SOME TIPS FOR THE HOSTESS
Suggestions That May Prove Helpful
In Entertaining Guests at
Party.

A Pilgrim rug party 10 the very
latest fad-shades Of our grandmoth-
ers! Do you suppose under the dis
xuise they would recognize the old
rag carpets, which adorned every
room? Time has certainly turned
backward in it's fight, and the older
the fashion the newer, more up-to-
date 1t seems to be.
The "hit-snd-miss" style Of rug may
somewhat resemble the old rag car
net. but the exquisitely woven ones
of blue and white, green and white
and green and pink are such artistic
things that their relationship to the
plebeian rag carpet is remote, save In
the method of preparing the ma
terials.
Only cotton fabrics are used. and as
in the olden day, a pound and half
ball weaves into q rug OF a square
yard in size.
Well, now for the party. Such an
affair was given recently for a bride
elect. and the cards said "thimbles,
so the girls were prepared to sew.
They found piles Of dark denim strips
cut about an inch wide. These were
sewed together and wound into a hard
ball.
Then there was a pile Of white
strips. When these were finished there
was material enough for complete
rug. By the time refreshments were
served the strips were sewed. The
cost of weaving Is very small.
