when not in use, will drop inside
the pad.
Make cushion of the lining to fit
on the inside of this frame and stuff
it with cotton, or cover thick piece
of felt with the same material. This
cushion should be fastened to the
bottom of the kneeling pad.
Apron for Tools
One-half yard of cloth and 8 yards
of tape for binding is sufficient ma
terial for this garment. Cut a pat
tern by dimensions given in the IL
lustration. Bind the edges with tape.
Use one piece 60 inches long for
binding sides and bottom of apron.
To fit the apron cut it out little
across the top, allowing center of
the top to be curved downward about
2 inches lower than the top of the
sides. Place a half-inch dart 2
inches from the center on each side
of tn top. Taper these darts to
point 4 inches above the bottom of
the pocket and stitch them in place:
Hem the ends of a piece of tape SO
inches long and bind the top of the
apron, leaving an even length on
each side for tying strings. Fold
the pattern on the dotted line and
stitch to form the pockets. The
center pocket stitched in ''V" shape
will leave a slanting pocket on each
side. The handles of the tools car
ried in these pockets will slope back
under the arms. and will not inter
fere with the arms at work. This
arrangement will be found much
more convenient than straight
pockets.
A broad-brimmed sun hat lined
with the same color used for the
apron and lining of the pad, with
band of the same colored tape used
for binding. will complete an attrac-
tive garden outfit.

More women are working in gar
dens than ever before, and they are
profting by it both in health and
purse. Some find the bending during
transplanting and wedding tiresome
and apt to result in backache. The
United States department of agricul-
ture has planned a garden set, con-
sisting of a kneeling pad and tool
apron, which the garden club girls
may make. It's use lessons the
amount of bending and eliminates
much of the backache. Any woman
will find such a set attractive and
useful. Small plants are convenient
ly carried in the pocket of the pad,
and the small tools fit into the apron.
Making Garden Knee1ing Pad
The pad may be made of mating,
bIrlap, denim, o1lcloth, heavy canvas
or even an old rug or piece of carpet.
Mating lined with brown denim is
very suitable, because this color does
not show soil easily. The mating
lined with brown denim and bound
with red tape makes an attractive
color combination. If cloth with
out mating is used it will be neces-
sary to put the pattern double and
place a heavy cardboard between the
outside and the lining in order to
hold the shape when finished. Cotton
tape is used for binding edges to-
gether and for the handles. An OBJ
long piece of black oilcloth sewed
on the underside of the bottom will
protect the pad and keep the cush-
ion dry.
One-half yard of mating, one yard
of denim, one roll of one-inch tape
and one oblong of black oilcloth will
be sufficient to make this pad. Cut
paper pattern by the measurements
given in the illustration. The OBJ
long may be larger or smaller as
desired. When such changes are
made, however, the side ends which
fold around should be made long or
back corners of the square. Cut the
lining first and pin it to the mating
The two edges should be bound at
once with the cotton tape to keep
the mating from raveling.
Cut a strip fifteen by nine inches
for the pocket. Place a one-inch hem
at the top and sew the bottom Of
the pocket along the dotted line on
the inside of the front of the frame
before the sides are folded around
and fastened to the sides of the
bottom. Run rubber band through
the hem to hold the top edge straight
across, but do not stretch the rub
Der. Stitch the sides of the pocket
to the inside Of the front and the
pocket will be finished.
Cut an oblong of black oilcloth for
the bottom and sew it securely
around the edge of the underside Of
the bottom, then fold each side to
| meet the sides of the bottom and
sew them together. Fasten the ends
of one piece of tape, 40 inches long,
to the back corners of the frame;
also sew ends of another piece Of
tape the same length to the lower
front corners Of the frame; fasten

When L think of the mothers and

Times have changed many IDEAS,
many superstitions have been cor

MoTHERs, sUNDAx Day

The annual day for honoring our
mothers living or dead passed in
great peace and quietness. Last year
we were torn up in our feelings
about their boys over there" Thank
God the war stopped and allowed us
a peaceful Mothers day in 1919.
I am going to copy here an old
song that may be familiar to The
Semi Weekly readers, but perhaps
not to all. L learned to play and sing
it in the days of my youth. 1t was
many homes that had young mothers
at the beginning of this year and
that are now desolate from ravages
of the Spanish influenza. feel so
sorry for the motherless little ones
who will never more know the de-
mothers. It was one of the singu-
lar things about the FLU" the NOR
tality among the younger women
who had families while so many aged
lines for the sake of the motherless
children who will read them.
I also give a couple Of verses of
another favorite song: "Be kind to
the Loved Ones at Home 1t rarely
fails to bring a tear to the eyes OF
those who loved and cherished their
own dear parents. On! that ch1ldren
pure affection Of their loving par
entS!
What is home without mother,
What are all the joys that meet,
When her loving smile no longer
Greets the coming of our feet?
The days seem long-the nights are
drear
Ard THINE rolls SLOWLY on:
And oh, how few are childhoods
pleasures,
When her loving care is gone!
Things we prize are first to vanish,
Hearts we love to pass away.
And how soon cen in our childhood,
We behold her turning gray.
Her eyes grow dim-her step is slow,
Her joys of earth are past;
And sometimes, e'er we learn 10
know her,
She has breathed on earth her last.
Older hearts may have their sor-
rows,
Griefs that quickly die away;
But a mother. lost in ch1ldhood'
Grieves the heart from day to day.
We miss her kind and willing hand,
Her fond and earnest care,
And. oh! how dark is life around us
What is home, without her there?
Be kind to thy father, for when thou
vert young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he?
He caught the first accents that fell
from thy tongue
And Joined in thine innocent ,glee.
Be kind to thy father, for now he is
old.
His locks intermingle with gray.
His footsteps are feeble, once fear
less and bold
Thy father is passing away.
Be kind to thy mother. for 10! on her
May traces Of sorrow be seen.
Oh, we'll mayst thou cherish ana
comfort her now,
For loving and kind hath she been.
Remember thy mother. for thee will
she pray.
AS long as God giveth her breath.
With accents of kindness then cheer
her lone way
Fen to the Dark Valley Of Death!
