country life, so she wrote jolly letters to her many friends, asking them to send her their wornout stockings of silk, either white or colored. Her friends, thinking it a great joke sent her large parcels of stockings Of all colors Many of the stockings were white, so some of these she dyed; then they were sorted in piles according to their color and were cut into strips about three quarters of an inch wide. By beginning at the top and cutting around and around until the toe was reached one stocking was converted into single long strip.
 The ends were sewed together and the strips wound into large, loose balls. If tightly wound the strips would have stretched and this must be avoided as it spells the work if the strips are not of uniform width. Each color was kept in a separate ball.
 While the man fshed in nearby stream or was quietly resting in a hammock under the trees his wife was close by making rugs.
 She used a large wooden hook and the stitch known single crochet The round rugs were made by com mencing with a few chain stitches and then working around and around with the single crochet, adding extra stitch es when needed to keep the work flat and free from puckers
 Oval rugs were made in the same fashion, only in the beginning a num-

Der of chain stitches were used as a foundation, the number depending on the size of rug desired.
 She found the work very fascinating, and by the end of the summer they returned to their home in the city, both man and wife in perfect health. Their vacation had cost them very lit tie, and, in addition to this, the wife had four beautiful silk rugs, admired by every one, and several envious peo- pie were anxious to buy them, but the maker refused to part with them.
 The one rug had a white center with alternate rows of blue and white, and the edge for a depth of six inches was a deep blue. The largest rug was shaded from light yellow to orange and then brown at the edge. The oth- CT two rugs were equally good looking. The wrong side of these rugs was as pretty as the right, as the work had been carefully done.
 As every family sooner or later has a pile of Wornout stockings, a rug costs practically nothing except for the large hook used for crocheting.
 While silk stockings make the pret- tiest rugs, it is quite possible to use even the cheapest kind of stocking, the same rug. Keep each separate If you have a sewing machine you can save a great amount of time if you use it to join the strips instead of do- ing it by hand.
