first step is to cut pattern-diamond'

measure four inches along the straight
sides. Two triangles can be cut from
each shoe top. To make rug % by 81

The individual life needs to be pre-

who follows fad too much is likely to
find herself growing dissa tistied and

good, steady, trustworthy hobby has
permanent means of escape from her
self and from the WEAKNESS OF the
