The quilting bee is likely to become
an accepted social function, not only
of the rural districts, but among city
fashioned '''pieced quilt" are again be-
ing recognized and the handiwork in
volved in the quilting is receiving ar
dent appreciation. Indeed it is the
quilting rather than the piecing which
is receiving marked attention, al
though the designer of log cabins and
star patterns is perhaps only step
removed in popularity.
So widely spread is the interest in
quilts that the art embroidery houses
now issue perforated stamping pat
terms of quilting designs and lists of
several hundred patterns for piecing.
Some of the modern designs for quilt
ing are elaborate; others, no less so,
are a return to the style of our grand
mothers. Essentially new in effect are
the Egyptian pattern and the ivy leaf,
while among the old time patterns are
the star and crescent and the shell.
In our grandmothers' day, when
there were no patterns to be purchased
and it is doubtful if our thrifty
grandmothers would have bought
them if there had been-designs were
cut from cardboard and were loaned
or exchanged in a spirit of mutual
helpfulness. Many of the old quilts
were made from white muslin. An
elaborate pattern was drawn and the
parts were stuffed as the work pro-

There is no doubt that the Louis Nv
heel of portentous height, worn for
walking about town, gives pecking,
picking, henlike gait that's nottoo bad

able in her tall sister. Also a long,

its own special advantages, which are

EGYPTIAN PATTERN.

crossed, leaving the finished design
in prominent relief. No outer spreads
were used in those days, and the elab-
crate pattern of such a quilt was not
hidden from view.
All sorts of devices were resorted
to for designs. A flower center was
encircled by rows of stitching marked
by means of plates of various sizes.
The shell pattern was made by using
a piece of string doubled and tied with
three knots at equal distances. Start
ing at one corner of the quilt pencil
was placed in the end loop, the first
knot was held firmly on the corner
with the thumb, and a quarter circle
marked. Then the second knot was
held at the corner and a second quar-
ter circle marked. and this was repeat
ed with the third knot. The first knot
was then placed at the upper edge of
the third circle and the process re-
peated, continuing the entire length
of one side and following one row with
another.
The marking was usually done after
the quilt was placed upon the frames,
working a short distance ahead, as the
quilt was rolled. Al some of the mod
ern bees, however, it has been found
that more accurate marking can be
done, and the time of the quilters

piece of white in each block, on which
the name of the maker is outlined or
written. A member of church or of
a society will often pay high price
for one of these autograph quilts.
They are also used for gifts or pres
entations.
Church societies find profitable en-
ployment for the weekly or fortnight
ly meetings in piecing or quilting, as
well as in tying comforters. The quilts
are usually individual orders, while the
orders for comforters often come
from large dry goods houses. One
society has a record of tying 25 com
forters in a day. To save time in
marking each one, they hit upon an
ingenious plan. An old sheet was
marked in diagonal lines. At each in
tersection of these lires hole as large
around as fve-cent piece was cut.
The sheet was then pinned on over a
comforter and the tying was done
through the holes thus prepared. The
sheet could be used again and again.

They tell good one on a prominent real
estate man of Waurika. Some time ago he
carried a prospector over on Beaver Creek
to show him a certain claim. He told the
pan that it was an exceptionally fine claim;
shat the land did not overflow, and that
he would sell it to him for 81, 600. The man
looked around and discovered some red
mud way up in tree and asked the real
estate man what caused that mud in the
tree tops if the land did not overflow. The
agent promptly replied that there was a
kind of hog raised over in the Chickasaw
country which used to range on the creek
and that they rubbed the mud on the trees.
The prospector took look over the, land,
glanced up in the tree again, and told the
Waurika man that he wouldn't take the
claim, but that he would give him $4,000

To Keen Mirrors Br,ob+

Do not clean plate-glass mirrors
with soap and water, which sooner or
later dim the surface. Alcohol and
water is safe, but unless the mirror is
actually dirty, rubbing with a soft
cloth cleanses it perfectly. 1t is best
not to use soap on table glass, much
of which is rather soft and easily
scratched. For this reason avoid the
many patent polishing powders and
cloths advertised to give a high pol
ish to good glass.
