THING THIS OVER

"Do you really believe in that
Book" sneeringly asked a per-
son who regards the Bibiy light
ly, of person who regards the
Bible feverently.
"Yes," was the reply. "All my
life. ! have received hope and
comfort from the Bible. My faith
in its guidance and promises have
been a constant source of help
and uplift to me. What have you
to offer me in its place."
Think twice before you deprive
anyone of the benefits he re-
ceives from his religion unless
you have something better to
give him.

Although quilting is done by
women all over the South,
especially in the mountains, I
believe, it is the women of the
Kentucky mountains who do
the best, the finest, the most
original, according to Eleanor
Beard, who wrote the article I
read.
And furthermore, she has in
PRODUCED to them a method old
in history, but new to them. It
is called trapunto quilting and
was done by the women of
Italy, reaching it's height in the
Fifteenth century. It is quite
popular now, though rather diff
ficult. It is done in parallel
rows, and the design is raised
by pulling thin rows of wool
between the rows Of stitching.
The Kentucky women, who
pass the art on from mother
to daughter, stitch along, TAX
ing four or five stitches with
the right hand, while with the
left, they make sure they have
caught both the lining and the
interlining, which is often quite
thick. It's really quite a job,
to do it well.
But more interesting than the
method, which you needn't learn
unless you're going in for quilt
ing, yourself, is the ways it is
used these days.
OF course comforters are Of
first Importance, most popular.
They are made of SatinS, tat
feta, even velvet, and it's smart
to have the work done for you
in the colorS and materials you
want.
Then, as I said yesterday, it is
used for upholstery, and for slip
covers. This is no job for an
amateur, for the design must be
put Squarely in the middle, and
must be well done if it keeps its
good appearance.
A popular design for dTaperies
and upholstery is the cord and
tasSel, which may be arranged
in swags or in squares, with
taSSelS at convenient points. It
Is always graceful, and goes
particularly we'll with the claS-
sic modern so popular now.

Women used to affect a pos
ture that looked all forward"
Bust and shoulders went far
ahead of stomach and hips, and
when the figure didn't go well
enough that way, ruffles were
put on in front, and buStles on
the back. :,
Needles to say, this wasn't
very healthy, and to maintain
such a slant, with the weight on
the balls of the feet, high heels
came in very we'll. Women
gradually became accustomed to
this figure. There was a
straight line in front, below the
bust, but none in the back.
Sturdy corseting was needed.
Thanks to Activity
Then women began to drive
their own cars, to play golf and
tennis, to need and wear low
heeled shoes. The war came
on, with women in all sorts of
activity. And so the whole order
was reversed. Every curve was
eliminated that could possibly
be gotten rid of. We were as
straight as young boys.
But that wasn't normal either.
And we are just now de"
veloping really natural figures,
after years of too much hold
ing in and forcing in two diff
ferent directions.
Backs and Straight
Now the ideal figure has a
straight line in the back, not
the front. Busts are there, and
90 are stomachs, but both are
not supposed to be unruly. If
you're large, a foundation gar
ment is absolutely essential to
give smoothness to your figure,
though it needn't confine.
If you're small you might
possibly "get away with it,
without a girdle or foundation
garment Of any kind. But most
of us have bad points which
we developed in the unnatural
years. And even the young
often need a bit of smoothing
here and there.
Merely Support
Modern foundation garments
are designed to do the right
things for us, and to help along
our healthy figures. They
merely give support where it is
needed, massage off an unneces-
Gary roll of flesh, smooth down
lines that might be a little
