SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Making the Effort.
ny MIMI.

One thing I'd like to point out to you
definitely-that no relationship in the
world can be maintained satisfactorily
without little effort on both sides.
That's where girls In love. engaged
girls. and married women often make
big mistake. They figure to themselves
that, having attracted the man. won
his love, and acknowledged their Tor
him, the deal is closed.
From then on. they relax comfort-
ably into being their natural selves
lust that and no more. -
That would be all right. little giri
friends, If our natural selves were all
that they should be.
But take any one OF us-take me TOT
instance--and what's the result OF De-
ing Just ones natural self.
By nature I'm a fairly kind soul, but
get irritable with telephone operators,
stale Jokes bore me. and have MOODS
of depression over bad news from nome,
a decrease in salary, or the bad nang
of a new dress. Also I like my 1000
well cooked and I'm apt to raise the
roof II the dinner isn't good.
Not what you'd call brutal nature
but still 1t has its little faults. Now
It's all very well for me to indulge in
these fits of annoyance and boredom
when I'm all by myself with free
evening.
But were engaged, married or ter
ribly in love, 1t would be unwise not 10
make the effort to overcome these little
handicaps In my makeup. All OF you
are alike. You've all got your rough
spots, your cross moods, and your Pc
riods of intense boredom with every
thing in the world.
Has It ever occurred to you that no
matter how well you know the boy
friend you ought to make the effort to
be q bright. cheerful kind OF person
when he's around2
Probably not. Probably you have said
to yourself: Hes mine now, and I'm
through making any effort about II"
Silly of you. isn't It?
No man in the world Is wholly a
woman's unless he loves her truly. He
may be bound to her by law, by pow
erty, by convention. But he isn't truly
hers-and theirs isn't satisfactory
relationship. unless his love for her is
so strong that nothing will ever stamp
her image from his heart.
And to win and hold that kind of
love means effort It means the effort
of erasing frowns from the smooth
white forehead 1t means the effort of
Jerking oneself out Of fit Of indigo
blues.
It means the mental effort of making
conversation when your brain Is taken
up with troubles.
But, oh, it's worth all the struggle.
Because, don't you see, 1t perpetuates
and sustains the relationship which Is
70 give you your greatest happiness in
life. And without some effort on your
part that relationship win deteriorate
into Just another matter-of- fact, cut
and-dried marriage.

needle used. each end viii have four
strands, making tuft OF eight strands
cut about three-eighths Of an inch from
the knot. It Is important to have these
tufts In alternating straight rows In line
with the top OF the quilt.
It Is possible to run q loose, strong
basting thread diagonally from one side
Of the guilt to the other, using long
running stitch and having the thread
pass through each spot marked for tack
ing. This is crude quilting. To quilt
correctly frame Is needed. It can be

The ends which are crossed can be
secured by large. strong clamps. The
frame must be put together exactly at
right angles, or the quilt VIII be crooked.

After patchwork quilts have been
pieced, and all the squares sewed to-
gether to make the desired size, there
still remains the making OF the quilts.
Just how this Is done depends upon
how the squares have been made. For
instance, sometimes the patches are
simply scanned together. The squares
are thin and have no body. They need
TO be lined and interlined. II the pieces
have been sewe6 on to squares Of Cam
ton flannel. the quilts need to be lined
merely. The former method of making
these quilts is generally followed.
II the quits are of cotton. use cot
ton lining. Percale, calico, ordinary
cotton Innings or fabric of these va
