The names Of quilt designs are al
most as variable as those Of the won.
en- who make them. This would seem
to be about the proportion if you
started to find out why a certain quilt
design is known to us by one name
and by a totally different to some one
else. 1t may be that the name We
give to the design is local. That is,
it might be so called In our section
of the country and nowhere else, yet
the pattern be found in quite another
section and by quite another name.
This happens SO repeatedly that it is
one of the notable features OF quilt
lore.
1t is almost impossible also to know
what caused the quilt designs in many
instances to be named as they are.
The quilt that is shown today and
that is to be known as the Wash
ington pavement pattern may bear
totally unlike name to some OF you.
IL 50. wish you would write me and
tell me about it.
Strange Divergence.
A curious thing about the pattern
is its regularity that is decidedly at
variance with the streets Of Washing
ton. That city, as you know, is laid
out like dial, with streets radiating
from the Capitol in much the same
way as the streets OF Paris radiate
from the Arc de Triumph that forms
the center Of the Etoile (star1 OF ra-
dating avenues. It may be that some
woman returning from a trip to
Washington in the early days design
ed this pattern and called it the
Washington pavement in remem-
brance of her delightful visit. Or can
it be that the designer intended the
central square to indicate the Capitol
and the others touching it to repre-
sent radiating streets. II so. one has
to use a vivid imagination to under
stand why she created this design.
Another Theory.
A more feasible idea Is that the de-
sign represents some special pave

CHAPTER XIV.
Afterward.

Tony was the type of man who loveG
and rode away, but he seldom Went
as far as this, particularly with
stenographer.
But there had been something tanta'
lizingly provocative about Jill as she
stood there at the door. Man like, he
had wanted to see If there were
warmth under the snow.
AS. she stood away from him jill
was still breathing unsteadily. She
knew also that later she would suffer.
She loved Tony Mcclure. Absolutely
and finally. She was fiercely glad of
the fact that she was leaving be-
cause he must never know. She knew
quite we'll that the moment in his
arms meant absolutely nothing to him.
He was a trifler!
Even now he was recovering him
self. That lazy smile of his was cross
ing his face.
"As / said before" he remarked
lightly. ''you are a darling"
Perhaps, even though she was al
ready convinced, Jill had been expect
ing him to say something different.
Perhaps she had hoped against hone
that her estimate of him was wrong.
Because, when she heard his words, Il
cold hand seemed to close around her
heart, and for a moment she felt al
most physically ill., Then she heard
her own voice speaking quite evenly
Its very good of you to say that"
Inwardly she was Feviling herself.
Why did she love him? Why? Why?
Why?
He was a pfilanderer. Not only
that. but in spite of the fact that he
had held her In his arms and kissed
her, he hadn't really felt very deeply.
She despised herself. She who had
been going to conquer the world of
men and then choose among them had
been utterly vanquished by a man who
was unworthy. Woman-Stuff again!
She wished she hadn't been born a
woman.
She turned to go, and Tony breathed
a sigh of relief. What had possessed
him to make such a fool of himself?
He was glad that she was carrying the
thing off lightly. Because, of course.
there had been nothing behind it. He
had simply yielded to the impulse to
kiss a pretty woman, that was all.
Jill slipped out of the door and he
turned back aimlessly to his desk. He
hesitated a moment and then sat down
in his chair. For some strange rea-
son he felt restless and ill at ease.
Perhaps it was because Jill was so diff
ferent from other women he had
known. There was mysterious some
thing about her that he couldn't quite
understand. No woman had ever re-
pulsed him, but he could imagine that
this woman might have resented his
behavior. The thought bothered him.
Oh, well. why worry about it? She
was leaving Saturday.
Strange, though. that she hadn't
taken old John. Not that he was in
spring, but he had a good income. He
was making more money than any
man this girl would eventually marry.
OF course, he was rather dull and

Venetian blinds can give a room =
peculiar. cool, dusky, remote atmos-
phere that can be achieved by no
other means. They were always used
in the stately colonial homes of the
old South.
They are made up Of series of
wooden Stats, strung together in such
way that they can be adjusted TO
admit Sits of light of varying widths
and at different angles. Thus they
may admit light and air, but exclude
sunlight.
When these blinds are used in the
Summer living room it is usual to
have single overcurtain to soften
the windows line.
The old-time blinds were painted
dark green, but many vivid shades are
used today. The overcurtains used
here are a bright -hued cretonne in
which there is bit Of brilliant jade

adopted for the blinds. IT,.

