 Paper Patterns Invented
 When doing home dressmaking and using paper patterns, have you ever stopped to think by whom and when they were invented. The following was taken from the Dry Goods Econ omist:
 Paper patterns were invented by Mrs. Ellis. living in Manchester, England The writer states that four years before the Franco-Prussian war, or in 1866, Mrs. Ellis designed colored tissue models and sold them with flat patterns ready for use. These were sold for five guineas each, about $25, and a large business was built up at Liverpool. Four times year jour neys were made to Paris to buy de signs for the coming season, and from these the new patterns were drawn. '
 s. s. Convention At New Haven
 Miss Mary Wheaton, who is to be the new superintendent of the Sunday school of the Congregational church left on "Wednesday to attend the State Sunday School convention held al New Haven. While there she was tho guest of Mir. and Mrs. Walder Wright, who formerly lived in Put nam, Mrs. Wright before her mar riage being Gladys Murfey.

Silken Past

SIX Week Talks By Personal
Service
In the Province of Setsu in
Japan stands an ancient temple,
beautiful to look upon and
legends say that this temple was
erected in memory of those who
carried the secret of silk making
to Japan.
Long ago the japanese lent
Koreans to the emperor of China
to learn the Celestial secret of
silk making.
These Koreans brought back
with them four Chinese girls,
who taught the art of silk weav-
ing to the japanese.
And to their memory and
skill was the temple at Setsu
built, and it stands today as
guardian of the ever-increasing
silk industry of the Orient.
