties just as things get going. At 9:30 I retire for the night and am tucked in by my jailer. Everything I do is supervised. Of course, it is all love, but I'd rather he would give me a black eye because that would at least show that he regarded me as an equal. “I am only @ baby and when I to talk to him he is slightly amused and partly annoyed, and if I resent it lves me a new party dress. Yet I am an intelligent woman. At least I could be if I had a chance. “Now I love my husband, but there are times when this constant babying gets on my nerves. Then I sit on his lap while he reads. Ugh! What a life! And what’s to be done about it?” I don’t know, but many a woman besides you is miserable with a good, kind husband simply because he forces on her a role for whlcgolhe is not fitted.

Unflattering Light. ‘We have often been told by French decorators that we should place our dressing tables against windows, so that the bright light of day would shine on our faces while we went through the rites of dressing. The trouble is, we like air so much that we begrudge the space in front of a window to the dressing table. Of course, some of us hate to see selves in this bright glare of daylight. ‘We prefer to see ourselves in the rather subdued light that we get with our dressing tables placed against a win- dowless wall. The objection to taking up the air may be obviated if we have one of the small dressing tables that fold into such compace space that t.hefl may be tucked away in any corner when we are not using them. These little dressing tables are truly a delight for the dweller in small places. They are so pretty, too; so0 frivolous and feminine looking that any woman would like to own one. And the great beauty of them is that you can place them in front of the low when you use them and then beh a door or in any other unused spot when you are through with them. Egg and Potato Salad. Se four—Two hard-cooked eggs, diced; one cupful diced potatoes, half cupful diced celery, two tablespoonfuls finely chopped onions, one-quarter tea- spoonful salt, one-quarter teaspoonful paprika, one-third cupful salad dressing and two tablespoonfuls chopped dill pickles.

Should they, these women ask, be guided accordingly? ‘Women who invest their money, and truly invest it, are not concerned greatly by fluctuating stock prices. They may own a mioderate portion of common stock, but even so they are not in a position where they must sell. Therefore, the ups and downs of the stock market need not concern them overmuch. If the bulk of their funds s in good securities and seasoned pre- ferred stocks, or investments of that type, market conditions are of lttle moment to them. The trends in the stock market con- cern those chiefly who trade actively, directly on what the market “does.” No woman investor should interpret the news of a series of price “reces- sions,” “setbacks,” “declines” or what- ever they may be called, as meaning that she should sell her investments and hold her money in abeyance for favorable omens.

When funds are safely and soundly invested there is no temptation to disturb them. A dollar in a bond is worth two in the checkbook, so to speak. Know what is happening in the com- panies in which your money is invested, and follow trade and business condi- tions. If a serious market condition develops, be ready to meet it, and ad- minister your investments wisely. But do not feel that a trader’s worries are yours; or that you must everlastingly try to hold your investments at the low- est possible price. More money is lost than gained in attempting just that.

Rumford rises the right amount at the right time!? UMFORD leavens twice. Each leavening makes dough or batter rise just the right amount at the right time to assure perfect results. Rumford starts its work when you mix it. You can tell by the light- ness of Rumford dough or batter. When you put it in the oven it is two-thirds leavened. The remaining one-third takes place in the heat of the oven. That’s why Rumford is called the Two-to-One Leavener difference.
