MATERIAL
DUCK BORDER

~ EACH and garden cushions are
- outdoor accessories which lend
comfort to those who frequent
IL the seashore or who delight IN
gardens. They can be so easily
made and at such small cost that
there is every reason why they should
be among ones belongings. Today a
simple style of these cushions is given,
and it can be developed in different
ways. 1t can be a kneeling garden
cushion, an ordinary cushion to sit on
or put under ones head, or it can be
q combination pillow and bag.
The material chosen Is imitation
leather, which is merely glorified kind
of table oilcloth. This is waterproof,
and will not be hurt If it is left out in
the rain or is wet with ocean spray.
Nevertheless, its resemblance to leather
Is so good that the cushions have an
expensive look.
A duck motif for decoration Is offered
for 10 cents, accompanied by self lad
dressed envelope having Scent stamp
on it. Direct requests to Lydia lie
duck Is chosen because 1t Is not only
an appropriate outdoor motif, but be-
cause its contour is SO plain it can be
stitched by machine onto the back
ground pillow cover. An attractive
color scheme is medium blue for cush-
ion cover, with duck and border Of
yellow.
Cut two 18-inch or 20-inch squares
from the imitation leather material.
Seam three sides together on the wrong
side. Turn and fill with cotton batting,
or any preferred stuf11ng. Hair or
feathers would be finest, Of course, but

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

The First Brood.
I never did the kittens harm,
No human brute am I,
And yet their mother takes alarm
Whenever am by.
The moment that glance beneath
The stairway where they play
She grabs them with maternal teeth
And carries them away.
She's moved them to an attic chest,
She's moved them to the shed;
A much alarmed and outraged guest
Once found them in his bed.
Her back with wriggling burdens bent
She's journeyed near and far;
One day, to my astonishment
found them In the car.
Whenever any unknown noise
She hears, by night and day,
She gathers up her prides and joys
And carries them away.
The children Of . millionaire,
The progeny Of kings,
