Mr.. Pickens, who is very force
full, humorous and deliberate speak
err, first called the attention of his
hearers to the fact that the Associa-

would Give awhile" and "die awhile"
as had been the case in the past.
He was loud in his praise Of the Ma

Mr.. Pickens also stated that there

so that if there was any community
in the United States that should
fight jim-crowism and wrongs heap
ed upon oclored people, it was Rich
mond, Virginia. He made it plain
that the National Associations aim
was not to engender i'll feeling, but
that good feeling must be based on
Justice. He said that he did not know
of any ace of people in the world

always had in her hand.

little object that you could think of Fair

or paper cover, it was covered with brilliantly

BLANKETS for your bed in the Summer time
are out Of the question. There will be
many nights, however, when your windows are
raised "sky-high" and the cool breezes blow
In, that you will want light throw to toss over
the bed so that you will be comfortable, yet not
too warm. Then, Of course, you will want a
pillow to match so that your bed may be kept
as dainty as your room.
This throw Is light in weight yet warm:
simple in design, yet attractive. ANY material
such as poplin which Is so inches wide may
be used. Even some bolts Of cretonne come
in this width. If you use patterned material
it can always be pieced In an inconspicuous
place. The throw is lined with flannel to har-
monte or match the outside material and
since the flannel is 81 inches wide you will not
need to piece it. The throw is bound in braid
or pretty tape, and a lace flower a silk one
is appliqued on the center point of both pillow
and throw.
You will need % yards for the outside Of
the throw, 2H yards of flannel and yards Of
braid or cord Cut the throw rs inches long and
the flannel l II inches shorter, making it fit the
outside Stitch the two together. Where the
outside Is longer turn it over the flannel lining
and stitch. The hemmed end is turned under
IA inches to make a foot pocket where cold toes
are tucked. Then shape the bottom to points.
Next trim all excess seams, turn in the outer

edges Of the throw and whip the braid in place.
A little pocket Sewed IN the upper edge next to
the flannel will afford a place for a night
handkerchief.
The pillow is oval or round with the same
design in the center. Cut it in semi-circle
IA inches deep and 20 inches across. Bind the
edges with braid or tape. 1t can be lined with
flannel, also and stuffed with old soft material,
thus eliminating a pillow inside the outside
throw or cover These pillows are so soft and
cuddly that they fairly beg you for a moment
of quiet relaxation.
