Peter was trying very hard to save
money but it was hard work. Aunt
Grace gave each of the Palmer kids a
bright new quarter for carrying all the
little pieces of lumber left from build
ing the house into the basement for
ndling.
The twins gave theirs to Mamma to
take care of for them, but Peter car
ried his in his pocket because he liked
to hear it jingle against his knife
One day the boys he was walking
home with decided to stop at the lit
tie store and get some pop. Peter
marched in with the rest Of them but
when the storekeeper asked him Lem

all and himself more than anybody by
running out of the store. He went
straight home and handed his quarter
to mamma. Papa was sitting on the

whole performance. When he came

one day when the big man in our
family started to rise from the dinner
table, he seemed to stick to his chair.

guiltless.

years, and never before showed any

chair in the dining room was in this
condition.
went to leather dealer and he
told me that even the best of leather
will do that very thing. That it's
known as "crocking' and there's moth
ing one can do for it.
We held family council and de-
clded something must be done. We
did not want to go to the expense OF
having them reseated, so the some
thing" to do seemed to be to make slip
covers for the seats.
The paper in the dining-room Is
lowered, the hangings are plain col
or, and the carpet dark green.
First | tried to match the hanglngs.
This was impossible as well as i'm
practicable, for the hangings are sort
of rose color and would have been too
delicate for chair seats.
If i used lowered cretonne, unless 1t
was absolutely the same as the paper,
was going to have perfect tumble
of colors.
So the carpet was the only thing left
to match and this l did with a very
satisfactory result.
In making the covers l worked with
piece of cotton cloth until it fitted
perfectly. Then ripped that up and
cut paper pattern from it to use on
my material.
The family is nice enough to say the
chairs look better than they did be-
fore. Me, | don't know. But anyway
they don't stick.

ing of an atmosphere OF aloofness, de.
void of human warmth, according to
his comprehension. This atmosphere
is part and parcel of Episcopal re-
ligion. Those who are born in the
church know that a general turning
around in pewsl the shaking of hands
and converting to great extent-the
remaining after service in sociable
groupings-is all outside Of Episco-
pal custom, Not meaning at all to
criticize the manners and beliefs OF
other churches which are all worthy.
Episcopalians come to church TO wor-
ship in the only manner they know
and eyes, hearts and souls are wrap
ped entirely in the service, if one is a
true churchman.
So often strangers come to services
and other than a word of greeting
from the rector at the close of the
service, they come in and go out un-
recognized, unwelcomed - seemingly
unappreciated. An unfair accusation
results. For the Episcopal Church is
not basicly cold. Hearts just as
warm and just as sympathetic and
just as sincere are to be found in this
church as in any other. When one un.
derstands, one learns that Episcopal
fans are queer clan only ~ ;aat they
hide the best of themselves way down
beneath numerous coverings Of social
custom and, religious habit. They arc
the sort of people who say the least
about the things they feel the most.

not a beautiful ambition? To the
