MAKE YOUR OWN BED QUILT

BY Carolyn Sherwin Bailey
Snow flying, frost pinching, and
coal scarce! Who cares? The very
best thing for your health is to
sleep with your windows open. and
the heat turned off. You will enjoy
it if you have plenty of covers. Why
not make your own bed quilt?
The Patched Quilt
The diamond and the box pat
terms are the most attractive to use
and they will be the closest immi-
tation of the old fashioned quilt, so
scarce now, and so vauable. The
diamond patch is made by first cut
ting a paper pattern of a geometric
diamond figure the size that you
wish. Then cut your cloth by this
pattern in patches of contrasting
colors. Plain blue and white and
pink and white will be pretty. Sew
the diamonds together on the wrong

side with the small over and over
stitches.
The box pattern Is made by com
binding diamond patches in threes
so as to make the geometric box
figure. Then sew the boxes to-
gether as you did the diamonds.
The quilt, plain lining first, then
a layer of cotton batting, and last
the patched top, is fastened to
quilting frames. Then invite your
girl friends to an old fashioned
quilting bee, with biscuits, pie and
doughnuts for supper!
A Chintz Comfortable
II you can use a sewing machine,
you can make soft dainty quilt
for your own room to match the
curtains. Stitch ChintZ in gay
pattern so as to make a large, bag
shaped covering the right size for
your bed. Then stitch it on the
machine up and down its length,
leaving a space of about six inches
between the rows. Gather all the
soft, old material that you can find
for stuffing it, cotton old stockings
old linen, scraps of silk, or ravel-
ings of yarn An old sweater, raw
elled, is splendid.
Fill the spaces in the quilt betw-
cen the rows of stitching with this
material, and finish it by binding
the edges with plain cambria or
ribbon to contrast with the colors
of the chintz.

OF a struggle which did not end
happily for the hunted animal.
1t is much easier to follow the
trail when the ground is covered
with snow soft enough to take
footprints clearly, but mud will
show them and so will sand and
dust. You can sometimes find
deer. tracks along a dusty road
Even near big city, bits of country
may be reached in a short time
where you can find tracks of some
kind of wild creatures. They may
be rabbit tracks, three toed and in
close cluster which show the deep
Impressions of long jumps or a
weasle's narrow tracks, or the deli
cate footprints of the meadow
mouse and his relatives.
Remember that a deer track re.
sembles that of cow but is very
much smaller; a fox track is like
a dogs with often the imprint of
hairs between the toes. Mice and
squirrel tracks look much alike,
only the squirrels are good deal
larger.
