Transcript. 1t was made of wrought
iron welded rings. and large claims
were put forth for is strength and
effectiveness. Mr.. Ames was mat
of brains, but possessed very exc

patience and diplomacy necessary for
a successful promoter. On the COM
mittee to pass upon his gun was Col.
Dahlgren. who, it will be remem-.

with the thumb, and q quarter circle
marked. Then the second knot was
held at the corner and second quar-
ter circle marked, and this was repeat

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 short distance ahead, as the
quilt was rolled. Al some Of the mod

that more accurate marking can be
done, and the time of the quilters
saved, il the entire cover is marked
before it is placed upon the frames.

Patterns for piecing quilts, like
those for quilting, are sometimes boy"
rowed from old time models. The al"
bum pattern has been revived by
church societies. This has center
piece of white in each block, on which
the name of the maker is outlined or
written. A member of church or Of
society will often pay high price
for one of these autograph quilts.
They are also used for gifts OF pres.

Church societies find profitable EN-.

are usually individual orders, while the
orders for comforters often come
from large dry goods houses. One
society has record of tying Is CON-
forters in a day. 10 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 lines hole as large
around as tive-cent piece was cut.
The sheet was then pinned on over q
comforter and the tying was done
through the holes thus prepared. The
sheet could be used again and again.
