RED CEDAR FOR BUILDINGS
Some of This Excellent Material Is Err
timated to Be Nearly Four Thou
sand Years Old.

It will surprise many to know that
they have in their homes material es-
timated to be 1000 years old. If the
shingles or interior nnish is red cedar
or if you have a red cedar chest it is
possible that the wood antedates the
history of this country by thousands
of years. says the Cleveland Leader
A Cleveland man is credited with
bringing the first red cedar into this
section. W. A. Geist, on western trip
several years ago, was attracted by the
red cedar forests at Port Angelus'
Wash. He established a mill there
and began shipping the cedar to the
eastern market Formerly the south
ern cedar was used in great quantities.
but 1t is the claim of Mr.. Geist that
the product from the Pacific coast is
growing in favor and the demand for
1t is increasing.
1t is a most durable wood and its
use in home guarantees that moths
and other troublesome insects will not
enter. It is used for wainscoting. man.
tells, cupboards. cabinets and especially
for chests in which to store furs and
clothing. Mr.. Geist exhibits quantity
of red cedar cut from a tree he esti-
mates to be at least 300 years of age.
Three large cedars were found growing
from a fallen log which was five and
one-half feet in diameter. The largest
OF the three tree growing from the
fallen tree was ten and one-half feet in
diameter. By counting the rings In
both trees indicates that the fallen
tree. still sound. is nearing its four
thousandth birthday.
Mr.. Geist is an expert upon red
cedar and goes in for the history OF
the wonderful trees of Washington and
other coast states as a biographer
would the data upon the life of some
famous man. He surrounds bolt OF
single cedar with an interesting story.
which goes back to the misty ages and
like reverence grows within
the listener for this venerable work OF
nature.
Unquestionably the red cedar is the
oldest material used In the construc-
ton of the home and few materials
will outwear it, It being nearly indie
structible except by fire.

fooled Leather

The art of tooling leather has beer
enthusiastically revived. Articles made
of leather thus treated are decidedly
artistic.
Sheet leather OF a russell color is
used. Select a quality which does not
tear easily and yet is firm and flexible.
~Sheepskin, fine ~calfssin, g~oatskin, seal
skin and pigslSin are used for different
articles.
The tools made of steel are more rea-
sonable, but those of brass. agate, ivory
and horn are better to work the
leather.
The leather must be soaked in water
from one to ten minutes, accord
ing to its thickness. If you desire a
deep impression, cover the entire sur
face Of the back with molding wax.
Tack the leather upon a board. This
should be made in three layers to pre-
vent warping.
Draw your design upon paper, care
fully applying it to fl the space to be
covered. Transfer the design by plac-
ing it over the leather and carefully
follow the outline with a tracing wheel.
Go ove the lines with a lead pencil
before tooling 1t. Heat the irons by a
small gas or alcohol lamp and tool the
leather.
The design may be tinted-or gilded,
IL desired. Book covers, chair backs.
panels, cardcases and numerous other
articles are effective made Of fooled
leather.

For the Daily Post

A very useful addition to the items
OF a country house where guests are
entertained at weekend house parties
or Tor longer periods of time ia con-
cerned with the delivery of letters TO
the guests.
A number of large envelopes are
made OF fancy paper or stiff paper in
brilliant crimson hue.
Bind them with green passepartou
and attach enough narrow satin ribbon
to the flap of each envelope to encircle
1t and tie in a small DOW.
The ribbon can be fastened on with
a bit of sealing wax stamped with the
hostesses' coat of arms or monogram.
The name of each guest is inscribed
on the envelope and when the mail is
sorted letters to the guests are slipped
into the proper envelope, which is
placed at the guests place at table or
sent to her room.
In this way confusion and the pos
sible@ loss of letters is absolutely done
away with. besides being a very at
tractive way to deliver the mall.

Dutch Aprons

No longer does the white apron OF
ira -,sparent materials, trimmed with
| frivolous ribbons and many lace frills,
reign supreme as a skirt protector at
| chatting dish parties. For the nonce
tho Dutch apron is in possession of the
field and every girl who cannot afford
one of the imported specimens made of
dark blue, green, yellow or red sateen,
with a printed border In a contrasting
dull hue, that is half the depth Of the
| entire accessory, does the next best
thing and makes her apron Of what
ever material she has at hand.
The border, printed Holland sateen is
about twenty-four inches wide. and has
the decoration along edge, and shirr
it three times across, thus forming a
half-inch frill and two half-inch puffs
against the front of the waist.
The Dutch apron has no strings, but
is secured to the belt by fancy pins,
preferably cf Dutch silver and handi-
work.
But materials other than the import
ed Holland sateen are used and many
dark hued chiffon or mousseline de
sole with a wide printed border. while
other apron makers are applying the
borders Of foulards to plain colored
surah or China silks.
The main thing Is to have the foun-
dalton Of the apron-never longer than
twenty inches when flnished-of a dark
and dull shade and the border Of a
decided pattern and an entirely Diff
ferent color.

To Transfer

Here are suggestions for transferring
the pattern before you to any material
before working. Perhaps the easiest
way is the "window-pane' method.
This is successful when the material Is
thin, like linen, batiste, etc. Pin the
sheet of paper and material together
and hold them up against the glass OF
a window. With a sharp pencil draw
on the material the design, which can
be easily seen through the goods. II
one-half of the design only be given,
unpin the PAPER n turn the other
side to the fabric. The strong light be-
hind will make it plain.
If you have carbon paper you should
place, the sheet between your fabric
and the newspaper. This latter is on
top. With a sharp pencil go over the
outline of the design. The impression
will be left in fine lines and will last
until worked. This method is success
full on heavy material.
Surely he way is easy.
