MAGAZINE PAGE. Eleanor Blue Bed Room Style BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. WEW STYLE BEDSP) OW is the time to have a bed room in Eleanor blue, for blue is the coldest of the Sflmry colors, hence it is excellent for Summer decoration, and Elea- nor blue is the color of the season. The combination is not only smart, it is also felicitous. In stressing this idea, there are many ways in which the homemaker can have her needle aid in the plan. She can have a quilt or bedspread of genuine charm by appliqueing the Chinese Canton bridge and boat and the Chi- nese pagoda motifs onto a plain foun- dation, using blue for the patchwork on a white foundation or white pateh- work on a blue foundation. Couch cushions can have this same patchwork on them, as also can dresser scarfs and table covers. Hangings with the patch- work in alternate units of ngp}iquz are distinctive. Blue is the right color to use for this Chinese Canton applique, and its suitability is unique. ‘While the material used for the tex. tile decorations may be of any pre- ferred kind, from simple cotton to handsome siik, let me recommend - ham as an interesting novelty. It i because of its individuality rather than because it is inexpensive that it 18 recommended, although the fact that such interesting decoration is possible at so low a cost certainly adds to its appeal. The two patchwork designs are used 'READ WITH MATCHING INDO! - TURING CANTON A!FLIGUB.!%{ o v{’ o R DRAPER! GINGHAM PATCHWORK. them in this patchwork, variety is as- sured. The units can be employed ex- actly as given on the pattern sheets which have full worl directions for cutting and making. They also can be combined in many different ways, thus permitting originality of arrangement that indicates exclusive styles. The patterns can be obtained for 10 cehts each and a self-addressed and stamped envelope with a request di- rected to Lydia Le Baron Walker, care of this paper. One pattern consists of the and boat design, 10 cents complete. The other is the Chinese pagoda with three-topped hill. This also is 10 cents, complete. Either pattern can be used without the other, but it is when both designs are combined that the true Chinese Canton decoration is carried out. An exquisite ensemble consiats of bed- scarfs and draperies of cotton ratine or any rough finish cottan mate- rial, with gingham patchwork. The foundstion of Eleanor blug with blue and white fine checked gingham for the patchwork pieces accents the blus perticularly. A foundation of white with the Kleanor blue gingham patch work applique retains the desired color for decoration, yet confining it to less prominence. The heavier material, combined with gingham, is in line with the very latest bed room schemes, and permits follow- ing the exclusive style at low cost, and very little labor, for the patchwork is together as they are found in the classie Chinese Canton ware. By combining extremely simple and effective. (Copyright, 1933.) BEDTIME STORIES 7 %00 Suddenly Lost Appetite. | PPETITE has driven Chatterer | the Red Squirrel to do many dreadful things. He has robbed his feathered neighbors of their precious eggs and, I am sorry 1o say, their still more precious babies. You see, while Chatterer lives hxse!& on nuts, seeds, fruits, mushrooms an such things, there are times when he hecomes hungry fer meat, and then s that he does dreadful things, just as others of his neighbors do. 1 sup- that Chatterer would that it 1 no more dreadful for him dine on | baby birds than it is for you and I to dine nn‘ chicken. It all depends on the int of view. wchuberer knew that Creaker the @rackle and Mrs. Creaker were {eeding bebies in their nest built in the foun- dations of the great nest of Plunger the Osprey, and his appetite had made him bold enough to start to climb to that nest while Mr. and Mrs, Creaker were off hunting food. Now, half way up, he had suddenly and completely lost his appetite. Mrs. Plunger had discov- ered him. Not only had he lost his appetite, but so great was his fear that he had almost lost his nerve. 8o fright- ened was he that he hardly knew what he was doing as he dodged around the mtpolennuntopo!wmnhw Mrs. Plunger's nest. What to do? He no longer had thought of contint on up to tha nest. There was not! to climb for B, o o ot Mra: Bnger didn't dare run down, Jun, should swoop and strike him with her terrible claws. So all he could do was to dodge around that big pole and try to keep it between him and her. Mrs. Plunger wss screaming with rage.| There was something so flerce and ter-| rible in the sound that more than once Chatterer almost lost his hold. Never before had he realized how terrible Mrs. Plunger could be, for never before had she even threatened to harm him. Living chiefly on fish, she and Plunger were on_the best of terms with thel started after, and they had no sym- pathy for him now. As Mrs, Plunger would swoop Chatterer could hear the hiss of air through her stiff wing feathers, a most unpleasant sound. At last, as Mrs, Plunger screamed, Plunger was hurry‘;n might successfully dodge one, but he knew that he couldn’t e two. He must get away hefore arrival of Plunger. Mrs. Plunger swooped. Chatterer dodzed around the pole as she swept . past. Then Chatterer leaped. He leapea out and down. Down, down, down hc went, spreadig out as flat as possible to break the fall as much as he could. Mrg. Plunger checked herself gnd turned quickly after missing Chatterer on the pole. Then she swooped down after him. Would he reach the ground before those great claws could strike him? Creaker and Mrs. Creaker held their breath as they watched Thum] of . | brushing the ground, snd £y | Plunger flew up with empty claws. to climb to their nest and Mrs. Plunger was so angry that the feathers on her head fairly stood on end. Chatterer wanted to tell her that he wasn't after her eggs, but he couldns. He could do nothing but dodge and wigh that he was anywhere but where he was and wonder how long he could keep out of Mrs. Plunger's clutches, Twice as she swooped she just missed “One of these times she won't miss,” thought Chatterer, and shuddereq ac¢ the thought. Creaker and Mrs. Creaker, looking on, had the same thought, but they didn’t shudder, I fear they rejolced af Chatterer, with his heart going pita- pat, pitapat, pitapat, was hiding be- neath some dead leaves.

How it Started BY JEAN NEWTON. “Within Stone's Throw of—" This in one of the most popular phrases in modern speech to indicate nearness. Literally, of eourse, it indi- cates the distance which the average man could cast a stone. But we are more likely, in this day of annihilated distance, to refer to a mile or two as a stone’s throw. People who live within a few miles of a village which they can | reach “in the car” in a few minutes think nothing of referring to it as “just a stone's throw away from us.” In the days of the expression’s origi- nal use, a mile was a mj the tired horse or mule made evident enough. ‘The phrase comes to us out of the rnlaes of Cervantes, having its first use his “Don Quixote,” in the first part, SCTeAM. | which was printed in 1605.
