the Convention, and as some OF them
are eager candidates for the nomina-

4 Quilt of HlaYhills

quilt of satin-printed playbills n.
the unique possession of Mrs. w. a
Jones, an old-time actress. The quilt \.
composed almost wholly of playbilIs
which have been printed on satin for,
souvenir occasions. There are pieces az
plain silk. embroidered with the usual
uesigns-butterflies, horseshoes, &c.-but
'he beauty spots of the quilt are the
playbills. Another interesting feature In
that the quilt is lined with the damask
crimson satin which once formed the
curtains OF the Old Bowery Theatre.
When the New Bowery was built most
OF the furnishings of the Old Bowery
were sold, Mrs. Jones bought the cur
tains and put them to their present use.
Inc quit was mostly made ION the

travelling when acting. 81 always
worked when waiting in the greenroom

the work. The quilt was begun in Kan

A Wnman,a Idea

The originator of Memorial Day Is be-
lieved to be Mrs. II. G. Kimball, of
Philadelphia. She had been engaged in
hospital work, like many other noble
women. during the civil war. and on COM
Ing North in 1857 she was shocked at dis
covering in what neglected state were
many of the graves of Union soldiers.
She called Gen. Logan's attention to It
and to the devotion Of Southern women
to the graves Of their dead. Gen. Logan
was then Commander-in-Chief Of the
Grand Army, and in 1868 he issued an
order adopting Mrs. Kimbalrs ideas,
though not naming her therein. He gave
her the credit, however. in an autograph
letter, which she still preserves.
