A MOON HOME

looked out the window one even
ing at the moon, 'I'd lots rather
live up on that silver moon-it's
prettier than here on this old
|earth."
ooh, no, you wouldn't" smiled
mamma. Come here and sit on
my lap and I'll tell you about tho
moon world"
When Carl was nugly settled,
she continued: Now just suppose
you and 1 were to move to the
moon. We would have to take our
houses with us, because there
aren't any houses there. Then
we should have to take pals and
pals full of water, as there are no
lakes or rivers on the moon. Also
We must not forget to take tanks
filled with air from here to
breathe. because we couldn't live
in the air that is around the
moon.
"You see, the moon is a very
old, old world, and all the water
has evaporated. OF course, you
and I know that trees and flowers
cant grow without water, so we
should find no trees or green
things growing.

HOW TO UTILIZE OLD LINEN

bedspread, too, could be made by
cutting the good parts into small
feather-stitching a sim
pie design on each square, and
joining with linen lace insertion.
The edges may be finished with
lace edging to match.
Old table linen, too, is often put
to use as a dust cloth when 1t de-
serves something better. Soft
face towels, tea towels for silver
and glass, and cloths to protect
the freshly baked loaf of cake or
bread from dust or possible trans
crossing fly may be had by the
mere hemming. Often there is a
perfectly good square of the old
tablecloth left which would be
large enough for a lunch cloth,
and good enough to pay one for
hemstitching or feather-stitching
a hem.
