MAGALZINE PAGE. Quilts of Thrifty Patchwork BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. = _UANGEE L NE - WA wE = ECCNOMY IS FEATURED IN USING UP ASSORTED PIECES WHEN ROSES ARE NOT ALL ALIKE, OR LEAVES IDENTICAL. IECED patchwork quilts were favorites with old-time quilt- makers beceuse it is this kind | of patchwork that is economical. | In early sottler days women | were experts in thrift. By scaming to- | gether stout bits of discarded garments | & second textile was constructed with- | out any cost. But this thrift was not | enovgh for these expert workers. Beauty must be expressed in the com- | binations of colors, and shapes must | contribute to pattern. So it was that| quilts of rare loveliness were wrested | from scrap bags, and quilts cost| nothing but the thread and linings. | In this era of tight money, when | families have to make the most of | everything they possess and spend the | smallest amounts for sustenance, home- | makers do well to emulate these early | settlers and turn what wouid otherwise | be waste textiles into handrome and | warm bed covering. | It is well to remember that a quilt for which a foundation material has to be bought as a background on which to sew pieces cut into elements of design 1s not essentially economical. Applique patchwork quilts belong to this class | “which does not stress economy. Pieced | “patclyvork is the economical kind. | A pattern which lends itself admirably | to economical pieced patchwork quilts of distinction is the bed of roses. The | pattern, with directions for making, | full size units for cutting portions, coler suggestions and a section of the com- . pleted quilt pictured, can be had for 10 (cents and a self-addressed and stamped tenvelope, with a request directed to iLydia Le Baron Walker, care of this i paper. { When the quiltmaker has only small quantities of matching material, make the roses different. quire very small bits may be alike or of varying kinds. should be of one kind, but no two roses need necessarily have leaves of identical color or textile. Green material or that having this color plentifully intro- Cuced in its pattern should be set aside for this foliage. But if there is not enough other colors, plain or patterned may be used with artistic results, pro- viding roses and leaves are in pleasing color contrasts. Lattices need not all be alike, but if not those which are identical should be so distributed that they form straight, although interrupted, rows up and down the quilt, across it, or in diagonal lines. When it is possible to have lattices all the same throughout a quilt, these units bind the design together attractively. The easiest way to make the bed of roses quilt is to cut roses and leaves and sew eight leaves about one rose with center sewed in place, fitting the leaves in place as shown in the section of the quilt pictured on the pattern sheet. When all the roses and leaves are thus assembled and the lattice por- tions are cut and ready, assemble &r- tions (on a large table or top of bed) to make the best distribution of colors possible. Pin the pieces tog:ther in | strips. - Separate strips and seam unat- tached parts as pinned. Then seam strips together. By making the quilt thus it is easy to handle and to use as pick-up sewing. These will be individuality in these quilts, since no two can be alike. Each quiltmaker will instil her own. artistic personality into the quilt she makes, as did the old-time quiltmakers.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. ‘The Good Taste girls were having a most animated conversation. There was a babel of noise out of which Nancy could head “Didja reely,” “That’s ‘Doncha know anything a-tall?” Right then and there she decided that her group of young girls was go- ing to learn something about correct pronounciation, careful diction. No, she decided, it was not that they needed to learn something about it. They were going to practice what they had learned in classes. “Girls, I have an idea,” she said, “you said earlier that you wanted to help that charities family down over the hill. And you said you did not have any money. Now of course, you do have spending money, you are not all poverty stricken. “Why don’t we make a practice at these club meetings of being more pre- cise in our pronunciation, more careful ‘When we slip, let’s fine ourselves, One cent for every ing repitition of & word or phrase.” “We're withya,” said the group as one girl. “Now there,” said Nancy “is | | Centers which re- | Leaves encircling a rose | G SUAKR, WASouINUTON, NATURE’S CHILDREN BY EILLIAN COX ATHE..

The Norsemen gave him a place in their religion. They placed one on each { shoulder of their god, Odin. The ere named “Thought” and y,” and each night they were supposed to whisper into Odin's ear | the secrets of the world as they had | seen them on their daily flight. In| | battle the Norse warriors wore an em- | {blem of the raven and felt confident | {of victory with this talisman. There are many stories, some of the good luck the bird is supposed to bring, !But as a harbinger of doom and mis- fortune, he holds first piace. Many say he calls “cornse, corpse,” and when heard at night they are sure, “The raven's hoarse note from the boush | Did toll his funeral knell.” Poe, the poet, claimed the bird said | | ‘Nevermore.” One thing that is cer-| jtain, the bird is famous the world 1 over, and while he is never seen in the ! South, he is often seen in the frozen, | barren places of the extreme North. | Down the ages the bird has been | feared, respected and revered. He be- longs to the crow family and is its| mest important member. His coat is glossy, and in the light it has beauti- | ful blue and green tints. In size he is fully 26 inches long and measures over a yard between wing tips. On his throat and chin he has a tuft of Jong, loose feathers, a sort of goatee.

Year after year the birds return to the home, mend and repair it with skill and due consideration for cleanliness. The lin- ing of the year before is removed or comgletely covered over. The outside of the nursery will be made of strong sticks, tough grasses and many odds and ends, but the lining will be fresh and clean, with fine grasses, deer hair and soft wool. There will be from three to five eggs in a clutch, often no two of them marked the same. They will have lavender flecks,” brownish green blotches and some greenish blue splashed over them. They are half again the size of the crow's eggs. The infants are born in early February, a motely-looking crew of all colors. They soon outgrow these weird clothes and are like their parents. _ ’ Ravens show their crow trait by lov- ing bright objects and stealing them. They love to tease and are very easBy tamed. Their bright eyes miss noth- ing, and they are almost human in their ability to hide their fll-gotten prizes. The voice of the raven is hoarse and more like a croak than a note.

POST: (1) Is & there anything else in this world that causes as much worry and trouble as a small hous: and a large family? I think not! I like to invite my friends in to play bridge, sometimes at least, but there is always the ques- tion of where mother and dad will sit, or where the two younger children will study their lessons. (2) And we haven't any clothes closets except those in the bedrooms, and if mother and dad go to bed (eventually?), then the guests’ wraps are tucked away with their sjum- bers and the whole house is awakened if I go in to get them. This problem is even too much for a magician to an- swer, I guess.” My answer: One solution to your problem is very simple, if you have the wherewithal to furnish your bed room as a sitting room. The bed would have to look like a sofa. This is not hard to contrive out of any narrow bed which has a low head and footboard, with a slip cover of chintz and five pillows covered with chintz, three against the wall and one at head and at foot. A bureau could be made to look all right if the mirror is framed and hung on the wall, if the top is bare and sitting room ornaments take the place of toilet articles. Of course, if you could get a very small secretary it would take away the bed room effect entirely. Also, three flat cushions put on top of the bed’s mattress will complete the appearance of a sofa. In such a sit- ting room, no matter how small, you could probably manage a card table and spend a perfectly tranquil evening, and also insure one for your family. This suggestion may not be impos- sible. Chintz is not expensive. Pillows, good enough for a sofa-back and ends, need not be feather filled. A bridge lamp might be spared from the living room.
