The renaissance of tapestries as
wall hangings, not only in the homes
of magnificence, but in those of hum
bier decorations, is one of interest.
Today there are all sorts of tapestries.
many of them so called by sort of
conventional courtesy rather than be-
cause they exhibit the real charac-
teristics of needlepoint. Designs are
the criterion. Fortunately these are
generally true to type. But it is well
for those who plan to buy even sim
something of what genuine tapestries
are like. Tapis means needle, and
they really are pictures wrought by
the needle in the hands of patient
workers. Later there were tapestry
looms manipulated by hand. but in
far more mechanical ways. Today we
have tapestries of various sorts. woven
entirely by machinery in old-time style
OF designs, and even in furniture COW
erings that display pictorial traits.
1t is the scenic tapestries that are
now the vogue for wall hangings, and
it lies within the power of any person
planning to buy one to find out some
thing authentic about tapestries. Ii
hraries. however. small. will have
some books on them, and even en-
cyclopedias and dictionaries tell some
specific details or give excellent def
nitions that are helpful.
Problems of Hanging.
When a tapestry has been decided
upon there comes the problem of how
to hang it. There are two ways, one
for large tapestries and one for the
smaller picture sizes. The large tap
estry holds its shape sufficiently of
itself. With the multiplicity of differ
ent threads necessary to bring out
the picture pattern. good body to
the fabric results. which together with
the size secures sufficient evenness
when hung. Small tapestries of light
threads and less weight require to be
held firmly in position.

that it was a big rabbit who was
doing the humping. 1t must be that
handsome stranger who was doing the
humping, the one he was looking for.
He knew now exactly where that
humping was coming from. It was
coming from q certain bramble-tangle
through which he himself had cut
paths when he first came up to the
Old Pasture, expecting to stay there.
This in itself was enough to make
Peter very angry. He didn't like the
idea of some one else using his paths.
Peter longed to thump a challenge
to this strange rabbit. But he didn't
do it. Instead, he took the greatest
care not to let that other rabbit know
that he was about. Very carefully he
crept nearer and nearer. At last he
reached place where he could look
into that bramble-tangle. There sat
a big rabbit. He was fine looking
rabbit. Much as he d.sliked to, Peter
had to admit this. He was young.
good looking and big. He thumred
strongly with his hind feet. There
was an answer-a light thump from
nearby. Peter waited.
Just a few minutes later much
smaller rabbit appeared. She entered
the bramble-tangle and went over and
touched noses with the stranger.
Peter saw it all very plainly. 1t was
little Mrs. Peter who was touching
noses with this handsome stranger.
1t was just what he had expected.
Yet. now that he saw it, he couldn't
believe it. His suspicious were con-
firmed. You know that means that
they were proven well founded Much
as he dislIked to, he had to believe
his own eyes. There was Mrs. Peter
touching noses with this stranger He
had heard this stranger thump, he
had heard Mrs. Peter answer, and
now there they We're together right
before his eyes. He was flied with
such jealous anger that he didn't
hear another thump not very far
away. But the stranger heard it and
l. swered it instantly.

A certain health specialist quotes
the case of a concert singer who at
the age of IS. had reached the extraor-
binary weight of 22s pounds. He
was made to diet as follows. For Is
days he took glass of orange juice
three times a da:'. and then or be.

cold baths a day were also prescribed.
This was to work off poisons In the

sounds drastic. but any young man
who at the age of 35 weighed 223
pounds would certainly need drastic
treatment! He has reduced to normal
weight. and his singing voice has been
better ever since because he had been
suffering from enlarged tonsils, which
were also reduced as the result Of
this diet and fast.
You may think that you cannot fast.

To hang a large tapestry. cover a
strip of wood the width of the piece,
using some inconspicuous dark ma
teriai. This can be tackled or tightly
held by glue to the wood. Use fine
tacks with covered heads for faSten-
ing the top of the tapestry to the
covered strip of wood. They should
be invisible when the tapestry Is
hung The work must be so done that
the fabric will hang straight down
when on the wall. When hanging the
tapestry, use picture wire run through
screw-eyes in the ends of the wood
and again along the wood at inter
walls if the tapestry is very large.
Suspend from moulding with picture
hooks. Any creases that may be found
in the tapestry will come out after
it is hung q little while, though the
tapestry should have been rolled, not
folded. prior to being hung.
Smaller Tapestries.
A small picturesque tapestry can be
stretched on a frame or board and
tackled along the edges, and then be
framed in a dark brown flat wooden
frame that is inconspicuous. There
should be nothing to detract from the
tapestry. and a bright frame, instead
of enhancing the beauty. as some
times happens in painted pictures,
mars the charm of the woven picture.
If the tapestry is to be hung with
out a frame, it must be tackled to a
stretcher frame or to a backing of
wood, so that the tacks are not visi-
BILE. or. at least, are as inconspicuous
as possible. Covered headed tacks. or
even dull thumb tacks with small
heads, can be used. The framed small
tapestry is in a setting to suit it's
needs better than the unframed ones.
Sometimes very small tapestries are
merely tackled to wall above a con-
sole table, but they are inclined to

 The plan was inaugurated by De- tective Chief William P. O'Connor, but the gangsters on whom it was tried put up such a legal battle that the police and Chicago's municipal psychologists decided to proceed eau tiously until a comprehensive cam paign could be mapped out.
