NEEDLEWORK NOTES.

Piecing the old fashioned patch
work quilt is again a popular occupa-
ton. Nursery quilts are made of
heavy cotton or linen sketched with
designs to be worked with floss, Moth
er Goose figures being favorites. Sim
pie patterns done in blue and white or
rose and white cfambray are chosen
for body's rooms. The mystic rose
design now popular, calls for a pale
and the bright shade of green for
foliage. The morning glory pattern
of rose and French blue calico is also
a favorite. The -four patches" calls
for a white background dotted with
tiny pink rosebuds. For a colonial
bed the old log cabin design is chosen.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1917-05-14

Loosely woven gray SCIIi1, WHICH Is
inexpensive, would make extremely
good looking curtains for your living
room or library. Use the selvage as
a finish for the sides and across the
bottom; hernStitch a two inch hem.
An unusual way to decorate the cur
tains is to enbroider a stencil pattern
in greens and bronze. A quaint foil
age pattern would give the right eff
feet. Place the stencil on the curtains
and with a pencil mark the pattern.
BY holding the pencil in an upright
position and following the cut line of
the stencil board the outline can be
readily traced. Simple, sketchy stitch
es should be used for the embroidery
as a light shadowy effect is desired.
Another unique color combination is
dull silver and orange; then when the
light shines through the curtains the
embroidery will emit a bright bit of
color. This sort of curtain will look
especially we'll in a room where blue
is the dominating color.
When changing the thread on your
sewing machine remove spool from
spindle without breaking the thread,
place new spool on spindle, tieing
thread to that with which the machine
is already threaded, then taking hold
Of the thread at the needle, draw
thread through every part to be
threaded at once, even to the needle
if the thread or silk is fine. This is
all done very quickly and is not only
a time saver but a real help to one
with impaired sight.

No seed where labor is not free
 Can yield such life as yields The golden grain of liberty
 That crowns Columbia's fields. We love the bread that saved our sires
 When hungry and forlorn, And every autumn feast inspires
 Our praise of Indian corn
 Theron Brown.
 Why not have harvest festival in your town or community this fall? And more especially, why not arrange for a corn celebration in recognition of the great American crop which saved our pioneers and upon which we must now so largely depend to help us feed the world?
 It would seem particularly appropri- ate that all over our land harvest fes. tivals should be held this fall-with corn given emphasis wherever pos sible. In this way we may renew one of the oldest community customs, es tablish 8 pleasant social custom. and at the same time pay a well merited tribute to American corn or maize. which from the time of the settle Ments at Jamestown and Plymouth. and throughout the colonial period. was the chief reliance for food. In dian corn it is called. because from the Indians the early settlers learned how to cultivate and cook this grain. so different from those of the old world. from which they had come Along with the corn the Indians planted the pumpkins or squash and sometimes beans.
 Corn celebrations may be conduct ed in connection with fairs or meet ings of agricultural orga nizations. CT may be arranged independently to takS the form. for instance. of festivals at the school or church with a corn husN- ing, say, or fruit drying or preserv- ing bee, corn supper and g literary programme, etc.
 The more extensive use of corn may be promoted at these festivals by serving attractive menus of dishes made of corn. Apples, beans, potatoes and pumpkins if combined intelligent ly with corn will furnish material for a real feast. Farmers bulletin 5G5 of the United States department of agriculture furnishes many recipes from which selection of dishes may De made. Milk and eggs may be used with the corn to produce well bal anced meal
 Sweet corn, canned, may provide 8 cream soup, or a chowder. or corn pudding. or fritters. or be com bined with potato in salad.
 Coarse white hominy CT samp pre- pared with fat, onions and parsley like 6 lyonnaise potato or served with to : mato sauce is excellent, or it may be used as sweet with fruit sirup. Hulled corn or lye hominy cooked like macaroni with cheese is also good. Fine hominy. white or yellow. favored with cheese and made into croquettes
