call of brass bells, all the functionaries

No man in the State Department,

Mr.. Summerlin will be a busy man

" United States to meet and
greet the Duke and Duchess
Of Windsor when they land in America
on Armistice Day, George T. Summer
lin, chief of the Protocol Division of
the State Department, considers No
vember II the triple triumph day of
his life.
To begin with, Mr.. Summerlin was
born November IL, 1872, at Rayville,
La. On November IL, this year, he
reaches the retirement age-65 years
but because of his vast experience
at a greeter extraordinary his tenure
of Office has been extended Indefinite
ly. Then again, he begins his first
diplomatic service on American soil
by welcoming the Duke and Duchess

President Roosevelt, along with
others, believes that no man in Amer
lea is better qualified than Mr.. Sum-
merlin to escort the Duke and Duchess
to Washington after their ship, the
Bremen, docks in New York.

There May Be Many Reasons for
Making Quilted Chair Pads.

IF ALL the reasons for quilted
! chair pads we're lined up N or
der of their Importance the most
intangible reason of all might head
the list. Yes, it is quite likely
that any decorator, amateur or
professional would place atmos-
phere at the top. But then it IS
also possible that first rating
might be given to the reason that
the pressure of Stats across the
backs of chairs is softened by
quilted pads. Then, though 1t
might not be mentioned, it is a
known fact that worn out cane
seats are sometimes replaced
with inexpensive composition
seats which may be disguised by
gay quilted pads.
Chintz, calico or gingham chair
pads are in fact one OF the sim
plest and most inexpensive ways
OF adding color and charm as well
as comfort to a room. Such pads
are often used on the backs of
chairs and not on the seats, and
especially for side chairs, the seat
pads used without any back COW
ering. In making such small
things as these it is quite easy to
do the quilting on the machine.
Or, if you wish to take the other
point OF view about it, the work OF
quilting them by hand would not
consume an unreasonable amount
of time. There is no doubt that
handwork has certain quaint
ness that machine work lacks.
The pads shown here are made
with one layer of sheet Waddinf
