PATCHWORK AN ANCIENT ART
Il Had Ito origin Many Aga Aas
but Now Il pi.elnee'x An An.e*-
lean Instituted.

The Idea that patchwork had Ito
origin In America is net founded on
fact, A thousand years before the
Christian era queea Of Egypt went
down the Ntle to her last resting
place under a wonderful canopy Of
skins that were dyed and pleeed to-
sether In mosaic pattern, Years be.
fore this work had reached perfection
and acquired y definite place among
the arts, Then. too. patchwork quilts
were made In England In the Eight
senth century. ~ witness the lines
written BY Cowper to q Mrs. King
upon receipt Of "A kind present OF .
patchwork quilt OF her own making"
Patchwork 10 distinctly an Amert.
can institution. In this big new coun.
try. whore woman's work was never
done, where even the few convent.
ences Of the day were lacking. women
had no time to spend on any but the
practical things OF life. The mothers
OF this nation left behind them no
wonderful historical needlework, like
the Gobelin tapestries of France and
the beautiful laces OF Italy. There
were all too few to attend to the spin.
ming and weaving and household du.
ties In the homes where dwelt not
only the large family. but the hired
help as well.-Charlotte F. Boldt-
mann In Woman's Home Companion.

HOW A MANUFACTURER
LET THE CAT OUT

A farmer living few miles north
of town ordered a. stove from a
'catalog house I'M Chicago.
The concern boldly proclaimed that
it manufactured its own stoves and
that they were offered at factory
prices
The customer waited NEARLY two
weeks for the stove to be delivered,
and in the meantime the whole fami-
ly shivered. At last the stove came
and the bill of lading showed that
it was shipped by stove factory in
Detroit. A careless shipping clerk
let the cat out of the bag by for
getting to use the mail order con-
Germs shipping tag.
Maybe that farmer wasn't wrathy
He sneaked up to the local hard
ware score and looked around until
he found exactly the same stove. He
looked at the price and almost fell
over backward when he found that
the mail order stove, counting the
freight charges, had cost him 1915
more THIN the local dealer asked
The fact is that 80 per ce-t of the
mail order houses are nothing more
than retailers. The customer has to
pay the high local freight nate where
aus the retailer, who gets the car
load rate, can and ACTUALLY does sell
cheaper than the mail order con-
Germs. 1t is true hiatt some articles
cam be bought cheaper from mail Or
der houses than from retail dealers,
but nine times out of ten the retail
eTs undersell mail order concerns.
