was inaugurated last Sunday in Lo-
gan Avenue chapel, where the children
assembled at $3.50 o'clock to listen to
a short and very instructive sermon by
Rev. J. F. McDonough and assist at

Though the need and advantage of
such a service had been fully made
known to the parents, the attendance
was not so large as could be desired,
but it is hoped that interest in it will
increase with the cooler weather.

GENTLE ARR OF QUILTING.

The newspaper item which announc-
cd an "old.fashioned quilting bee" at
the Boys Hotel, 1927 Michigan ave-
nue., this week, is subject to modifca-
ton. II was a quilting party all right,
but IL was not old fashioned. You may
b. sure of that. There are no more
oldfashioned quilting bees. There is
no time in these hysterical days for
such painstaking functions as the quilt
ing parties OF fifty or more years ago.
While the quilts made by the benevo-
lent ladies at the Boys Hotel in Michi-
gan avenue will keep the youngsters
as warm as covering Of the most elab-
crate handiwork, they are not quilts
in the strictly orthodox acceptance Of
that term. II the stitches don't run
in merely straight lines we may be GER
tain that the pattern" is not more
intricate than simple diamonds"
is, lines running crosswise.
The stitches then selves arc not the
sort that the matrons and maids of
an earlier generation put into quilts.
In the house of one OF the old time
quilters the Church ladies" "put in a
quilt" several years ago and gathered
as they had time and opportunity to
work on it. But so untutored and
slouehy were the stitches that the "hos-
tess offended by what she looked up
on as a violation of proper needlework
traditions, rose up early each morning,
pulled out the sprawling threads, and
did the work all over.
True it is that 70 go to the pains to
placing quilts in such patterns as the
double nine patch" the "Irish chain"
the "sunflower," mothers troubles"
efc, and to quilt them in feathers
and palms" and shells" and scrolls
would be, as it were '1ove's labor lost"
en- lot of needless boys; but that il
not the point. The fact of gravity and
significance is that the art of quilting
has already reached an advance degree
of deterioration and, strictly speaking,
is becoming obsolete.
If you have any doubt of this, seek
out some housewife Of the old school
VINO preserves, among the mementos of
her youthful industry a quilt or so
of the former days, with their multi
fsrious patches @ftly Joined together"
md neat, faultless stitches, and then
ask yourself whether there is any
room for the belief that women engross
ed in bridge" and woman's clubs and
the like could have done such exquisite
eedlework.-Kansas City Star.
