A RUG IN PLAIN KNITTING, WHICH


The woman who goes through her
wardrobe at the change of seasons finds
some dresses which are not wearable,
and the question is what to do with
them. In the days of our forebears
there seems to have been so definite a
delight in transforming such garments
into rugs that before they were badly
worn some must have been made into
needed floor-coverings. Today, this
same purpose is as good as then. To
be sure, frocks are not so voluminous,
and not so much is available from mod
ern dresses. But, to balance this,
women have more dresses than they
used to consider needed. The amount
of rags therefore to be transformed into
rugs does not vary materially.
The woman who would use this prac-
teal method of dressing up her floors
With rugs from old frocks has many
crafts to choose from in the process.
If she delights in knitting, there are
excellent ways of using this craft. If
she prefers crocheting, beautiful rugs
can be fashioned in this work. Neither
Of these crafts requires an equipment
other than knitting or crocheting
needles. Hooked rugs require both
hook and a frame to insure straight
and perfectly shaped rugs. / have
known women who could hook beauti-
full rugs without any frame, but an
amateur would be unwise to attempt 1t.
Directions for knitting tile rug will
be sent to any one wishing them who

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BIZ MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

fair to withdraw from my present Job
and compete with my employer"
Most women would agree heartily
that you are perfectly justified in set
ting up In business for yourself, If the
opportunity to do. so has been pre-
sented. Your employer would not hesi-
tate to discharge you were your services
unsatisfactory. and there Is no reason
why you should be dependent on her for
livelihood.
Some women think it disloyalty to
desert ones employer and take ones
following to ones own place of BUSH
ness. Yet, IL no unfair practices are
employed, it Is Just open and above
board competition. True, you were en-
abled TO develop following by working
Tor the other woman, but you were also
earning money for her. The fact that
you developed q following has benefited
her already.
Before actually Withdrawing from
your present position it might be con-
sidered civil TO announce your inten-
tons to your employer. Tell her that
you feel that your services are being
undervalued and underpaid and that
unless she is willing to offer you ade-
quate inducements you will leave and
establish your own business.
IL Is likely that you viii receive no
offer. but at least you have done the
fair and honorable thing After all, the
business Of your former patrons is open
to all shops and you are entitled to
compete for 1t. BY accepting q posi-
ton one doesn't sign any oath of sub
servience. There is an exchange Of
money for services
You are justly entitled to the income
earned by your efforts. II you cannot
secure 1t in your present position. it is
advisable as well as justifiable to OBJ
tain 1t elsewhere. There is no more
reason for dtscounting the value of your
services than there Is for discounttng
the prices In your shop.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
By HERBERT PLuMNaER.

vile West wrote the letter which. led 10
his departure for home one bleak day
the next December.
The Ambassador intended the letter
for q single individual whom he asked
to vote for the free trade candidate
for President.
But it received wide circulation, with
the result that 1t was seen as an EFFORT
TO direct United States nationals IN
the interests of Great Britain.
Too, it was here that Ramsay Mac
Donald and his daughter Ishbei re-
sided when the head of the British
government came to washington 70
discuss with President Hoover the ques-
ton of naval parity.
Sir Frederick Bruce, then his
majesty's Minister to washington,
supervised the construction by an
American builder OF this famous old
mansion.
And IL was not until 1893 that It was
raised from the status Of legation TO
that Of an embassy.
With the appointment of Sir Michael
Herbert in 1902, his wife, the former
Lila Vanderbilt--sister Of Cornelius, sr.
became mistress Of the mansion.
After Sir Cecil Spring Rice resigned
and war missions were established came
Lord Chief Justice Reading, and later
Sir Edward Grey and Sir Auckland
Geddes, and more recently Sir Esme
Howard.
Twelve Ministers and Ambassadors
have left contributions to the memories
of this old embassy.

II one prefers, the same rug plan
can be developed In crochet rugs. The
craft work differs, but not the design
of the rug. Squares can be done in
crochet Tor knitting, and sewed to-
gether, or the work can be done in
strips of alternate squares. A cro-
cheted rug can be made in one piece,
but it is easier to handle strips than
the entire rug when it becomes stable.
Knit rugs are always done In sections,
the one exception being the circular
or cartwheel knit rug.
The squares do not have 10 be identi-
cal in color for the light or the dark
squares, but they must supply contrast
one to the other. If rugs are made
from frocks such variableness would
be natural. but, If the worelr prefers,
she can dye material to insure uni
formity. It should be remembered
that in olden times rug schemes were
carried out without exactly matching
colors. Faded material Is Just as good
for rugcraft as If 1t were new, The

and how ready they were to help lost

But all of this was forgotten in the

Visual Distance.


wherever you see something, you see
It with two eyes. Defective vision is
another question and not here consid-
cred. An object seen with the two
normal eyes is seen from two points of
view. Each of the two eyes receives
different images of that object.
Most objects cast different images
upon the two eyes. They must be BIZ
laterally similar and shadowless and
absolutely isolated from other objects
to do otherwise. Such visual situations
are very rare and hardly worth consid-
ering in any discussion of normal vision.
When a visual object is close at hand,
the two eyes automatically turn in
ward. This conveyance makes what is
called the visual angle" These angles
Of vision are different for objects seen
at different distances from you.
The two images OF an object ALA
contain markedly different backgrounds
in terms Of shadows. Nearby objects in
the visual field also play part.
Out of this situation you get what
might be called "cues" to what is be-
fore you in your field Of vision. These
cues are normally acquired judgments
of space. And thus you judge the dis
lance the object Is from you.
