MAGAZINE PAGE. Washington Anniversary Quilt ' NATURE’S BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. THE WASHINGTON PAVEMENT PATTER! FECTIVE BORDER FOR THE 4 HE Washington anniversary| quilt is one of peculiar inter- est for homemakers in this| year of 1932, during which is celebrated the 200th anniversary of the birthday of the Father of Our Country. This quilt has been developed especially for readers of this paper. The square shown today is used as a border. It is a historic pattern called the Washington pavement. It is also sometimes called Philadelphia pave- ment. As the latter city was our first | National Capital, and there Washing- ton delivered his farewell address to the people of the United States, to call | the pattern by either name associates 1t distinctly with Washington. | The pavement pattern comes in full size. Oddly enough, the number of blocks required for a square is 13 which is a magical number in Ameri- can history, since the United States began with 13 Colonies. Besides these 13 blocks there are 16 half blocks and 4 large pavement blocks. The Washington pavement pattern 1s one of the simplest and easiest to make of all the patchwork designs. It is also one of the extremely interest- ing designs. Each square is complete in itself, and can be made with “patches” so large that one square is' big enough for a sofa cushion or chai seat. or smaller squares can be com- bined for these purposes. Or a square can be so small that one is sufficient for a little pincushion to stand on an antique bureau. Pincushions were indespensable dressing table acces- sories, their vogue had not waned at the time when quilts were “comforters™” and coverlets, also for beds. ‘Washington pavement squares can be JOLLY POLLY A Lesson in English.

SHAGBARK HICKORY (Hicoria ovata). ANG your clothes on a hick- ory tree and don’t go near the water” may have been excellent advice, and while the tree prefers moist, rich soil in which to grow, there is no evi- dence to show that hickory trees are to_be found close to “swimmin’ holes.” Hickory trees have a wide range and were once a familiar sight in every| State east of the Mississippi and in | many States of the western side of the river. After several hundred years of mistreatment, the hickory is still listed as valuable timber in 32 States. It is a slow grower, it's yield per acre low, but it is long-lived, will reproduce itself by seed or sprout and does not mind dense shade. It often grows to 120 feet high, the trunk is straight, the branches angular and the arms flexible. Out- lined against the Winter's sky, you are impressed with the grace and sturdi- ress of the tree. While the nuts have commercial value, it is the strong, elastic wood, with its shock-resisting and toughness that has made it the most valuable wood for vehicles, agricultural imgrements, | wheels, tool handles and sled runners. | In late April the buds shed their black Winter overcoats, the inner glossy silk Spring coat is then exposed. | These buds glisten in the sunlight like 5o meny lighted candles on the up- turned twigs. As the bud grows and | spreads, the satin clothed leaves ap- | ar. The large scales turn back, much like the iris sepals, and the rich yel- low and orange tones covered with a | mist of color are revealed. These leaves have been mistaken for the | flowers. ‘They, however, are greenish, hanging from flexible catkins in groups of threes from a common stem at the | base of rew shoots. ‘The tree is lovely now in her beau- comes the tree’s godmother, the Wind: comes the tree’s godmother, the Wind, she shakes the poilen out of the stam- inate catkins and the inconspicuous | green nut flowers which are clustered in the tips of the leafy shoots, eagerly |await with widespread stigmas, the life- ghving golden dust.

Woman’s H-Q Higher These Days Happiness Quotient | DorothyDix| a Problem, DISTINGUISHED psychologist has been making a series of ex- i periments to determine which of the sexes has the better time in life, and from the data thus obtained she has concluded that women have a higher happiness quotieit than men. ‘This will be startling news to women who are firmly sold on the belief that this is a man’s world and that men get most of the lucky breaks in it. In fact, so convinced are women that woman was born to weep, as the old song says, and that women generally get the hot end of things, that most of them spend their lives in a maudlin state of self- pity. Indubitably women have cheered up & lot in the last 50 years and are no longer the tear-sodden individuals they were in the days when it was considered good form for a perfect lady to be sad and melancholy and never to indulge in anything more than a pensive smile, but, for all of that, and the findings of science to the contrary notwithstanding, I do not believe that women are as happy &s men are. Lls‘nm-m on any group of men talking together, and they will be discussing business or sports or telling each other funny tales. Listen-in on any group of women talking together and nine times out of ten they will be telling each other their troubles. Let grief or misfor- tune come to a man and his one thought is to get away from it, to forget it as quickly as possible, so he goes out and mingles with his fellow crea- tures, and tries by every means in his power to divert himself from his own gloomy thoughts, But a woman cherishes her sorrows and turns the knife in her wound 80 85 to keep it bleeding. She shrouds herself in depressing black and shuts out the sunlight and avoids all cheerful companionship and doing anything that could lighten her depression. NOR is it to be gainsaid that women have a lot less to be cheerful over than men have. This is true from the cradle to the grave. Begin with looks. It doesn't matter a rap whetlher a boy has a classical profile and soulful eyes and a slim and willowy figure or not. He can be as homely as the proverbial mud fence and if he is intelligent and has an agreeable personality he can be a wow with the girls and marry whom he chooses. But let a girl have a snub nose and carrotty hair and freckles and a dumpy figure, and it is the mourners’ bench for her, no matter what moral and spiritual charms she possesses. No dates. No parties. No cut-ins at dances for her. Laugh that off if you can. THE'N there is the career problem. Every girl who gets a bread-and- butter job emits thiee ringing cheers, she is that glad to be financially independent and not a burden on poor Pa. But she soon finds out that she has to do twice as good work as a boy would in the same position for half the pay he would get, and that isn't so terribly funny. The only really good joke about the working woman is that she is popularly sup- posed to pound a typewriter or stand behind a counter eight hours a day Just for a light divertissement. and that she doesn't need the money she gets in her pay envelope. That's a scream, if you like, only women are so deficient in a sense of humor that they don't see the point of it. It is not for me to dispute the findings of a scientist. Perhaps it is true that women have a higher happiness quotient than men. If they have, it is because God created Mother Eve out of Adam's funny bone instead of his rib. DOROTHY DIX.

She was lost in the forest! Dropping to the ground, the unhappy woman wept. As she lay there she heard the sound of some one walking through the forest. Terror seized her heart. It was an Indian! The warrior came close, and then made a sign which seemed to mean, “Come with me.” Mrs. McDougal arose and followed the man until he reached the entrance of a wigwam. There she was greeted by the warrior's wife. The Indians did not know hew to speak English, and SHE REALIZED THAT SHE WAS LOST. white woman was by signs.