DIARY OF A

Sunday Evening.
BY BOB DICKSON.

Sunday Evening.
Well. I live and learn, Just as the
copy books tell you to do. and the
latest is that If you undress your
baby and take him out in the sun
shine, why he will get the same
things for nothing that you pay for
when you buy him cod liver oil and
oranges. and you would be crazy to
walk over to the store and pay them
for just little bit when you can have
any amount delivered free right in
the back yard. which is where we are
going to give the baby sun baths.
Nature made both cod liver oil and
sunshine, only nobody has put sun
shine in bottles and charged you for
it yet
This afternoon I was playing with
the baby, and I was making funny
faces at him and growing, sort of,
on account of that usually being a
swell way to give him good time
cheap. but today he just sat there and
looked at me. kind of dumb, and l
said. We'll, it isn't as if you had

preciate my funny faces any more. /
should dislocate my jaw all afternoon
for nothing" Joan said. Il don't
think the baby is feeling very cheer
full. He has had that cough for about
week, and I'm beginning to get
worried"
I said, Wed better get the doctor
if it has been hanging on that long"
and Joan said. "Oh. no; / think it
will get better. I am going to start
giving him sun baths tomorrow"
l said, Sun baths?" and she said.

ment IN Washington that she found
laid out in tesselated pattern. If the
woman had lived today In West Rox-
bury. Mass, she might have called
the design the West Roxbury pave
ment, for that pleasant place boasts
a tesselated pavement on one side OF
its shady streets. 1t will be seen by
this that like reason might be cause
for two varying names.
Cube Lattice Pattern.
The fact that Mrs Herbert Hoover
chose as one wedding gift for her sons
bride the design sometimes called the
cube lattice" for quilt made by the
House in Washington
will no doubt cause this design to be
called the Hoover design as well as
the cube lattice by many persons. 1t
is but a coincidence, but worth men,
tioning in connection with the design,
that it has part of the same design
used in the Washington pavement
given today. The cube lattice-or shall
we say Hoover design?-is composed
Of intersecting patchwork stripes in
the identical form of the five center
blocks used in this Washington pave
ment design. The stripes inclose in
dented square patches of delicately
sprigged blue material, while the other
squares forming the stripes are of
white and of the blue spTigged goods.
Combinations.
In the Washington pavement design
the pattern is carried out in just the
reverse order. Stripes are of plain
goods with the squares of patchwork.
The edges of the, patchwork squares
are cut straight, as are the edges of
the intersecting stripes, instead of at
angles, to conform to the design in the
cube lattice pattern.

Salient Points Of the Play.

Trick EAST reads Vests opening
lead OF the three of Spades the Deuce
being in Dummy as from the lowest
of four cards. Conventionaliy 1t must
have been either the fourth best Spade
or a singleton, and West considers 1t
more likely to have been the former.
If West held four Spades, then South
Ace must have been a singleton. Ii
so, East by leading a Spade can force
the strong trump hand, and upon OBJ
tanning the lead with the Ace of
Trumps can force it again. This APP
parently natural method of play is de-
parted from by West after further
analysis. He reads South's lead of
Diamonds as for the purpose of enter
ing Dummy in order to lead Trumps
therefrom and as a start toward the
establishment of the Diamond suit
West cannot have more than three
Diamonds, for then South could have
held but a singleton and would not
have finessed. With no more than
three, West, if holding the Queen,
with the Ace, Jack, nine in Dummy,
would have played it, leaving the
further defense of the suit to his part
ner. South, therefore, must hold the
Queen, and cannot hold the ten with
it, since then he would naturally have
led the Queen. West, therefore, must
hold the ten. and since the eight was
undoubtedly his lowest Diamond, he
can have only the ten remaining. Con-
sequently East returns a Diamond
with a view to giving West a Dia-
mond ruff on the third round.
Trick 5--West ruffs a Diamond, and
