TWO BEAUTIFUL BLANKETS FOR BABY.

quilting is to 60. Use this at back Of
Wadding preferably of wooD with the
silk or fine woolen material for the
front. Basic all three portions care
fully together.
With running stitches taken with
silk to match the color of the top tex
tile and through all three of the thick
nesses go about all outlines of ducks.
The stitches are, of course, taken on
the wrong side of the work and the
essential matter is that each stitch goes
through to the right side.
When all the quilting is completed.
baste the lining over the cheeSecloth
side and hem or bind the edges. Pull
out hastings and the blanket is COM
pleted. 1t will be exquisite, especially
when of silk.
If the blanket Is Of eiderdown fan
mel or heavy flannel, bind 1t with rib
bon. The eiderdown textile should be
lined before binding, which may be
wide or narrow silk or satin. One duck
of wadded silk near top corner OF the
blanket makes a dainty ornament. The
applique should be Of silk or satin to
match the binding. A big bow Of satin
ribbon positioned little to one side
of center and diagonally across from
the duck applique makes a finishing
touch. The duck pattern is used for this
applique work also. Send all requests
for pattern designs to Lydia LIE Baron
Walker, care of The Washington Star.
Directions for making the baby
blankets are given in this article and

He will not be able to hear you until
his necessity has been served. He needs
to hold his place among his fellows
and until he finds a better way the
loud voice must serve. Help him to
find way of succeeding and the voice
will soon find its proper level. Not
without few hints of course, and some
practice, but you can feel assured that
he will speak in normal tones once he
has succeeded in shining.
Sometimes shy child takes refuge
behind a big voice. One Of the sllyest
children I ever met used to shout his
answers to the teacher so he could be
heard down the length Of a 50-foot
corridor through closed oak doors.
When we managed to get his shyness
under control, the shouting ceased.

body says, and they are at once noisier

rasps at him, with the same result.
Clumsy, and therefore noisy, children
are those whose coordination is poor.
Say nothing about their noise and their
clumsiness. Find way Of training
them to deftness, to light and accurate
movements. train them to use their
bodies with grace and ease, and the
rest comes as a matter Of course.
And, this is gravely important, some
children cannot hear the noise they
make. If you have a noisy child who
does not respond to suggestion and
training, test his hearing. Deaf chill
dren, hard of hearing children, are
often noisy.

This king wanted the people to worship
the sun god under the name Of Atom.
You will find that in one line this god
Is addressed as "Ra," and that points
to the fact that people do not quickly
give up names of former days.
"Ra" was used as the name for the
sun god from the beginning of written
history in Egypt. Many were the fine
things said about him by the priests.
In one tale it was declared that Ra
had been king of the country, and had
gone to the sky when his reign on earth
was over.
In a country with such a long his
tory as Egypt, it is little wonder that
other names should have been applied
to the greatest Of all the gods. Next
to Ra, the most popular name was
HCrus.
Osiris, another important god of
Egypt, was lord of the underworld.
Legend said that he once had ruled over
Egypt, and had been good king.
Set was an evil god, and some per-
sons supposed that he ruled over the
fortunes Of war. 1t was declared that
Set had captured and killed Osiris, cut
ting his body to pieces. The goddess
Isis put the pieces together, and
Osiris came back to life; but he could
no longer be king Of Egypt. After be-
ing raised from the dead, Osiris went
to rule over the Underworld
