Winsome Bluebird and Mrs. Win
some were now well established in
their home in the Old Orchard But
Ninsome couldn't forget that splendid
little house up in Farmer Browns
dooryard. Even while their nest was
being built he would slip away once
in while to so over and look ut that
house.

Then she would have discovered II

Winsome the more l learn"
Now. Winsome and Mrs. Wpsome

quite early. The only people who were
house hunting when they arrived We're
Bully, the English Sparrow. and Mrs.
Bully; Speckles. the Startling. and Mrs.
Speckles, and Tommy Tit. the Chicka-
dee, and Mrs. Tommy. The latter We're

Mr.. and Mrs. Winsome had their nest
completed and four light-blue eggs in
it before any one had taken possession
Of that nice new house up in Farmer
Browns dooryard.
Now that there were eggs Winsome
had more time TO himself. He could
do things without the knowledge of
Mrs. Winsome. So he used to slip IN
to that house quite often. He would
sit beside II and whistle that soft
plaintlve whistle of his and pretend
that 1t was his house and that Mrs.
Winsome was in it. instead of over in
the Old Orchard. Sometimes he would
poke his head in. Once in a while
he would go into 1t.
Then. one morning when he flew up
there to Farmer Browns dooryard, he
discovered two old friends darling and
circling about and twittering joyously.
They were Skinner, the Tree Swallow,
and Mrs. Skinner. Winsome hurried
to give them greeting. But he didn't
give them greeting as he had intended
to. You see, just as he reached the
dooryard, Mrs. Skinner entered that
little house that Winsome had come
to regard as his own. Then she sat in
the doorway and twittered and twit-
tered, while Skinner sat on little

Usefulness in Open Dressers.

Women interested in antiques were
ers in the shops. Later the usefulness
of the open dresser attracted the at
tention of others, and many who have
bought new dressers, or intend to, CEN
tered their attention on the open va
riety.
Open dressers are also known as
Dutch dressers, but there is no differ
ence other than the name. When
buying these dressers ask for models.
The original open dressers are rare
and command fairly high prices.
When buying the open dresser it
should be remembered that there are
several types, and there is probably
one type better adapted than the
others to ones use.
Among the styles included under the
one name of open dresser are open
shelved dressers, cupbOards, and cabi-
nets for holding china. porcelains, pot
terry and pewter. These dressers will
be found most useful by the woman
who wants a piece Of furniture to store
some things and display others. The
open dresser makes an ideal place for
the display of ones household treas
upes in plate, pottery and silver
If your other furniture Is of a
severe nature and you want a dresser
to match, try to secure a Brittany,
Dutch or early English dresser. They
are excellent for displaying fine wares
because they do not distract attention
from them. These cabinets look their
best when made of fine-grained walnut.
and IL you decide upon an English
cabinet you will most likely get it in
walnut.
Often glass doors are added to these
open dressers or cabinets. When they
are present make certain that they
have been given as slender a setting
of wood as is practical. The line
where the doors open should not OBJ
scure ones view of the things behind
1t. Among the modern versions of the
open dresser three-shelve models with

and Mrs. Skinner, flew at him and
drove him back to the Old Orchard.
Winsome went back home quite upset
They've taken my house and now
they won't let me anywhere near" he
kept saying over and over To himself
1T isn't nice of them at all. / just
wanted to be neighborly."
Later that day Winsome tried IL

Skinner were not to be seen. Win

sat on the perch close by the doorway
Then he whistled softly and happily
Rut he didn't whistle a second time,

Skinner, with Mrs. Skinner close be-
hind him. They came so suddenly that
they caught Winsome before he could
spread his wings. They knocked him
off his perch.

own. so keep away from this"
And for a while Winsome did.

Beauty Plus.

To be neatly dressed. to have good
features, a clear skin and a trim fig
ure-all these things would seem to be
enough to satisfy any woman, but the
truth is that they form only the start
ing point or foundation for the sort
of beauty most of us crave. One of
my readers expressed this universal
desire aptly--"I am moderately good
looking and well dressed" she says,
but my ambition is to be considered
very we'll dressed, charming and at
tractive."
There are many pretty girls and
many who are passably so, but how

good portions of garments as could be
culled from WORKOUT clothes. If there
were large pieces employed in the pat
tern Of a quilt, it signified that there
was plenty of a certain kind of mate
rial or garment to use without more
cutting.
The design was made to conform to
the cloth and the quilt had what
might be called a proud and prosper
Gus significance. 1t did not imply lack
Of thought on the part of the worker
nor any touch of laziness in the max
ing of the quilt, but a Discrimination to
spoil good cloth for the demands Of
small motifs.
Beauty and Patches.
The small number Of old quilts with
big pieces in them, however, is evil
dence of one of two things-either
there were very few garments that

in such mundane things as bed quits
and at others with the piquant lowell
ness of a colonial coquette or court

More than half a century has
elapsed since the interest in patchwork
quilts was as keen as it Is today
Gradually the vogue for modern ap
pliQue patchwork has been tending to-
ward the revival of the quaint. Old
time type of pieced fabrics, made en-
tirely by the sewing Of small bits OF
material together into a large surface
of goods. This was the work that the
early settlers in this country had to
do because Of the lack of woven stuffs
available. 1t was not a handwork OF
their invention, but one which was
practiced in the mother country
whose people excel in thrifty methods.
1t was thrift plus necessity that fos-
tered the work in America, for all
woven material must either be
brought from over the seas or the en-
tire process OF spinning the yarn and
weaving the cloth be done by the
women's own hands and by their own
f1resides. Cloth was priced both for
it's scarcity and its cost or labor TO
make.
Careful Planning.
We can scarcely be thankful enough
to these busy home makers for their
insiStence on beauty in their quilts.
They might so easily, under pressure
of arduous housekeeping tasks, have
sewed large bits Of cloth together in a
haphazard way to make whole sur
faces for the needed -'coveriids. But
not they! With painstaking care and
precision. they cut and trimmed down
small bits OF fabric to conform TO a
design Of their own invention or one
remembered from their more palmy
days in the far-distant home towns.
Cutting and Fitting.
Often the designs reversed the order
in the adage, "Cut your coat to fit
your cloth" 1t was the cloth that
was cut to fit the coat or dress, That
is, designs were utilized that would
use up to best advantage such srnan,
