From Mrs. L. M. R., Washington
My, it did my heart good to sing
that nursery song as 1 read it as
I could hear my mother singing it
in my mind to my nephew. Her first
grandson. She also sang one more
verse, I can remember, which went
She'll do to make gravy
She'll do to make gravy
She'll do to make gravy
To put upon our bread.
Then she would start all over
again.
From Mrs. 2. G., Silper Spring.
GO Tell Aunt Rhode" is also one
Of my favorite nursery songs. My
mother sang it to me many years
ago, and now I have great fun
singing it to my little granddaugh-
ter. The only other verse I've ever
heard is:
1t died on Sunday
It died on Sunday
It died on Sunday
The old gray goose is dead.
From Mrs. M. X. F., Washington
I can only remember one verse,
and am sending it hoping it may
call to mind, others:
Break it to her gently
Break It to her gently
For she loved the old gray goose.

QUILT STITCHES.
From Miss v. F. T., Washington. J
I have book of stitches which
believe Mrs. w. E., Alexandria,
would find helpful. I purchased it
at a local 10-cent store within the
past year.
The little book includes illustra-
tions and directions for making sew
eral dozen different stitches. I don't
remember which store I purchased
the booklet at, but the name of 1t
is, THE ABC of Embroidery
Stitches" It's the second edition,
improved and enlarged, copyright,
1916, by ABC Publishing Co., 1886
West Seventy first street, New York,
N. Y.
From L. d. H., Washington.)
You may be interested to know
that there is a small book published
by M. BarroWs & Co., Inc, New
York, titled THE Work Basket En-
broidery Book" by Ruth Weyth
Spears, in which are something over
hundred stitches described and
illustrated, including those you
want. You might be able to locate
this at one of the book stores or
embroidery shops, and I am sure
you would enjoy it.

BOOKS SUGGESTED.
From Mrs. B. H. H., Washington.
If Mrs. w. E., Alexandria, will
purchase a copy of Mary Thomas
Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches" :"
I am sure she will find more stitches
than she will need for one quilt top.
There are 305 shown, although not
all would be suitable for patchwork
I enjoy reading and rereading this
dictionary for not only is each stitch
clearly illustrated, the making and
use Of the stitch described, but there
are clever little marginal drawings
that are very amusing.
THE Embroidery Book" by the
same author, shows many ways OF
combining individual stitches for
varied effects.
I bought these books several years
ago but have seen them in a book
store in Silver Spring within the
past year. 1t may be possible to
borrow them from the Public
Library. x X **
PASSEPARTOUT FRAMES.
From Mrs. d., Washington
The tape you mentioned in your
article (hoW to make picture
frames) is called Passepartout bind
ing. Many years ago I framed
many pictures with it. I would go
to the hardware store and get pieces
of glass to fit my pictures, then cut
out stiff piece of cardboard for

PAINTING LINOLEUM.

(From @. S. G., Washington
For Mrs. r. R., Silver Spring, re
painted linoleum: Mrs. R. has the
same problem I had 10 years ago,
my kitchen linoleum was shades of
green and brown and I thought
very ugly. wanted red and white
kitchen, so got enamel paint from
the dime store in deep red color
and painted two coats over the
linoleum. 1t worked fine and I
have been giving it additional coats
whenever necessary. 1t wears bet
ter if I covered with coat of shell
lac. My kitchen floor is much ad-
mired. OF course Mrs. R. can do
it herself or have some one do it
for her.

From K. B. E., Washington.)

lFrom X. B. E., WdSh1ngt0n.J
I believe the type of framing that
you wish to do is done with Passe-
partout picture binding. 1t would
make very pretty mounting for a
sampler. The binding can be bought
in variety of colors including black
and white. 1t is gummed on one
side and easily applied.
Have piece of glass cut the size
of the piece to be mounted. Then
cut piece of rather heavy card
board the same size of the glass.
Unless the sampler is worked on
rather stiff material. it might be

the cardboard with few spots of

By Don Kuowles

An article in the Oregon Jour
nal on Monday morning stated
that the two presidential candi-
dates, Stassen and Dewey, spent
a quiet Sunday resting in Port
land for the supreme effort start
ing this past week.
Believing that it would be a
very good time to have little
private conversation with my sup
ported candidate, Mr.. Stassen,
I drove into Portland for that pur-
pose. y
It wasn't difficult to get an APP
pointement Cor should we say an
agreement for a meeting) for by
100 I found myself in Bob FL
liott's Office, which was on his
two feet in front of the elevators
at the Imperial hotel.
/ was informed that Mr.. Stas-
sen was in conference IN room
234, but that he would be through
and could see me at 2:30. That
proved to be correct for, right on
the dot at 2::30, the ex-governor
stepped from the elevator, stuck
out a big paw and said: "Glad to
see you, Knowles. Come on for
a ride. 1 have a short meeting
a few blocks up the street" So
we went rolling through the rain
covered streets, lodging street
cars and umbrellas. s ~
His first words were: "How's
that Kennewick grape crop?" and
then: "You have a good man in
that fellow, Hal Holmes" Then
he was off for Grange meeting.
but asked me to come along and
we could talk some more later.
At 4:40 the Grange meeting was
over and we piled back into the
same taxi and drove seven more
blocks in the other direction to
the Portland hotel where he had
meeting with. the Women's Re-
publican club. During that ride
he somehow got in the point that
he was very disappointed that
Mr.. Dewey refused to have an
open debate where the public
could see and hear, and that he
felt that victory in Oregon pri-
maries would triple his Washing
ton support because a primary
victory such as that in the state
of Oregon shows more power than
do the opinions of handpicked
delegates, especially when he did
mt do the picking.
At 4:45 we We're back at room
234 at the Imperial hotel, where
he was having a conference with
members of the Republican Cen
trail committee. That is, after we
nearly ran over a dog and two
bicycles. During this third dash
across town, he explained that
should he gain the nomination
(and he didn't seem too doubtful
that he would be glad to make a
