| in themselves, or they may be ele-
ments of a pattern requiring num-
Der of units to make up the design.
When but one unit is required it is
silhouette applique, when several are
combined no name can be inclusive,
! for there are numerous kinds, such as
Persian, Indian broiderie perse, broid-
erie suisse, etc. But in all there is
the onlay of one or more patchwork
pieces to foundation.
Modern applique is used in all sorts
Of ways from quilts and mats to wall
pictures. Today one of these pictures
is featured. II consists of a silhouette
| of George Washington in black on a
twine coiored or white foundation. An
oval wreath of cherries and leaves en-
circles the silhouette, while the date
1882 beneath gives the natal year.
The numerals are in black the cher
ries in red and foliage in green. This
! medallion silhouette is something new.
1t makes just the sort of picture for
a mans or boys room and nothing
could be more appropriate for bridge
prize at party given on or near the
Fourth of July. The picture can be
developed in fine cotton, or linen, or in
paper. If the last the units should be
pasted to heavy cardboard.
The patterns are available as fol-
lows: Silhouette Of George Washing
ton. 10 cents; cherry clusters and nu-
merals both, 10 cents. Please do not
omit the self-addressed and stamped
envelope when sending coins, 10 cents
for the silhouette, or 20 cents for ev-
erything. Address requests to Lydia
LIE Baron Walker, care of this paper.
To make the oval perfect, lay a
good-sized platter on the foundation
textile and draw a faint pencil line
around it. Center the cutout silhouette
inside this. Arrange the cherry clus-
ters on this line, having them start
at center top of oval and fall in oppo-
site directions on the two sides, thus
stressing symmetry. Leave just slight
opening at lower center of oval and
position the numerals trifle below this
place. Frame in a narrow black
molding. 1t Is advisable to have the
background straight, so that the frame
need not be oval, as oval frames are
more expensive.

Rocky Mountains, ana IN
Southern England I came upon a huge
rock which had the shape of frog or
toad.
In many other parts of the earth,
rocks in the shape of animals or men
are to be seen. New Hampshire has a
famous figure in stone known as the
"Old Man of the Mountains"
We may weave stories OF fancy about
such figures. but we must remember that
they were brought about by accident.
During her long, long life Nature has
made millions of rocks, and it might be
expected that a few hundreds would
happen to have form with special mean
ing for us.
The simplest stone, however has a
story in it If We can but find it. Here
is a piece Of dark rock Ages ago it
was mud. Dried by the heat Of the sun.
and pressed down by layers above, 1t
turned into the rock we call "shale.'
Here is a light -colored stone. 1t is
composed chiefly Of the shells and bones
of animals which once lived in the sea.
To understand it, We must know that
oceans have existed where there is now
dry land. Pressure from above pow
dered the shells and bones, and turned
them into limestone.
Another piece of rock is black and
CLASSY. 1t came out of volcano in
liquid form. and cooled very quickly.
We call it "obSidian."

scopes. BY this method they have

When cooking canned tomatoes
always add a little sugar. This
removes some of the acidity and
gives better favor.
Make sure that the ground is
well saturated with water when
setting out plants in July. If the
plants are being taken from the
seed bed in your own garden wet
them down thoroughly SO that
considerable amount of earth will
adhere to the roots. Shade them
after they have been set out and
they will not wilt badly. If the
plants have large leaves remove
some of them or cut them in the

No group of chickens can make more
noise or find more fat grubs and worms
than these birds AS a result of such
incessant hunting they become quite
fat and portly. When frightened the
bird rises quickly into the air and when
