make such charming cushions from old
blankets! 1t can be done in this way,
IL they are of light color. For the
round cushion cut from the blanket one
circle eighteen inches and one eight
inches in diameter. Dye the outer
circle any pretty dark color and the
inner one a somewhat lighter shade.
Embroider the design in brightly colored
worsteds. Applique tho smaller circle
to the larger, and finish the cushion.
For the square one. cut a square eight

THE DAILY NOVELETTE,
Pdtty's Talent
BY IRENE CHRISTIE

A very. tired. hot and dusty-loolng
traveller toiled UP the seemingly never
ending hill, across a little flower
bordered lawn and knocked timidly at
the open door Of a small white cottage
The knock was answered by q click OF
heels, swish OF skirts and o delighted
incredulous exclamation.
why, Patricia Moore -
Hello, Agnes dear. I've come al
last, but you do find the most out-of-
the way places. Coming up that hill
takes away all the pleasure of going
down, doesn't it?"
We like It. But never mind the
hill; come and have a cup of tea and
tell me where you have been and what
you are doing"
Patty followed her friend into the
sunny little living room and sank
gratefully into a deep armchair. please

here in the morning. Dad says he never

effect of her announcement, but Agnes
only smiled and nodded.

"Oh, jacks been talking. Hmm

sympathy and dad told him what I've
done"
Well. never mind; Wallace will be

There was malice in her voice and she
was still smiling. but there was some

didn't say why you left school"
We'll, you see, wrote that story
| during study periods and when exams
came l funked Father said he wouldn't t
allow me to disgrace family, which for
generations had graduated from college
with honors, so I left. Isn't your tea
getting cold. Agnes?"
So Mrs. Miller, with swift glance
at Patty's averted face, subdued her
| curiosity. but long after Patty had
| gone to change her dress and rest
little. she sat with hands folded above
cup of tea, thinking hard. and some
time later telephone conversation
| buzzed over the wires.

Jacks speaking"
This is Agnes, and Patty has just

"Patty-No"
Couldn't you come down, Jack?"
Has she sent for me?"
Mercy, no."
Then don't SEQ how can
Don't be foolish, Jack. You know
Patty will never make the first move,
and really she is dreadfully cut up about
something. Anyway. 1t Is up to you now,
Jack. Good-by."
And when Patty came back. Agnes
was still endeavoring to drink cold tea
that was too sweet. That night. having
gathered what she was pleased to call
rich material for story, Patty sat at
her desk far into the night, writing
page after page of her new ideas. and
not long before dawn she placed the
much pencil-marked pages together, Sc

stood at the window gazing at the white

through the trees came the faintest

"Why, that's about where Jacks

called them, set out down the road to
the camp. She found it. half hidden
among tall trees, the door open. the
