THE ROLO SLOMBO,
How to Make Very Comfortable Bolster

How to Make Very Comfortable Bolster
for an Easy Chair.
A correspondent Of the London Farm
ing World sends to that paper the fol-
lowing article:
Ladies who do fancy work have
usually a quantity of odd woods lying
about their work tables. A good way
of utilizing them is to make a rolo
slombo. These are of eastern invention,
and require many colors judiciously
blended to give them an oriental appear
ance. have just made one, the colors
in which are black, crimson, green and
gold. Two cuts of wool will make a
nice sized pillow.
Take two stocking wires, and begin
by casting on sixteen stitches. First
row, plain; I'd row, plain, purl, 4
plain; Sd row, plain; 4th row, plain, 8
purl, plain; and so on, till you have
done 16 rows. Seventeenth row, plain;
18th row, plain; 10th row, 4 plain, 8
pur1, plain; Goth row, plain; and SO
on, making one square plain, the other
heel of stocking pattern, till you have
knitted about go inches in length.
Make of these lengths of each color.
When joining, place the end of stripe
No. against 18th row of No. 1. Place
end of stripe against 18th row OF
stripe ., and so on, till the eight are
sewed together. Join by overseaming
on the wrong side. Remember always
to place the purl square against plain
square of adjoining stripe. The work
will now have this form:
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1892-07-25

The ends are joined by sewing end Of
No. to side of No. {, end Of No. to
side of No 6, and so on, till all are
joined.
Do the same at the other end, and
then proceed to join round, leaving an
aperture wide enough to admit the
stufing. Now make bolster of tick
ing to fit, filing it with feathers, hair,
wool or dried moss. Slip it inside the
knitted work and sew up. The mode of
joining gives the stripes spiral form.
Make firm cord and attach it to both
ends of the pillow, and finish with a
bunch of cord and wool pompons. This
makes q very comfortable bolster for
an easy-chair.

1t is black, striped with white and

FASHIONS AT NEWPORT.
An Analysis OF the Dress Notions
Of the Summer Capital
What Distinguishes the Summer Girl oi
the Cottages from the Summer Girl
Elsewhere-The Blazer and
the Suspender.
[coPYRIGHr, 1927

What distinguishes dress at Newport
is its absolute freshness and the charm
of artistic taste and summer simplicity.
There's n curious homogeneity about
the cottagers, though they come from
every part of the country, and there's a
consistent repulsion of discordant ele-
ments that would change the character
of the seaside capitals. The quiet of the
place drives out people who can't find
life endurable without touch of Coney
Island livelinesS. The streets are not
watered on Sundays and the clouds of
dust preserve Bellevue avenue from the
Sabbath raid of excursionists. The
hotel business is unimportant as COM

Origin of Drinking Healths.

Here is one explanation of the origin
of drinking healths- In the old days
of the Danish vikings it was common
custom to stab man in the throat
while he was drinking his mead. So
when a man had occasion to drink in a
company he asked every one to drink
his health" with him, knowing that
while they We're thus occupied they
couldn't use their 'tweepins', on him.
Then poets arose and wove around this
purely defensive custom of cutthroats a
great many pretty poetical ideas And
thus it survives to-day, to the great
profit of the ginmills.
