A quilting frame Of whatever sort is
an awkward article to manage, but the
quilting itself is not difficult. The work
should be so planned that consecutive
time can be given to the stitchery Do
not imagine doing 1t at one time, but
on consecutive days. In the interims
between periods of work the frame can
remain resting on law horses, if the
worker is so fortunate as to have them,
and can spare room or space in a
garage, so that moving 1t can be
avoided.
The frame can be rested on tables or
chair backs. Where space is con-

where it can be leaned against a wall,

1t is important to have the quilt
poSitioned in some one of the ways

under it while the stitching goes on.
The worker can sit in chair or a
stool while she sews, changing its place
from time to time, so that reaching

Ing the decorative patchwork squares,
there is q demand to know how to
make the finished patchwork into quilts.
just how, for instance, is the quilt put
into frame and what are the frames,
and how is the work actually done?
Before the quilting begins there must
be three portions ready to complete the
comforter" namely, patchwork top.
best interlining is wool wadding, but
cotton batting can be used. Spread the
lining on an extension dining room
table, a bed, or on the floor. Cover
smoothly with the interlining and tack
1t here and there with basting threads.
Lay the patchwork top above the wad-
ding and smooth 1t down over it, so
that all lines are absolutely even with
the squared edges of the lining. Tack
this top to the two other portions
already basted correctly.
In olden times a quilting frame was
essential for the work. Today curtain
stretchers can be substituted, or four
strips of wood, two as long as the
it. Use large clamps for fastening cor
nerS together. 1t is important to have
the corners perfect right-angles.
Tack the edges of the quilt prepared
as described to the frame, or press
them down firmly onto the pins, If a
curtain stretcher is used. It is adj

She said again: Keep still, tell
you. Don't tickle my feet"
The count denied that he had done
anything of the sort. Thinking some
insect might have gotten under the
cover, they arose, put on light and
made careful examination. They
found nothing, so extinguished the
light and returned to bed.
They had scarcely composed Them

~ DONALD A. cRArn-

August 1S, 1S65.-Maj. Gen. Terry.
commanding the Department Of Viz
ginia, has found 1t necessary, the War
Department announced today, to issue
an order making tt clear to the Union
troops OF his command that the war
has not yet terminated In such a sense
as to entitle them to be mustered out
of the service and 60 home.
He calls attention to the fact that
there are still Confederate armies IN
the field, and, according to the procia-
nation of President johnson. Virginia
and other Southern States are still in
state of instruction and without
civil governments, or with imperfect
civil governments
His order declares that until civil
authority shall be fully restored and
until those States shall have returned
to their former relations TO the National
Government, it cannot be said that the
war has actually been brought to q
close.
This order was occasioned by the
fact that many men in Maj. Gen.
Terry's command, having enlisted to
serve during the war" were now Of
the opinion that they were being held
in the army longer than they should be.
Officers of every grade in the Depart
ment of Virginia are reminded by Gen.
Terry that they are responsible for
the discipline and good conduct of
their commands, and that to their re-
sponsibilities they will be rigidly held"
No relaxation of discipline or negligence
In the performance of military duties
will be permitted to pass unnoticed, de-
clareS Gen. Terry in this order.
The importance of the Ffeedmen's
Employment Agency under Capt. Spur
gin Is beginning to be appreciated
here, where 1t is located, and in other
parts of the country. This was indi-
Gated today by the large number Of
applications for aid that are being re-
ceived from the District of Columbia
and various States from colored men
and women who are eager to 60 to
work and earn enough money to sup
port themselves.
The supply of workers Is not adequate
to the growing demand from farmers
and others In some of the Northern
States. The Freedmen's commissioner
at Richmond has been asked to supply
any surplus.

