IN Martha Washington's time even
she used to weave and dye her own
yarns. It is said she kept all her old
worn silk gowns and scraps, dyed them
the desired shade, carefully wound them
on bobbins and wove them into chair
and cushion covers To a group of
visitors she once is said to have dis
played a dress of red and white striped

To tell what would be the cost of ma

dificult, as 1t all depends on the sort
of material used. If a rag rug the
cost would probably not be more than

denim, gingham, old or new: turkey
red calico. stockings and white or can
ton flannel.
Usually the material for a rug is cut
In one inch widths, though this depends
on its quality. Turkey red calico. for
instance being lighter in weight. must
be cut an inch and a half or two inches,

A very good idea for q girl who IL

is to weigh the cloth after II has been
cut, rolled and sewed. and jot down
the weight as well as the number OF
yards in a roll. Then, after Il Is
woven. calculate the number OF yards
of weaving.
For a rug of denim five to seven
yards of material viii make one yard

this sort should weigh two and q half
pounds.
