Bustles More Pointed

The difference between hustle ef-
fects appearing recently and those
of some time ago is in the shape of
the detail. Instead of being round
ed or curved, the bustles are more
pointed.
In spite of gray which is seen so
much and in such wide variety of
clothing, one is still under the i'm
preston that navy blue is the more
popular color for the season.
Scenes of American prints are ap-

American scenes when you buy

Hats continue to look like flower

Womon's World
Homemade Rugs Can Give Lift
To Rooms with Little Expense
by G,tta Haley

NNE Of the thriftiest ways to
~ brighten dull room Is to re-
place its rugs. No, I'm not talking
about laying out a large sum Of
money for a by IL rug that would
take a big chunk out Of the bank
account. I'm talking about little
scatter rugs that can be run off on
your own sewing machine.
Small scatter rugs, stitched,
tufted or woven, however you
choose to make them, are ideal
room brighteners for the bedroom,
porch or playroom.
Several women I know keep COL
lecting all their old clothing into
bags, and when they feel they have
enough to work with, they set them
selves aside a bit Of time and run
off several brand new rugs. It's
easy to see that the outlay for this
type Of sewing is kept at a mini
mum, and yet any investment Of
this kind returns its good many
times In the way it brightens a
room.
No matter what room needs
cheering, you'll find that you can
stitch a suitable rug that provides
just the right accent In colors and
design to complement the surround
ings. Cotton yarns, featured at local
sewing centers, make durable tuft-
ed rugs with deep luxurious pile.
They are easy to launder, too. With
q sewing machine attachment you
can wind the yarn in varying widths
to achieve the pile-depth desired.
There's big variety Of stitching
and designs in various colors, too.
The regular sewing machine stitch
er is used to anchor uncut fringe in
straight row after row formation.
With the handicraft guide attach
ment, the loops may be cut auto
matically as the work progresses by
means Of the cutting blade attached
to the guide.
All Types Of Rugs
Need Backing
Whether your rugs are made Of
Irvine, yarn or rags, they need. a
backing. Burlap Is the most durable
Of fabrics for this purpose, but any
strong, tough fabric may be used.
Feed bags, discarded awnings, sail
cloth, and even heavy, unbleached
muslin will do.
A rug favorite for the living room
or bedroom is the textured tufted
type with fringed border stitched
on all four sides. If this is made in
a monotone cream or off white
shade, the design can achieve spe-
cial distinction by diamond design
that's worked out by winding
process of varying pile depths. Un-
usual effects can be achieved by
these winding variations.
The handicraft guide attachment
may be used for the process, with

izing because a baby would not
come. Because this was an Italian
quarter, she began to study Italian
and discovered that she had a gift
for languages. She knew from the
beginning that in this hard, hot,
thankless work lay her salvation, so
she never missed a day.
Home Became Luxury.
To get home to her fresh clean
house, her gay little boys and
her tired husband became luxury.
Comfortable meals, her white soft
bed, her book and her lamp were so
many miracles. Molly was the life
Of the dinner table. Every day
brought her a new short story, right
. from the heart of life.
Peter got interested because she
was so interested herself. Her
house, her boys. her man had salts
fled for a time Molly's need to be
loved, useful and interested. But aft
er few years, life had taken them
somewhat away from her and
all the activities that kept her grand
mother busy-the spinning and weav-
ing, the baking and sweeping, the
fire-building and the boiling of soap
and even the washing of clothes had
been largely taken away, too. Molly
didn't have to seed raisins and make
over dresses, feed chickens and iron
her husbands shirts.
She would have been a fool to do
these things-the day for them is
long past. But the day when a
woman can find active, essential
work to do for the less fortunate new
er will be past. When every woman
with time and energy to spare finds
work as Molly did, we shall live in
a new world.
1t will be a world of good neigh
bors, who come in when there is
need, when there is crisis, and give
the most precious gift that can be
given-friendship. In that day many
more women than Molly will dis.
cover that to spread love and serv.
ice little further than the confines
of home is to make them all the
more secure in home itself.
