you got home this evening to find the

though 1t had Just come out of the shop.
And then what do you think happened"
.'Um-m-m' said Mr.. j., keenly inter-
ested in-his paper!
why, when I called up Robert-the
man Of all work ut the end Of the block,
YOU know-he was out on another job and
couldn't possibly do it until the day after
tomorrow! I was so disappointed could

"Um-m-m," agreed Mr.. j., his attention
concentrated upon folding the paper
across and turning It without losing bis

This was no mild statement, nor was

Milady Of Today finds she has too little

Of other days, and this sewing art is
probably the only remaining one OF our

The quilts of our great-grandmothcrs
after lying for years in the cedar chests,
have been taken out and now rank with
the other treasures Of the household. In
the days when these quilts were made
Milady, whether q noblewoman or Of low
ly degree, was skilled in the art of using
the needle. The bed coverings, made as
they were from patches or all sOrts ana
designs, were indeed works Of art, each
stitch masterpiece in itself. In many
of the old time quilts no two stitches
we're ever alike in form or color, and they
might we'll be termed "crazy quilts
For some reason the women Of now
have paused in the rush to take up the
bygone art Of yesterday, and feminine
fingers are again growing nimble at knot

the quilting frame. Scraps and patches
are again being arranged into intricate
patterns such as 1.-The California Tree"
1.-The Tulip" 1.-The Log Cabin" and 1.-THE
Sunrise" Patterns Of IS and 100 years
