S E N o3z — THE STORY OF WASHINGTON AND THE CHERRY TREE IS RECALLED IN THESE GAY MINIATURE TREES, FULL OF CHERRIES, WHICH ARE EASILY PIECED TOGETHER FOR CHERRY TREE should certainly be conspicuous in the Wash- ington anniversary quilt, which is developed for readers of this paper. You will remember that the Washington pavement was given Jast week, and if you have squares of this design already made you have a historic start The cherry tree design is an entirely new quilt pattern. It is a convention- alized design, worthy of the old-time quilt makers, who set so high a stand- ard for future generations of textile craftswomen. In a later design the hatchet so dramatically associated with Washington and the cherry tree will | be brought out, but first the cherry tree must be ready for the hatchet. So here it is: ! This quaint cherry tree is as tempt- | ing to a quilt maker's scissors as was | the original cherry tree to little George | Washington's hatchet. Quilt makers | do their cutting to prepare for the fashioning of the tree and the felling | of it. They will need textiles of four | colors to cut—red for the parts which | represent cherries, green for those | which give the follage effect and the | triangle of green grass, brown for the | tree trunk and branches, and blue for | the background sky around the tree | and between branches. Or the back- ground can be white instead of blue if | one prefers. A pleasing effect is to | have alternate squares, one with a blue and the other with a white background. | This is particularly good when an en- | tire quilt is made of the cherry tree | squares, for a border either of the blue | or white can be used, or both in com- | bination | The Washington anniversary quilt | consists of a series of bands or borders | composed of patterned squares sepa- Star Patterns Bib-Collared Frock.

By alternating patchwork squares with plain stripes the designs are brought out to advantage Incidentally also the work of making the quilt is decidedly decreas To get satisfactory results with the least work is always a point in favor of it.

Weasels have been known to slaughter as many as 60 chickens in one night. work quickly, sucking the blood from a victim and tossing the body aside, before you are aware of their deed. They are sinister and evil creatures, | with a wiry, slender body, and capable of leaping 10 feet. The strange, flat head, with its sharp nose, glittering | green eyes and cruel teeth, remind you of a serpent as it moves its head from side to side. Great masses of muscles move the strong jaws. The vein of the victim is opened and the blood is sucked | from it. The brain is eaten next and, if still hungry, the weasel eats the flesh |~ They are fearless, and two of them | cannot occupy the same hunting | grounds. One falls victim to the other’s | thirst. With a sharp nose lifted to catch the scent on the air, the low fore- head and flerce look from those beady eyes, you can imagine the fear that is aroused in their prey. They are clever dodgers and hiders. When angry, they growl, snarl and give shrill barks. If molested by man when they are feasting, they turn upon him. They do not hesitate at- tacking larger animals and show great courage when being wounded | ' Not much is known about their family | life Here is a fine chance for a young naturalist. 1t is believed that they prefer the abandoned home of the | woodchuck and ground squirrel. There are six babies, that are blind until they | are 10 days old. The mother stays with them until she feels they are able to change from a milk diet to one of warm blood From then on the Lttle bloodsuckers fend for themselves. In spite of the fact that they are clever hunters, they store much’ food. Chickens, rats, mice and rabbits are killed and placed under the snow. Thelr Latin name, Putorius, means “a stinker, and is given to weasels with good re they can when a design appears, and | so be ready to piece the quilt together | when this part in its making is des scribed The color schemes suggested are not | arbitrary. Any colored patches can be worked into these cherry tree patterns, This means that light and dark colors should always be used in the same relative way. checkers which are conventionalized cherry and foliage parts, whether they are red and green or not, must always be dark and light goods to accent the design. The tree trunk and branches must be dark, and the grass triangle below the tree. With a light back- ground, which may be blue, white, gray or any soft neutral color, the design will stand out distinctly. The cherry tree pattern is 10 cents.

He went to his first one in Chicago in 1880 as a delegate. He waited until 1916 for his next one, but was present at Kansas City in 1928 and again in Chicago this year. He is the son of Gen.

AR A Another illustration of the miraculous power women have to pull the ‘wool over their eyes is that no woman ever gets a close-up on herself, or a line on her defects. She always sees herself glorified and never suspects that the general public isn't as enraptured with the picture as she is her- self. A WOMAN will go around with hair the color of strawberry jam com- placently believing that she has every one fooled into thinking she was born with titian locks. There are 10,000 mirrors on every side and yet she will plaster her mouth with lipstick until it looks like a gory gash across her face. And no stout woman ever beholds another stout woman without thinking: “Thank goodness I am not fat and haven't lost my figure.” | “There is never a day that I don't get a lefier from some woman saying that she knows & certain man is wildly, passWnately in love with her. He has never asked her to marry him or mentioned the state of his affections 10 her, but she knows he is in love with her bacause he comes and eats | Sunday dinner with her, or because of the look in his eyes. She never stops to consider that it may be love of good food and her mother’s cook- ing and not matrimonial intentions that bring the man to her house and that all any woman ever sees in a man's eyes is just the reflection of her own desire. WOMEN'E ability to kid themselves finds its most glorious expression | when they come to dealing with their children. For then, indeed, | does it become a talent that leaves us gasping in awe and wonder at its scope and power. For Nature has wisely ordained that no mother shall ever see her children as they actually are, but only as she wants them to be. Always she beholds them as beauteous swans. Never as ugly ducklings. Your Home and You BY BETSY CALLISTER. One of our readers asks for sugges- | tions for making curtains for her Sum- | mer cottage. It's a seaside cottage, of | the simplest sort, she says, and she | | doesnt want to spend a lot of money. | But she wants something a little un- usual, something pretty. Why not gingham curtains through- out? Gingham comes in large checks that are most attractive. There might be green and white for the living room, which, she says, is also the dining room —and perhaps a smaller green and white for the kitchen, just for the sake | # of difference. The green is soft and | cool for hot Summer days, and for the bright, glaring light of the seaside. | For the bed rooms, different colors | might be used, one for each room. No matter how selfish and impudent and inconsiderate to her chil- dren are, or how wild and dissipated, mother kids herself into believing that they love her in spite of the way they treat her and that some day they will appreciate her and give her the affection she craves, and that they will turn into fine men and women.