Agreements between friends that II
ore dies he will endeaver to give vi-
dence to the other of another world
have been frequent, and, If records Of
psychic phenomena are to be credited,
have been fulfilled on more than one
occasion.
Many of these experiences have been
extremely unpleasant. For instance,
Rambouillet and the Marquis Of
Precy.
The two noblemen, both skeptical,
were discussing In Paris the after life
and agreed that the one dying first
should bring news of his death to the
other. The Marquis of Rambouiliet
then left for Flanders, where war held
sway. He was in perfect health, while
the Marquis of Precy, who remained
in Paris, was i'll with a severe fever,
from which, however, he soon re-
covered.
Six weeks later the Marquis of Preey
was lying abed when the curtains were
drawn and he perceived the Marquis
Rambouillet standing just outside
them in a buff jacket and boots. He
leaped from bed to embrace his friend,
but Rambouillet stepped back.
ut is not in the flesh who have

you that all that has been said Of the
other life is true. Nay, you must
change your way Of life. You, too,
will soon die"
Precy perceived he either had been
dreaming or had seen an appaTition.
He did not know what to think. In a
few days he received word that the
Marquis of Rambeuillet had been
killed IN Flanders. Apprehension
Himself called to war, some time
later. he received fatal wounds.
This was all sombrely tragic. But
an adventure In this category can be
whimsical, as is evidenced by the one
in which Count Charles Galateri of a
noted Piedmont family and his friend,
Lieut.. Virgini, figured.
These two WORTHLESS were discussing
| spiritualisn1, in which Lieut.. Virginf
refused to believe. The result was that,
in Jest. they promised that the one

The sketch shows an armlet of small

of very small roses and not more than
q yard of narrow ribbon to match the
flowers. From the ribbon make the
foundation for the two arnlets and
the short straps that attach the arm
lets to the dress. Separate the flowers
and cut of all but q short piece of
stem and sew them neatly on the arm

and the other ends Of the straps TO

Memory Illusions.

You may make the world of reality
over into all sorts Of fa1sities II you let
your imagination have It's way.
Children, especially, often experience
some difficulty In distinguishing what
they fancy might happen from what &C
tually does happen. Truth-teaching
parents are ut . loss to know what to
make Of some of the stories their chill
dren relate. But If they viii only study
the situation carefully these same par
ents may discover the origin Of the
story in some other story previously
read or related to the child.
The same thing happens often enough
among adults, trying to tell the truth
and nothing but the truth" in court
room. You may actually see the main
events in question. But with the pass
ing of time your imagination nils In the
details you either overlooked or had
no way Of finding out at the time. So
when you came to tell your story you
are easily mistaken.
The reason is simple Your mind Is
always striving for . complete picture
You tinconsciously draw upon your
stock of memories Of other events for
the details you are called upon to de-
scribe.
The testimony Of . single eyewitness
to almost any event is at best O. proba-
bility. The veracity Of the witness has
nothing to do with the case. The most
truthful person IN the world will mag
inc the details of a situation and then
mistake these images for memories
When you mistake an image for q
memory, you have what is, known as q

There are two ways of keeping the

the other is by massage. Obviously the
facial muscles have to be maSsaged, al

I creamed, II there Is any tendency TO-
ward lax muscles. In this case the
massage strokes are from the tip Of the
chin down into the throat. This Is the
ordinary sort of massage for keeping
muscles firm. and Is best II used with
nourishing oil or q fairly thick massage
cream.
A double chin requires q different sort
of treatment. The massage should be
, much harder, for one thing, to break
up the fat under the skin. also It
should be followed by prolonged rub
bling with ice, the rubbing lasting quite
10 minutes. 1t Is absolutely necessary
when breaking up and scattering fat
under the chin to shrink the skin so 1t
will not hang in loose bags The ex-
IRENE cold of the ice rub is wonder
| full tonic for slack muscles, yet even
, 50 a certain amount Of massage is
necessary.
The exercise for chin muscles is as
| follows: Tip the head back as far as
possible with the mouth open. While
| the head is still bent back, shut the
mouth. This motion stretches the
muscles still further, but the stretch
ing in this case is very beneficial. Re-
peat this for at least two full minutes.
I think it will save you time If you
rub massage cream or oil on the skin
| first, wipe of at the end of the exercise
and rub with ice.
