RUGS FROM WASH DRESSES
Pretty and Inexpens We Articles May
Be Made II a Little Thought
is Used.

Pretty and inexpensive rugs can be
made for bathrooms and also bed
rooms from old percale dresses that
have no further use as wearing ap
parnl.
The pretty blues and rinks make ths
most attractive rugs. The only expense
is TO purchase a wooden needle. Mine
is ten inches long and thicker than 9
lead pencil.
The rags should be cut and not torn
to avoid the thread hanging They
should be cut three-quarters Of an inch
wide and sewed together Just as ragf
for an old,fashioned rag carpet
Crochet a chain of several stitches
and make in this way a center, and
then knit around and around, throw
ing your thread (which is the rag)
over before putting the needle through
the chain. You must put in two stitch
es to keep 1t from drawing up like q
poke. Put your needle through the
back part of the stitch and use your
taste in knitting the colors and finish
with an edge like an old-fashioned

BEST KIND OF TABLE COVER
In This, Housewife May Find a Solu-
tion of Something That Has Been
a Trouble to Her.

II you are like most housekeepers,
YOU have q number Of little tables
about the house which are always
needing clean covers. Usually. one
doesn't like to use embroidered cen.
terpieces and doilies for the purpose,
for these little tables are more than
likely used as stands for plants or
are little catch-alls which make them
rather trying household children to
keep clean. An excellent solution In
the way Of little table dresses is the
plain linen cover ornamented with 9
colored edge Natural colored, oyster
or white linen may be used or even
gray linen (all depending upon the use
of the little table,. and then the edge
is bound with linen or heavy muslin Of
any color that you prefer. The bind

complished by a man Of more than
ordinary intellectual development.
Mr., Taber is an American who, after
his graduation from Brown university,
went to Oxford as a Rhodes scholar
He was a runner Of ability when at
Brown; he continued to develop brain

running has improved as his mind has
broadened and matured.
There is a special reason why
Americans should be proud of Mr.
Taber's achievement, however. Until
recently it had been a tradition that,
while Americans were supreme in the

than endurance, they were usually in.
