For a rug collect about twenty-five
pounds Of flannel rags and dye them
the desired shades and tear into strips
about an inch WIDE says the Chicago
News. These must be neatly sewed
together, overlapping about half an
inch, SO that the joining is strong.
Now procure length of clothesllne
rope and commence to crochet the fan
mel strips over the rope.
This Is begun in the center, like any
crochet wheel for a chair back.
a large wooden crochet hook may be
obtained from needlework shop. The
stitch of double crochet is used to COW
er the rope with the croeheted flannel.
AS you go along the crochet is insert
ed into the previous row. SO that the
circle grows with every pull Of the
needle.
In using two colors the paler shade
should be used ratil the circle is about
a foot across; then use the darker
shade until yeu have gone five times
around the rim
Return agaia to the naler color, re-
peating the q ornate colors until the
flannel is ali I'D up or the rug is the
desired size. leaving the darker shade
at the edge of The rue.
These are very eeonomienI to make
and are very Quiekly done and are
among the most tsu;uG:e Of any Of the
homemade rms. a. the rome makes

no accounting for what might happen.
The humorist told of a long list Of
resolutions he had decided upon, but
added that he was afraid the little bad
man would upset his calculations.

was drawn upon the stage. In it sat a
