WOMAN’S PAGE. Making Patchwork Into Quilts BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. PUT THE QUILT IN A Now, that patchwork quilts are so much in the limelight of modern house- hold accessories, and women are make ing the decorative patchwork squares, there is a demand to know how to make the finished patchwork into quilts. Just how, for instance, is the quilt put into a frame and what are the frames, and how is the work actually done? Before the quilt'ng begins there must be three portions ready to complete the “comforter,” namely, patchwork top, the lining and the interlining. The best interlining is wool wadding, but cotton batting can be used. Spread the lining on an extension dining room table, a bed, or on floor. Cover smoothly with the interlining and tack It here and there with basting threads. Lay the patchwork top above the wad- ding and smooth it down over it, so that all Jines are absolutely even with the squared edges of the lining. Tack this top to the two other portions already ted correctly. In olden times a quilting frame was essential for the work, Today curtain stretchers can be substituted, or four strips of wood, two as long as the quilt and the other two the width of it. Use large clamps for fastening cor- ners together. It is important to have the corners perfect right-angles. ‘Tack of the quilt prepared 8s described to ‘the frame, or press them down firmly the pins, euru.ln mm' ‘:hn used. wm be troublesome. vered FRAME AS DESCRIBED. ering materials.

The work should be so planned that consecutive time can be given to the stitchery. Do not imagine doing it at one time, but on consecutive days. In the interims between periods of work the frame can remain resting on“Waw horses, if the worker is 5o fortunate as to have them, and can spare a room or space in a garage, so that moving it can be avoldes The frame can be rested on tables or chair backs.

' Do not imagine the work is difficult to get at, even in the center of the quilt, for the huge quilts of olden timesare not made. Flower Trimmings for Dresses BY MARY Among the first devices of feminine adornment were wreaths and garlands of flowers—real flowers picked, sup- , by charming young women of e most primitive ort, ages before A NEW FRENCH EVENING DRESS SHOWS ARMLETS OF SMALL ROSES APFLIED TO BANDS OF BEON WORN ROUND THE ARMS D HELD IN PLACE BY SARROW RIBBON ATTACHED TO THE DRESS UNDER THE ARMS. they had even devised words by which to designate the sweet blossoms assem- | bled in taeir wreaths and garlands. Of course, there is no way of knowing when or where flowers were first used to enhance the beauty of women, but 1t 15 safe to assume that the use of flow- ers in this way is very old and very general, So naturally when our ancestors ac- quired skill in making ornaments of a mnre lasting sort they hit upon the idea of using flowers as their models. | Gold and other metals were wrought | into flower forms to make bracelets end crowns and necklaces, and woven Zabrics were cut and twisted and col- DAILY DIET RECIPE SARDINES AUX OEUFS, Bardines, 1 can Hard boiled eggs, 4.
